Yes it was me who won all the Cubs through Ebay last night and I learned a valuable lesson. Don't bid early and high. The real problem I have about this whole situation is the bid retractions. The guy (or gal) goes with the Ebay ID of: the coop. Apparently PWCC is turning him in to Ebay for the retractions but they are only going to give me the benefit of the shill bidding on one of the 12 auctions. Expensive lesson learned. Thanks COOP!

A board member did this?
 Maybe there's an explanation--he does say he's a life-long Cubs fan.

So I've heard he is (a Cub fan). Why punish me by bidding me up to the very last dollar on each auction. I guess we are just two avid Cub collectors going for something we both really wanted.
I vented enough. Lesson learned on my part.

With patience you can get nice ones fairly inexpensive, I have a bunch that I purchase on appearance basis, I usually had to pay around $20 for commons. I never found that any seem tougher than others, unless you are talking about the ad backs.

I agree with the sentiment that they are not rare... I have picked these up at antique stores Four $10-$20 apiece... Mainly commons in very nice condition. Some of the Hall of Famer's will set you back pretty big bucks... Unless you're willing to take damaged ones They are quite frankly a steal For what they are!
For me the size is a turn off.

Always bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay. Never bid again. There is no logical reason to bid early. The later you bid, the less time anybody has to outbid you. I would be curious to see the bid history on the ones with retractions, but I'm too lazy to find them on ebay searching finished auctions. If you "won" items with bids that were higher than another bidder, but that same bidder retracted bids that were higher than yours, I personally would refuse to pay for the items any amount that included the other guys bids. Meaning that your winning bid should go down to one bid increment above the third bidder involved, assuming there was one, and if the bidding only involved you and the retracting guy, then I would only pay the opening bid amount. Of course, I've been thrown off of ebay multiple times, so maybe I'm just an asshole. Insert smiley face here. Doug
