From Thomas Sowell's Basic Economics: "The classic definition of economics is that it is the study of the allocation of scarce resources which have alternative uses. If resources-the ingredients of production-were not scarce, there would be no economics. We would be in an Eden or a utopia."

C'mon Daryl, you know this isn't the same thing. 102- with only one duplicate (Frank Owen). And, I don't agree that all scarcity is manufactured-even though I do agree that Thomas Sowell is a genius. (assuming that's why you quoted him ).

Sincerely, Clayton

C'mon Clayton, you need to spread the wealth around and let 101 other collectors join in on the fun!

And yes, Thomas Sowell is a genius!

Daryl, are we talking about the same issue here or what?

I don't expect anyone to "spread the wealth". That's nonsense.

Can someone please explain to me why shill bidding is wrong? I mean, a seller is just trying to maximize his/her profits after all, right? It's not like you have to bid in the auction, right? If it goes undetected, the reflective prices don't ever set a precedent, do they? Isn't it just capitalism, and the American way?

Shilling is fraud; the shill bidder has no intention of winning the auction. A "hoarder" is winning auctions at ever increasing prices as supply diminishes and, as said earlier, those prices go back down when they are sold again as supply increases.

So, it boils down to simple innocent hoarding then. I see. Got it.

Are you the hoarder?

I may be missing something here but if this guy is still buying up the Tituses--as many claim he ism via eBay (see previous posts)--then he is paying the same high prices that he allegedly aimed to inflate, so he is victim of his own game....

If he is still buying them, then maybe it isn't a game, maybe he just wants as many as he can get and doesn't care what it does to the value. Some people are strange and like collecting the same card
