Scott ElkinsThe best advice I can give is to bid high on the stuff you really want. If not, and you expect to acquire the card in the future, you will be paying that price PLUS the profit for the dealer!
Some advice I can give you as well to help fund these extra bid amounts needed to win cards you really want is: Buy cards you don't even collect when you see them at a bargain, wait a couple months and resell for a profit yourself. These small profits add up and can be used to make sure you win the card(s) you really want when they come up for sale. ENJOY THE HOBBY!
