I don't have a real issue with it. Starting an auction at 9.99 with a hidden reserve of $500 seems indistinguishable from starting the auction at $500. Either way, you can't win the card unless you bid $500; does it matter if you know it or not? I would be more concerned about not knowing who the consignor is, because many of the items in major auctions come (in my opinion, of course) from card doctors.

Bidding on your own items isn't allowed in most places.
It's clearly shilling, and really shouldn't be allowed. Ebay has a way of adding a reserve and for an expensive item it really doesn't cost much. Steve B
