I used to wonder who was dumb enough to bid in their auctions, then once about two years ago a Christy Mathewson signed ball showed up on the local Craiglist. It looked strait of the a CC auction and sure enough I checked the last auction and it was lot # 4000 and something. I emailed the seller just to screw with him and see how much he wanted for it (it closed at CC for $200). He wanted 10k. That wasn't surprising. What was surprising was that the name affixed to the return email was that of my in-law's neighbor, a well-to-do business owner.
