2 Westmoreland and 1 Martin here.

Just an FYI for everyone for the future: If you bid early either bid your absolute max or only bid on one. I had originally put in for 5 at $7 the first day thinking I'd take that many if they went cheap or I'd bid higher on 1 or 2 if they ended for bigger money. The way ebay does it your next bid has to be higher than your previous bid. For me this was $5x7 or $35. So even if I decided I only wanted one I would have to bid $35.50 on one just to increase my previous bid.

But you don't pay $35.50 unless that is the lowest winning bid. In your example of 5 x $7, I would consider moving my bid to 3 x $13. That way you stay on budget and your total bid only increases by $1.

Yup, noticed that with my bids on the blues, fortunately it didn't cost me any money.

On a separate note, I wonder when we will first see a blue or a gold parallel back up on ebay and see how the market responds to it.

Yea, but if it cost $35 I probably didn't really want one.

I was able to snag a Wieters with a bid of $100. Took Brian's advice on bidding high as the ones who will want multiples will usually keep the price below that.

Now I've got the base Razor Metal Wieters rainbow. I don't think I'll go after the autos though as those are going to be insane for a 2nd year card...

I was 2/2 on the Matusz.
Got me 2 Blues & 2 Golds.
1 each for PC for sure. 1 each possibly for tradebait or flip if prices go nuts.

I'm gonna have to hope sometime in the future a gold alonso will appear and be in my price range, most likely it will never happen. That and the Gutierrez Super appear lost (in wossa's collection) forever

I picked up an Alvarez, Hosmer, and a Hicks. Pretty nice cards considering that the Alvarez and Hosmer now have print runs of 15.

I won 11 of the Gold Hood's and 20 of the Blue Hood's. Went a bit over board, but I am still happy.

I hope we get some autos up this week. So far only two gold auto cards have been released.

Also may need a base metal auto tracker with both Tim Beckham and Inoa ending in the 24 hours. Wonder how many of those get purchased from the allotment now on ebay. Neither seem that close to selling out. Inoa has a fairly short print run compared to Beckham in this run.

Neither will come close to selling out unless thepit or someone who sells them to thepit buys them. Hopefully we start to see some more autos, but i doubt it with the season underway.

Less than a 100 Beckham have been sold with only 3 hours to go. Yeah, might be awhile till we see more autos get put up.
