what about the consignors who want people to bid..im sure they would want people to know..

i remember having a discussion about a 1952 mantle at a major auction house...people agree you cant really out that card as everyone knows about whatever auction its at

I believe it's more outing a particular card that some members don't like, especially if the feel it could fly under the radar. I don't really care because most if the cards I'm looking for are going to be noticed no matter what site they're on.

Some will say about unwritten rules: "They are unwritten for a reason: Because they aren't rules."
