some of them are really nice, but his auctions are a massive Shill bidding party if you ever bother to check them out. I don't see how you can have bidders with hundreds of bids and they only seem to bid on this guys items. they rarely win anything, and the fact that the cards are only offfered " a few times a year" gives him the opportunity to alter and relist any cards won by his shill bidding buddies or other accounts he is using.
I'm a fan of the negro league cards and cuban baseball players he does...I just can't bring myself to bid on them anymore because of the shady bid history on most of his items. I've bought a few of the Helmar items from secondary sellers and get them for way cheaper than what he sells them for on his account.
The cards are not worth the exorbitant prices they sell for...it's the actual artwork used to make the cards that is worth something
