Every time I've joined a group it has been because I really did not want to get stuck with the cards in the lot and the group as a whole has bid more than the individual members would have bid because each of us could put more in the pot knowing that we weren't going to get stuck with all the cards. I know that I would have either bid very low or not at all on the lot had there not been a group.

As long as auctioneers insist on lots of disparate items it makes sense for these groups to form. There are lots in the current auctions where I want literally 5%-10% of the cards. I am not going to bid anywhere near retail on those lots without partners.
