Shill bidding:
the practice of bidding for something that you are selling in an auction in order to increase the selling price
Shill bidding is against the law.
Heritage has been bidding on its own items, with full disclosure, since time immemorial. This is well publicized. The whole hobby knows it. I am sure it's not illegal under Texas law or someone would have cracked down on them, long ago. Anyhow, good luck discerning their intent on any given bid, unless there is a ceiling bid already in place.
