What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

A Mint Signed Picture Postcard of Luftwaffe Fighter Ace and Knight’s Cross Recipient Hermann Graf

A mint picture postcard signed by the Luftwaffe Fighter Ace and Knight’s Cross recipient Hermann Graf of the Fighter Wing 52. He was the first pilot to reach 200 victories, for which he was awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oakleaves, Swords, and Diamonds - it was the first award of its kind and the highest award at the time. The obverse of the picture postcard states “Major Graf - Recipient of the Knight’s Cross with Oakleaves, Swords, and Diamonds”, with his signature in dark blue ink. Clearly visible in the photograph is his Knight’s Cross with Oakleaves, Swords, and Diamonds, a German Cross in Gold, a Romanian Pilot’s Badge, a Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe for Fighter Pilots in Gold, as well as his Combined Pilots-Observer’s Badge in Gold and Diamonds. The reverse is labelled “Major Graf” in neat handwriting. It measures 142 mm x 99 mm, in mint condition.
