When I lay down a placeholder bid, I know I want to go after the item, but still need to get on vcp, consult an opinion or two, really do my homework in choosing my bid amount and strategy. So I put an early bid in when there's no chance the bids will win, knowing I will later circle back around. Often my watching list is too crowded and my bidding section will only have my top priority cards. Sorry my two best hobby friends and I just wound up using this term and I let my shorthand slip out. Should have explained better.
