I understand your point that the bids had no impact on the final price, but regardless, it's still shill bidding. Please keep in mind, this is one card of many he has shilled.

This is done through feedback. I usually look at the feedback the seller leaves for the buyer, because the buyers usually don't leave feedback in these cases (less chance of being caught). To show you how it works, let's use the Gehrig that Panky doctored...

1.) Open the auction and click on the bid history.
2.) It shows 9***8 (408) as the winner. That never changes from auction to auction, only the number in parenthesis (the feedback) will change.
3.) Now open the sellers feedback and click on "Feedback left for others."
4.) Scroll down until you find the bidder with 408 feedback.
5.) You'll see that it's member cgseller89.
6.) Once you know the username, it's easy to track from auction to auction
