If they really want to make this sports auction seem believable they should have overhyped long-winded auction descriptions, items of questionable authenticity, graded cards that look somewhat similar to cards from the previous auction except this time they have higher grades, blind top-all bids that consistantly hit their maximum, cut-throat buyer's premiums, a 10 minute rule that runs the auction into sunlight hours of the following day, a strict ban on credit cards, plus published reports of ongoing criminal investigations by various law enforcement agencies.
