Personally I feel that Rick Probstein and PWCC have the greatest anti-shilling defenses of any sports memorabilia auction house in the known universe. You can see who you're bidding against, how many bids this person has placed and how frequently he has retracted his bid! Do you honestly think no one shills REA auctions? or Heritage auctions? or any other auctions?
I dare you to find an auction house with better shilling safe guards than Rick and PWCC.
Rick gets singled out because the shill bidders are in plain site. Would you prefer an auction house that hides the shillers or one that lets you determine the auction's integrity before bidding?
