Seriously! I was watching all these, and bid several but got outbid on each (came close on 2 but deferred at the end). Youngs was the most extreme. As is, I guess I now prefer when they (E122, E220) come up in 1's and 2's, as opposed to a big batch... Ones I've picked up recently (Collins, Roush, etc) went for far less than these.

Actually, it looks like there was a third bidder at +$600. That is a sweet card from what I thought was still an under-appreciated set.

Winner bid twice, upping his own high bid (well before auction end).. Wonder what his max was.

I was under bidder by $0.88 on Bancroft.. But decided to stop there, knowing the next bid would've won it.

There were three bidders over $600, and for good measure the winning bidder put in another bid (that may, or may not, have been higher than his other bid) to at least try to make people think he had increased his maximum.

This is a case of three bidders blowing up the value, it looks like a pretty normal bidding pattern to me.

I was watching as well (but from afar). Many would consider this and his 1921 Koester's Bread as his rookie card ... The mislabeled "Pep Young" 1919-21 W514 is not a popular choice.

I certainly didn't expect it to go for $600+

I just found out who this player was. That's a big price.

Must be something about Youngs. A few months ago I bought an E120 Youngs in a PSA 4 or 4.5. Bad things happened and I had to turn around and sell it much too quick. I asked close to what I paid for it on the BST here, but no luck. Dumped it on ebay as a last resort and wound up getting about 2.5x what I was asking here.

Default E220

Possibly its relatively high condition was a contributing factor...National Caramels are a normally sickly looking group with a large majority horribly miscut.

I remember that one.. think I congradulated you then and will offer congrats again!

Definitely some good pre-eBay deals to be had here on occasion... recent E120 Pie Traynor prices have seemed pretty nuts to me as well and remember one (think a 4) offered here for like $200 before several of the recent eBay sales.

How do you know what their max was?

If you're losing by less than the minimum bid, then you know what someone bid.

For instance. If I bid $100 and the minimum bid was $1 and the high bid was 100.88, then I would have been ahead with the next bid

Here is an actual case of two registry dorks (oops I mean bidders) blowing up the value of a slab (oops, I mean a card) :
