Prices on cards like high end Rose Ryan and Koufaxes doubling or tripling within weeks. Shill bidding galore on ebay. PWCC promising bidding reform but blatantly ignoring its own promises.

Even Brent essentially admitted there was a group of guys trying to "push" the market. Look for threads by or about Courtney DeLorme (now deceased).
