I dont think Hal was saying your auction is crooked as we all know you run a clean business and offer the best stuff from your niche in the Hobby. I think he would have made the same comment had it been any auction house offering this card for sale given what someone recently attempted to do with that T210 Jackson. He is not saying that there IS going to be a problem, just that somebody could theoretically do what he mentioned with shill bidding and attempt to raise the value of the card for a future sale. Consequently, if the owner of the card is known to several people in the hobby, it does not seem likely that this would happen. I am sure the owner is just like the rest of us. I am pretty sure that EVERY piece of sports memorabilia is for sale at a price, he has just set the price at what he would be willing to let the card go for.

Also Ryan, why was Esteban Prats not given more consideration for the Hall? Everything I can find points to the direction that he was a great player but I saw no mention that he was even a topic of conversation among the recent Hall candidates, but I have yet to see any career statistics for him.
