When I got serious about collecting Indian cards, I had to quit placing even tracking bids because others out there were tracking what I was bidding on and placing huge bids on items I bid on, figuring that if I was interested, then it was something worth dumping money into. I was not only buying cards at the time, photos, books, anything else related. If you go back and look at bidding histories, you start noticing the same names over and over again if you are collecting something very specialized. You eventually ahve to quit leaving early bids so as not to tip off others to desirable items.

For me, when it comes to cards of players who only appear in one set and set isn't seen often, I will not bid. I know no one is really tracking me to see what I am buying in baseball, except zach , but I have no desire to tip my hand that I am even remotely interested in a card. So, if you see me bid on something, it's something I'm interested in, but it's not a high priority item.

Leon, no worries , if I can't win an auction with a roll of quarters, I can always use it as a fist load when I attack others
