Rob DewolfMatt, you say you're looking "to gather other's experiences."
Before you made your post about "board members" previously advising you to stay away from Lew Lipset's auctions because of trimmed cards and shilling, you no doubt saw the number of posts today from board members who bid on multiple lots in last night's auction. My guess is those collectors have no qualms bidding. My guess is you also came to that conclusion.
So what was your post really designed to do? You yourself wrote, "I see here many board members have no problems bidding on his auction whatsoever."
Are you hoping some of "board members" who previously advised you to stay away will post their stories of shilling and the auctioning of trimmed cards?
It seems to me that you were able "to gather other's experiences" without posting about supposed shill bidding of which I'm guessing you have no proof.
Regardless, here's hoping you're learning a lot before you "bid thousands of dollars on something."
