As long as there are no misrepresentations to the bidding community is all I said. As David pointed out above, if the cards were marketed as "the only high grade card in existence!" then it is misleading. What is hypocritical is your pointing out how ethical Heritage is by its poor handling of the Black Swamp Find due, according to you, to its strong ethical considerations -- but ignoring the seeming lack of ethics by Heritage of burying the fact that it bids in its own auctions and hides that info in paragraph 21 of its rules section.
