Auction Timing and Overlap

I always figured the auction companies want to have an auction scheduled around April and May because people will have received their tax refunds by then.

And because people start going on vacations in June.

I assumed since most cards are baseball related, they want to coincide with the start of the season. I like the many auctions but moving a few into March would make it easier on bidders. The hardest part is figuring out a bidding strategy with all the overlapping start and end dates. It is a positive that the market can absorb all this inventory at seemingly strong prices. It looks like all the Mantles are doing well in bids. I thought there was a lull in 52 topps price growth but these Mantles seem to be getting Smr levels.
