i've never understood the issue with "string bidding." why wouldn't a buyer want to increase the next bid the minimum amount in many auction scenarios assuming there is no bid retraction and the buyer pays? please explain.

as for the price of the matty, t206 prices of iconic hofers are outpacing the market, and the sgc 5 has better eye appeal imo than recent psa 5 sales in the mid 3k range.

we're seeing more examples of sgc cards getting psa prices in popular registry sets based on the eye appeal of the card rather than the grade or tpg company. that's a good thing for the hobby.
