Hilariously ironic that Pete Calderon was the one who had to answer to the legalized shilling question. Pete has some resume in this business.

Now it all makes sense why that green tinted Harrington's Earl Smith card had a few bids on it at above the $10,000 minimum.

I don't even think that Harrington sold. I heard the consignor got it back.

Barry, that is what I was getting at. It had several bids on it and didn't even sell for the super inflated price--how odd!
Why would somebody [not trying to falsely inflate the price of a $100-200 oddity] not take a bid of $13,000 or something for the card? Answer: None of the bids were legit!

Rhett- what I heard, and this baffles me, is that mid-auction the consignor decided he no longer wanted to sell it, asked for it back, and the house capitulated. I can't of course confirm that.
When I ran auctions if a consignor had asked for his material back while my auction was in progress I would have told him tough noogies (did I spell "noogies" correctly?).

I agree completely with Jim VB. With the so-called Heritage Rule 21 in play, it ceases to be an auction and becomes something else entirely. I'm not sure what, but as Elaine Benes once said, "Do I smell something? What am I, hard of smelling? Of *course* I smell something."

I actually asked this question on another board, but got no responses, so maybe I put it in the wrong board. After reading this thread, maybe I can ask this here:
The latest Legacy Rarities auction. I was the high bidder on the 1955 Bowman Football set at $1,150. I was bid #11. I was outbid with bid #12, but the bid is now $1,950. Why would the next bidder jump the bid in an $800 increment? Wouldn't he want to win the item as cheaply as possible?? I was just curious as to everyones' thoughts on this......
