Funky Exhibit Auctions

[Archive]

Posted By: Scott Mt. Joy

Hi all,

I have been watching a couple exhibit auctions and I'm not sure they are on the up and up, wanted to see what you all thought. It looks to me like shilling with 2 accounts, esp since one is private, same two bidding on them all. The odd thing is he is doing it on a bunch that have reserves???? I have an interest in a couple of the cards but my gut tells me to avoid. What do you think?? Just dont want to go crazy, hate to miss on something I want/need but dont want to get suckered in for a too high price because of shilling. Here are a couple of the auctions (you can search 1922 exhibits and get the full list of about 20 cards, has a lot more other years too)-
