Looks like the high bidder is a legit card buyer. The only other bidder over $40 is someone who has not bid on much of anything lately, and no cards. This person has made 20 bids and run it up to $1027. Is this a shill situation? Is the underbidder bumping it incrementally to try to find the max bid?

Still doesn't explain why "seplotnick" would bid $1000 in the first place.....

You would have to figure that the underbidder on this card would have a difficult time explaining a bid retraction after pushing it so far up. At this point if the underbidder pushed past the high bidder and made a retraction I would think that they would get NARUd for the effort and the high bidder could back out of the auction.

This is some really odd bidding....

i cant speak for the under-bidder but seplotnick is a major buyer of jewish sports memorabilia and is absolutly legit.

I agree with Jamie. Seplotnick is one of the major buyers of Jewish sports memorabilia, particularly vintage material.

But, something doesn't seem kosher with this auction of this card is going THAT HIGH....

SE Plotnick is clearly a serious collector-- apparently serious enough to drop $1000 on one Zeenut. But the underbidder is a little scary. Worth reporting to ebay as possible shilling?

It throws up red flags when a bidder bids in increments at even dollar amounts. I don't know about everybody but I always bid amounts such as 106.33 or 1222.34 or something like that, never $100.00, $175.00, $275.00, etc.

All,

I am very familiar with both the seller and the consignor of this item. I can vouch for their honesty and integrity 100% that there is no shill bidding. jkbarber has over 3000 positive feedbacks, 8000 positive in total with no negatives.

Maybe I should clarify-- I was never really questioning the integrity of the seller or the high bidder, just the underbidder. But it seems to be a simple case of "Jewish player collectors gone wild," I guess.

I appologize -- I guess it's legit - like mentioned before "Jewish cards gone wild"
