Is there any industry other than sports memorabilia that frowns upon shill bidding? I have witnessed hundreds of auctions that openly are shilled by the auctioneer (up to a hidden reserve) to garner interest and favorable outcome to the seller. It seems like sports collectors have turned a bogey man out of an otherwise unanimously accepted positive influence on auction house experiences. Just my two cents.
