I would look at A & C both being viable options, but I would lean toward C. You never know if the rich collector has had something come up financially or personally that would keep him from bidding to the end. What you don't want is to lay off expecting him to get it, then find out he didn't and someone else jumps in. Then you may have to compete with him for the next one. If you are willing to bid $XX I saw go for it. Whether you wait until last minute or throw it out early is your call.

This rich collector has a much deeper pocket and willing to pay whatever it take to own this Cobb BL460.
A, I will not bid heavily since I know I won't win and I don't want to bid too much to "inflate" the price in case a 3rd specimen come up in the future, so that it won't set an inflated price as a market value for the 3rd specimen.
B, I know that rich collector wants the card so bad, I will keep on bidding and make him pay an insane amount.
C, My budget is just $X and that's my max bid.
