Frank WakefieldRob, you ask how I KNOW...
I don't know, I believe. And if you don't, then I can't assemble sufficient proof so you'll know. Even if some guy admits to bidding on his card once because he was afraid it would sell too low, that would be a belief thing, do you believe he's truthful. Only way you'd KNOW is for you to do it yourself and remember it.
For me, I've seen a few auctions on eBay that seemed a bit screwy to me, some I found myself, some that folks here have posted about. I don't think all or most or half of old baseball card eBay auctions have a shill. But I also don't think that none of them ever have had a shill. How could you believe that it has never happened?? Any proof for that??
