You are probably right, as I end up the high bidder probably 50% of the time when all is said and done. End of the day, no matter how you play it, if you want the card, you need to be high bidder when it’s all said and done

Got my catalog on Friday! Probably because of my large number of consignments - delivered via FedEx.

Very excited about one lot in particular...will be bidding strong on that one with “house money”.

Bid strong my friends. Bid strong! But not on the lot that I want!!

Got my catalog today. With hopes of not offending, my wife calls it "card porn". I make jokes about having her draw a bath, pour a glass of wine and getting out the REA catalog in advance of a romantic evening!

Yep, lot goes to the highest bidder. That's how it works.

Took me a long time to figure it out.

The serious bidders are aggressive on the last day or in extended bidding. As stated by others putting bids in on the first day on items of interest allows me to review the items I might go after depending on where the price is on the final day. Most importantly it allows me to bid during the extended period when the action becomes serious. I have never been one to put in top all bids other than on ebay snipes. Even on ebay it never feels good to put the highest price I would pay in the snipe software.

Note to Clydepepper since you asked: About 40 scattered lots. Major ones might be the Plank Sepia PC, one-of-a-kind Allegheny, Gem Mint WaJo WG5, top-graded Rose PC for Chance, rare Cy Young PC, Evers t206 Hindu, Matty t206 Cycle and PSA 5 Bernhard Hindu, Evers Newsboy, rare and wacky Hartnett Whiz Bang, PSA 4 Mayo fo Hugh Duffy, a nice Red Sun and so on.....

I put a bid in every lot I was interested in. Not going to chase windmills until extended bidding....

I found that setting a high bid early only gives serious bidders a mental readiness to bid higher in a bidding war. The bidding war will come but better to have your competition less time to think about stretching his bid...

Now I'm beginning to understand why I never win anything! :D

My REA phone book arrived in the teeming metropolis of Manassas, VA, today.
