Is this "buyers group" the one that manipulated the market a few years ago?

A group of people that run up the prices on certain cards to insane prices. Then they sold theirs for way more than they were really worth. They also rarely if ever paid for the cards they used to inflate the prices.

It happens all the time and is easy to do. Just they went way overboard compared to how it is usually done. I refer to it as pump and dump.

The "buyers group" was a name given to the unnamed 5-20 buyers who scooped up a bunch of 1950s-60s Hall of Fame rookie cards in high grades intending to spike the market.

Here are some threads:

I think I named them the "buying group" actually.

I heard a handful came from a retirement home in Florida who fronted some capital to get it all started.
