This same card was put back on eBay on November 16th at 8:22pm (82 minutes later), by the same seller!

I followed the first auction and thought it was weird that the card would be relisted so quickly by the seller, until I looked at the bidding pattern and checked out his other past auctions! It seems obvious that the card was shilled by JaxBelle28! As are most of the seller's other auctions! No feedback was left for JaxBelle either.

Another card, won by a "former board member"? looks to be shilled as well, costing him almost $70!

Any thoughts? I planned on contacting eBay, and Kenny Cole, but wanted some opinions before I did so.

Thanks, Ray
