[Wymers Auction]

I feel you are part of the problem whether you are buying good or bad. You are aware that they are crooked and you frequent their sales. I agree with the other post that you know all of the answers to your questions. If it makes you uncomfortable and you have to ask if it is right to bid or not you guessed it that is because it is wrong. Auctioneers that sell these items on a regular basis have heard from many that they are passing fakes and common sense tells them that consignors with endless supplies of Mantle, Ruth, Cobb, Dimaggio, and Williams are suspect at best. If they are operating with an auctioneers license please contact the licensing agency for their state. If they are merely an online auction company with no auctioneers license contact the local police and start there. I do not feel you are very sincere about turning them in though. These auction houses that routinely sell these items are aware they are fake and do not care. I have went through many of the same experiences as Jim has with trying to point auction houses in the right direction with many of the same results. We have however made a few reconsider what they are doing that were honest and even were partly instrumental in an online platform adopting policies for these items. Oh, and about the "Gems" they sell cheaply because others have chosen to do the right thing. Take it or leave it, it is only advice.
