1 - I didn't know you had one, but certainly would be looking for your Harmony Milk Clemente.
2 - Fortunately for my wallet, I am not into most of the super rare hot dog cards in the current auction. As for "the rest".......well, as I said in my last post - I placed more initial bids in this auction than I have ever placed in any auction I've bid in.
Wishing you all the best with the sale Larry!

I genuinely don't understand the reason for multiple early bids/battles on a lot. Unless you have a very good idea where a lot will go and want to lock up a bid level because it's going to get there anyhow, which makes some sense to me. But "tangling" with someone on opening day -- why?

I was thinking the same thing. Get my bids in and save the push for the final night. Instantly being outbid on day 1 is the norm, I'll pick my battles on the 6th.

Right. Who cares if you aren't ahead?

I understand it in theory: getting the price up quickly to discourage people from bothering to bid. Also, perhaps to put a max bid in first at the price the card is worth I suppose. For me, I put in placeholders just so I don't forget. I don't even go back to REA until the auction is well into extended bidding. If the cards I'm after are still within a range I'm willing to pay, I bid; if not, I don't.

As I said, I get the max bid, if the price is fairly predictable, you want to lock up a bid level and make someone really overpay to beat you (which in my case they doubtless will anyhow). I don't see how driving up the price early is going to scare someone who really wants the card off it. It's just going to make it more expensive.

This is what I do as well. I've been outbid on half of my bids so far, but none of it matters until about midnight May 6th.

Had a coding issue with my account; I emailed REA and Brian responded literally within minutes. Fantastic customer service. I look forward to winning a few T206s (and perhaps my first e90-1) in May!!

Some people leave high ceilings on the first day, so when others come in to qualify, two bids kick in. That creates the illusion of very heavy demand. Generally speaking, people who open with high ceilings can remain high bidder for virtually the entire auction, right up until the last half hour, when they then lose it. From my experience, not a winning strategy.

I didn't get mine yet and will be sure to report back every day if everyone else here agrees to do the same.

There are several reasons I will “tangle” day 1 - First, as Jeff suggested, if it’s something I really want, I put in a large max bid so that 50% of the bids getting there are mine, thus potentially limiting the number of competitors in extended bidding. Second, sometimes I want a certain spot, or want the last bid before a bid-increment cliff (like when bids go from $500 to $1000), so I put in my max bid to ensure I get that spot if it gets there. That said, I only do this with cards I really really want, otherwise I may have too many large bids on too many large items (large being a relative term)

Personally, I don’t put any credence into Day 1 bidding strategies. There are too many dudes with deep pockets going after the best cards. No one who really wants a blue chip is going to be “shut out” of the extended session because of aggressive early bidding, in my estimation.

So have I. But oh, the catalog. The smell. The pictures. The empathy for the poor postal employee that delivered it. One of my favorite mail days of the year.

I'm pretty much done. One item I might get back in on depending on how it goes from here, but I'm not holding too much hope. I was at this point a couple hours after it started. Oh well.

The best is when you way overpay for a card you want bad and it doubles in value after two years

my Type 1 photo from the Fred Merkle replay game of 1908 is in it along with some other 1909 type 1's. My second time consigning with REA. Very exciting indeed!

Fantastic offerings. Can someone please lend me a $1 million? I promise my estate will pay it back as best it can after the cards I buy are liquidated after my death.

With that strategy you will be able to limit the number of competitors. The problem is you will be limiting the wrong ones.

The guys you knock out probably weren't going to win the lot anyway. The ones who are likely to win it are still there. So you are only creating the illusion of less competition.

So true, Barry. It's much easier to place in the race than win it.

You are probably right, as I end up the high bidder probably 50% of the time when all is said and done. End of the day, no matter how you play it, if you want the card, you need to be high bidder when it’s all said and done

Got my catalog on Friday! Probably because of my large number of consignments - delivered via FedEx.

Very excited about one lot in particular...will be bidding strong on that one with “house money”.

Bid strong my friends. Bid strong! But not on the lot that I want!!

Got my catalog today. With hopes of not offending, my wife calls it "card porn". I make jokes about having her draw a bath, pour a glass of wine and getting out the REA catalog in advance of a romantic evening!

Yep, lot goes to the highest bidder. That's how it works.

The serious bidders are aggressive on the last day or in extended bidding. As stated by others putting bids in on the first day on items of interest allows me to review the items I might go after depending on where the price is on the final day. Most importantly it allows me to bid during the extended period when the action becomes serious. I have never been one to put in top all bids other than on ebay snipes. Even on ebay it never feels good to put the highest price I would pay in the snipe software.

Note to Clydepepper since you asked: About 40 scattered lots. Major ones might be the Plank Sepia PC, one-of-a-kind Allegheny, Gem Mint WaJo WG5, top-graded Rose PC for Chance, rare Cy Young PC, Evers t206 Hindu, Matty t206 Cycle and PSA 5 Bernhard Hindu, Evers Newsboy, rare and wacky Hartnett Whiz Bang, PSA 4 Mayo fo Hugh Duffy, a nice Red Sun and so on.....

I put a bid in every lot I was interested in. Not going to chase windmills until extended bidding....

I found that setting a high bid early only gives serious bidders a mental readiness to bid higher in a bidding war. The bidding war will come but better to have your competition less time to think about stretching his bid...

Now I'm beginning to understand why I never win anything!

My REA phone book arrived in the teeming metropolis of Manassas, VA, today.
