Someone should place a $97 snipe bid to reinforce this bidding pattern. The 97 dollar bid will not win the card, but will make the original overbidder feel great that he went high enough. This is what I would call a "transparent" bidder. I think it is the same guy recently discussed on the "spastic bidder" thread on this board.

Yeah, I think there's a chance that this guy overthought this whole thing. But yes, I agree about your assessment. His bidding pattern accomplishes 1 of 2 things, to get the card cheaper. A)The bidding looks suspicious, and may keep someone else from bidding. and B)Any thought would point to his high bid being $100, and people may not bid again, knowing that they don't wanna go that high.
Either way this guy's trying to score the card closer to $60, than 100, and this bidding pattern might accomplish that. Unless, someone wants to counter-dick him...
