Who hasn't been frustrated by losing a card be it raw or graded because someone could and did bid more than they were willing to. There is no right or wrong here. This is a part of what the hobby has become, it's evolution and investing has always been a part of any hobby. Who can say that these people are or are not collectors, obviously they are collecting something - high grade cards. Somebody does not have to collect what I do and the way I do it for them to be a collector. Is it frustrating - yeah, sometimes. But I am not going to question their motives or whether they are a collector or not. If I lose a card, I deal with it and move on. Now, if the auctions were subject to shilling, that is another matter entirely!
