Default 1873 Boston Cabinet in Mastronet Auction

Interesting post about bidding strategy. Personally Hal I think it is a bad idea to disclose your HIGH bid. I think this will encourage other bids and cost you some extra money even though you will still probably win the lot. It may increase the value of your other card, but maybe not. Look at the bidding on the Doyle-NY versus what Olbermann paid for an inferior copy several years ago. A high price on this card will not necessarily translate to a high price on a similar card next time it becomes available. Also, I know of at least three of these so whoever mentioned two known copies is off base.
