You claim that H&B knew Bushing owned the bat (my assumption is you are claiming they knew he owned the bat BEFORE they bid on it, although you curiously didn't make that distinction).
Yet, Marshall Fogel (one of the prominent collectors you mention in your post) is quoted (among others) in a New York Daily News article that H&B did not know.
How can you prove H&B knew? (Right now it looks as though you are lying to cover up for an ugly scandal.)
As regards the rest of your post, why not refuse to provide authentication services to auction houses that refuse to make public in an item description whether an item has been authenticated by one of your SCDA authenticators who also happens to own the item?
