I am not starting any rumor or false accusations here. I simply am stating what I just heard. I just got off the phone with a long time collector and he indicated that federal investigators served a couple of large auction houses whom I will not mention as well as a president of a large authentication company at the National in regards to shill bidding and other things related to the collecting hobby. Details were obviously sketchy at this point if even true. Did anyone out there witness anything if at the Chicago show or have any knowledge in regards to if something like this indeed might have happened?
If so--thanks for sharing if you are able to. If true, it is just another black eye for the hobby and will do no one any good regardless of what area you collect in. I hope it is only a rumor and not fact. Comments welcome on this subject. I believe shill bidding has been discussed in the past on the forum. Thanks for sharing anything you might know.
