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?

Sincerely, Clayton

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?

No, are you?

After posting that Titus collage above (along with the poor internet meme/joke) I realized that I'd better come back on here to say that, no, I am not the Titus hoarder either.

I bought that piece mainly for the E270 Red Border Titus and 1906 Phillies team picture. Most of the rest of the cards, including the T206, are now long gone.

My hoard of Titus cards is stuck at 0.
