At the end of the day, November 22nd I printed out my bid list (I put a bunch of bids early so that if I still have interest on the last day I can participate during the 30 minute rule period). Below are the closing prices as of that time and in parenthesis are the number of bids since that time. The activity in the last ten days on these relatively elite/high demand cards is very minimal. The additional bids in the last ten days ranges from 0 to 5, with 10 out of the 11 cards receiving 3 or fewer bids. It seems to me that these auctions that have 20 day bidding periods could accomplish the same result by shrinking it to 10 days. I don't know about the rest of you but the last ten days has seemed like "hurry up and wait" which just serves to aggravate me.
