These types of auctions are exercises in futility. My guess is that the reserve is set at a level way above the worth of the card and bidding on it will serve only one of two purposes, either hit the reserve and end up paying a crazy price or setting a high market floor level for the card that the owner never has to sell. IMHO people who really want the card should only bid after the reserve is revealed if it proves to be a set at a legitimate level. Otherwise, they are just costing themselves more money when the card is reauctioned in the future.

Hal--looks like we are on the same wavelength
