It would be nice for this board to discuss a topic without everybody getting into a shouting match. It is legal and not uncommon for an auction house to offer a group of items singly and then allow one bidder to top the cumulative bids and win the whole group. They stated it clearly in the catalog and everyone knew that going in. It may frustrate the bidder who wishes to buy one card but as an auctioneer myself my main responsibility is to get my consignor the highest possible price. That is what American Memorabilia is doing so what's the beef? If you were the consignor you would be thanking them.
