I'm puzzled as to why the bids are so high so early. When I checked the 1914 Ruth yesterday it had 33 bids and was at 100K (it may already be higher). And that's in the first 24 hours.

Does anyone expect to win the lot on the second day? There are still two and a half weeks to go. What can be gained from all that early bidding?

Edited to add I now see it has 35 bids. And I am certain that is not 35 different qualifiers. Is there already a bidding war going on?
