But it made the bid amount jump from just under $30 to the winning bid of $123.53. In the November auction, d***2 again came in at the last minute and was able to post a winning bid. This time, last minute bids pushed the amount from around $40 to the winning bid of $56.78. Bottom line, there were two very determined bidders in October with one of them getting the card. That meant that in November, there was only one determined bidder who got the card for much less.

great points....thats why i always look to see where the price point was before THREE unique (non shillers hopefully) got into the action. A sale price when its just between 2 guys really doesnt mean much especially if the winning bidder is no longer going to be buying that card.
