Shill Bidding...right now the hobby's hottest topic. I debated doing the episode but my opinion is too strong and topic too important to not.  I share some personal experiences of me declining to partake in shill bids.

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.639
Robby Quick Hits delivering that breaking hobby news.

2
00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:08.320
Loaders.

3
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.880
You want to know those hot Josh's hardship shaff You've

4
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:14.320
got your.

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:29.039
Com her host John new Name, Welcome to another episode

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.359
of Hobby Quick Hits, and you know full disclosure.

7
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:40.320
I debated doing this topic on today's show. A couple

8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.280
of reasons why it's really the hot topic in the

9
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:48.039
hobby and sort of everyone and their mother's chimed in

10
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.240
on it, done content on it, or giving their opinion

11
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:58.200
on it as well. I have, you know too in

12
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.799
personal conversation, but I don't think I think I've really

13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.239
posted anything publicly, so one of the reasons I'm doing

14
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.079
the show. The other is, while the topic is not

15
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.920
a new phenomenon, if you will, it's became a hot

16
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.319
topic because you know, something that happened on someone I

17
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.120
consider a good friend show, and that's doctor James Beckett

18
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.239
who had Patrick Ryan on who you know shilling, which

19
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:35.239
is you know, bidding either on your own auction or

20
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.799
having someone you know been on your own auction to

21
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.760
drive the price up. That became a topic of discussion

22
00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:49.680
and both of those gentlemen you know, sort of condoned

23
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.159
or not you know in Patrick Ryan's case, he condoned it,

24
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.040
and I was a little surprised by Doctor Jim's take

25
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.879
where he really didn't and says, you know, kind of

26
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.959
justifies it in a way like with defensive I've heard,

27
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.319
you know, and not the first time I've heard that term,

28
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:12.039
but like defensive shill bidding, and if you haven't figured

29
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.400
out already, I'm I'm against shill bidding hill bidding. Now,

30
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.639
I'm not going to tell you it's it's gonna go

31
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.439
away or we can we can completely wipe it out.

32
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.960
I'm not that naive, right, But just because something is

33
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.199
going to exist no matter whether we like it or not,

34
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.400
doesn't mean we have to like it. And I don't

35
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.520
do it. I don't condone it, and I don't partake

36
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.039
in it. And I'm going to tackle that on this episode,

37
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.919
including some personal stories where I've been asked to do

38
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:54.120
as such and someone didn't like my answer, so I'll

39
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.360
save that for the main part of the show. So

40
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.599
that's what we're going to tackle on this episode and

41
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.039
deep dive it a little bit more than I did

42
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.759
here in the intro. We're going to go over the

43
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.599
new release schedule, some hobby news, and then we'll get

44
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.240
to show biddy.

45
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:17.199
Okay now a quick word from our great sponsor, followed

77
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.199
To day, Let's go round the hobby verse and catch

78
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.040
up on this week's hobby news.

79
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.800
And find out. All right, jam Right came out with

80
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.680
a new report and they have listed the most all

81
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.240
time graded cards. Any guesses to what the number one

82
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.480
graded card is of all time? All right? There are

83
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:58.000
you guessing? If you said the Ricky Henderson nineteen eighty

84
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.920
Tops Rookie Card, you would be correct. Sixty six thousand

85
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:08.120
of them at least that can be tracked have been graded.

86
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.959
So you said, Ricky Henderson nineteen eighty Tops, pat yourself

87
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:18.199
on the back. You are correct, all right, Tops Chrome

88
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.319
update coming out here in December will have two hundred

89
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.560
more major League debut patch cards in the product, with

90
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:35.480
James W. James Wood leading the names on that list,

91
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.800
but one hundred and ninety nine along with James Wood.

92
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.600
And you know, I know, I bang on Tops anytime

93
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.160
I can, or when I feel like they're you know,

94
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.480
not doing something right or good. And I should say

95
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.480
fanatics probably more than Tops, but the major league debut patches,

96
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.680
and now they're doing them in the other sports as well.

97
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.120
Just one of the probably greatest hobby ideas at least

98
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:09.079
in a long time and potentially ever. So two hundred

99
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.920
more will be hitting or at least have a chance

100
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.800
to hit the marketplace. We know some things don't see

101
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.680
the light of day, at least right away. So all right.

102
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.160
The World Series, right, not a fan of either team

103
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.600
of speaking of myself personally, but a great World Series.

104
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:29.480
Game seven, two extra inning games. That Game seven was

105
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.360
could have went either way by a hairline two home

106
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.680
runs if you watched it, two important Dodger home runs, right,

107
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.600
the big one to keep the Dodgers alive, Miguel Rojas

108
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.959
and Will Smith to win it later on. Those are

109
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.959
in a SCP auctions, here's the ironic thing, and those

110
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.240
are ongoing right now. So if you want to own

111
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.920
one of those or both, head over to se P auctions.

112
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.000
But they were caught by a father and son attending

113
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.000
the game, one by the father, one by the son,

114
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.040
and that family is going to be doing very well

115
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:18.279
financially when these auctions come to a close, So congrats

116
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.079
to them. They're going to have some of this all right.

117
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:31.240
Time for some court case. Justin Cornett, a investor in Collectible,

118
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.519
which is now defunct, actually won a judgment against Collectible

119
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:44.320
and the CEO Newman uh not or the own proprietor Newman,

120
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.840
no relation it's spelled. He spells an E U M

121
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:53.879
A N and I'm any w But he won a

122
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.360
judgment because he wants to know. You know, we all

123
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.919
if you, if you had any fun in that and

124
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.440
invested in any diffractionals, you did get your money that

125
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.159
you would due. But Justin Cornett wants to know where

126
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.639
the items right, where are all the items that you know,

127
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.000
investors put their money into. No one seems to know

128
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.159
or want to talk. You know, they were at the

129
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.919
PWCC vault. Then they went to a New York City

130
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.960
kind of showroom. But now no one, no one knows

131
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.480
where they are. They in Newman's house, no one knows.

132
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.919
So Justin Cornett took the company or the former company,

133
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.759
and Newman the court, and actually the judge decided in

134
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.120
his favor. So now h Newman hasked to disclose where

135
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.960
the items actually are and if they were sold, who

136
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.159
they were sold to, and for how much. If he refuses,

137
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.519
the court will appoint somebody to go in there and

138
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.639
get that information by any means possible. So, you know,

139
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.879
no shortage of court cases, hobby. Speaking of that, another one,

140
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:19.360
there's another one, right, wild Card suing Panini in court

141
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.559
for anti trust violations, and they're alleging that Panini went

142
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.279
to and kind of strong arm some of the big

143
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.639
wholesale distributors and really tried to just say, hey, if

144
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.320
you're like doing business with us, don't do any business

145
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.919
with wild Card, don't carry their products, don't distribute those products.

146
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.120
So that will go to court as well. Let's talk

147
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.200
about some auction. An auction item I talked about during

148
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.120
the new segment maybe a couple episodes back. Well, just

149
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.799
a really cool item in nineteen fifty one Bowman uncut sheet,

150
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.159
thirty six cards in all the high numbers and on

151
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.240
the edge of the Mickey Mantle Rookie, which had a

152
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.159
light crease in it, but other than that was actually

153
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:16.320
in pretty good shape. And so it's closed and it

154
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:21.759
brought two hundred and fifty two thousand dollars in it

155
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.440
from all from all reports, it's the only one that's

156
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:29.840
in existence. I thought that item would bring, frankly, a

157
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.320
little bit more. So you never know, we're seeing sort

158
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.120
of a I want to say, a market correction, but

159
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.519
we're seeing some of these bigger ticket items, if you will,

160
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.559
maybe not bringing what they're estimated to bring. I thought

161
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:49.320
this particular item would bring more money, but you know,

162
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.480
not that that you should scoff at, you know, a

163
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.960
quarter million dollars. I thought I had a chance to

164
00:11:55.679 --> 00:12:00.159
bring more. And one more auction item that's come in

165
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.679
the auction that's going to bring a lot of money.

166
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.720
It's going to Lelands. It's actually December sixth. It's the

167
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:17.120
Michael Jordan's home preseason debut ticket close to Chicago, not

168
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.799
in the arena, it was a high school gym. Not

169
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.039
only the ticket, but the winning better will get the

170
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.240
program to the game as well, So the winning better

171
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:32.279
gets the ticket in the program. The ticket is graded

172
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:39.000
ps A three and again a local Chicago high school

173
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:42.879
hosted the game. And from what we can tell, there's

174
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:49.960
only one surviving ticket to this Chicago area debut for

175
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:55.399
Michael Jordan. We all know Michael Jordan items will bring

176
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.360
a lot of money, so be interesting to see what

177
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.519
this ticket brings once the auction closes. So that's going

178
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:07.000
to wrap up the news segment and let's continue with

179
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:15.879
the show. And now, all right, let's talk about show bidding.

180
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.480
Let's start by defining it, right, What is it? And

181
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.639
this is my definition, but I think most will agree

182
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.559
it's it's accurate, right. Show bidding is the act of

183
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.080
bidding on your own item to drive the price up

184
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.799
that will cost someone else more money to acquire. Or

185
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.320
let's go further, let's expound upon that. It's not just you, right,

186
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.919
but I can call my friend up or talk to

187
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.399
my friend and give him the link and say hey,

188
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.200
this price isn't where I need it to be. At

189
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.200
bid on it drive the price up so someone else

190
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.559
comes over the top of you and places a higher bid,

191
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.879
hopefully to get me more money. And I get it.

192
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.919
It's America's free enterprise. You want to make Listen, I'm

193
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.360
a dealer. I want to make the most on my

194
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.600
cards as I can while giving people what I hopefully

195
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:13.639
are consider a fair price. Right, but this is artificially done.

196
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.799
Right when we think about an in person deal, right,

197
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.039
maybe I have a card mark for five hundred dollars.

198
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.879
Let's just use round numbers, and someone will come up

199
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.960
to the table and say, hey, what's the best you

200
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.000
can do, or say hey, I can give you four hundred, right,

201
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.759
and then it becomes a negotiation. Now I can't do

202
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.120
four hundred, how about we you know? How about four eighty?

203
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.519
Now I you know I can't do that. How about

204
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.039
four you know, four forty? And then maybe it comes

205
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.559
down to where somewhere I say like, hey, let's split

206
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.159
the split the difference four P fifty, meet in the

207
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.720
middlem and most of the time that does get it done.

208
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:55.200
Those type of negotiations, right, but it's two people it's

209
00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:59.080
it's on the surface where everyone you know, the people involved,

210
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:04.279
me and that perspective buyer, everything's out in the open, uh,

211
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:09.159
and very transparent, right, and auctions will never be one

212
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.720
hundred percent transparent, But there's no funny business going on

213
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.759
if you will. And I again, I get, I understand,

214
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.440
you know, wanting to get the most bang for your

215
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.039
buck or the most banged for your card in this case,

216
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.360
or cards, but you got to me, you got to

217
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.559
do it the right way as someone who's put cards

218
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.720
in auction houses, as someone's put cards on eBay and

219
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.440
others selling platforms. You know, you know, I just I

220
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.360
don't ask anyone other than someone who really wants to

221
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.879
buy the card to bid on it. I don't bid

222
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:51.720
on my own cards to drive the price up. Uh.

223
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.919
And it's just not it's not in my mo you know.

224
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.320
And does that make me better than someone else, I

225
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.840
don't know. It's not my place to put that designation

226
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.039
on myself. And let's let's uh, let's talk about why

227
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.720
this speacame again. This is not a new thing. Schill

228
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:13.279
bidding's been around for eons, right since probably auctions even

229
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:18.240
started quite frankly or close to it. Let's talk about

230
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.200
what what brought us back out into the limelight in

231
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.559
the forefront again. On Doctor James Beckett Sports Cards Insights

232
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:29.200
a great podcast and Doctor Jim I consider a friend

233
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.320
of mine and I believe he feels the same about me.

234
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.960
But you know, when you're friends with someone, right, doesn't

235
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.679
mean you have to agree with them across the board,

236
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:43.000
just like a marriage. Right. I love my wife, but

237
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.399
we don't agree on everything. Uh, And that's okay, that's okay.

238
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.519
We still love each other. And I still think Doctor

239
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.960
Beckett is a hobby icon on a recent two episodes,

240
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.440
Part one and two with a I guess I'll call

241
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:04.400
him an investor, a deal collector. Patrick Ryan from Houston, Texas,

242
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:09.039
and Doctor Jim knows them even before the appearance on

243
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:12.720
the show. You know, he had Patrick Ryan on, and

244
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.880
you know, Patrick Ryan basically got caught or kind of

245
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.599
incriminated himself with I guess an Instagram post. I don't

246
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.400
go on social media a ton, but you know, I

247
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:26.400
find out, like a lot of people do, like when

248
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.400
stuff breaks, right, I guess he posted a picture of

249
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.119
a Jordan card that he had been on and the

250
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.519
picture gave away that it was his own card in

251
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:41.839
an auction, and you know, I'll give him this much credit.

252
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:46.559
He didn't deny it, sort of explain why, in his words,

253
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.319
it happened, that he didn't realize it, that it was

254
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.000
an honest mistake. Doctor Jim, you know, had him on

255
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:54.799
the show. Now, I don't know if Doctor Jim had

256
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.480
him on the show because of that incident or it

257
00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:59.960
was planned. I'm assuming it was because of an incident,

258
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.720
because it became a heavy point of discussion on that show.

259
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.039
Patrick Ryan divulged that it was an honest mistake and

260
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:11.920
he didn't know. You know, I think it was a

261
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.119
twenty thousand dollars bid and he didn't know it was

262
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.960
his own item that he was bidding on. Now, only

263
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.960
Patrick Ryan knows for sure whether he's telling the truth

264
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.359
or lying. I'm going to give my opinion. I don't

265
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:29.440
believe them. Quite frankly, I don't believe. You know, I

266
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.400
have cards and auctions, I know, maybe not as many

267
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.519
as him, maybe not as expensive as him, but irregardless,

268
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.599
you know, regardless of that fact, I've never been on

269
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:45.039
my item by mistake. And if I'm bidding on items,

270
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.480
I know they're not mine, right, And so I don't

271
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.559
care how many auctions you have. I don't care how

272
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:54.160
many listenings you have. Quite frankly, I don't buy that.

273
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.880
And you know, again, only he knows for sure. But

274
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.000
let's start off there that I'm not I'm not drinking

275
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.559
the kool aid on like, hey, I didn't realize what

276
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.240
I was doing. My bad, I'm sorry. Uh. And if

277
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:13.160
I'm wrong, then i'm wrong. But again I'm not, I'm

278
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:16.680
not buying what he's selling there. And further on, I'm

279
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.240
gonna paraphrase. You know, go check out Doctor Jim Show,

280
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.680
not just those two episodes, but the whole catalog. They're

281
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.559
they're great. You can learn a lot of stuff. Even

282
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.839
an old dog like me, uh, learns a lot from

283
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:35.079
listening to Doctor Jim and or his guests. And you know,

284
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:39.279
to paraphrase the two episodes, right, it became where they

285
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:43.559
started talking about hill bidding and sort of condoning it.

286
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.119
And then it happens, you know, a term was used

287
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:51.279
which I've heard before, even before Doctor Jim Show, you know,

288
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:55.680
defensive shill bidding to hopefully get your price rather than

289
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.119
set like a reserve price, which people kind of frown

290
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.039
upon or don't like or ignore those type auctions. It's

291
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.839
a way to circumvent that sort of thing, and both

292
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.519
gentlemen sort of condoned it. Not sort of. I think

293
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:13.519
it was condoned, and that's where I get off at

294
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.640
a different exit. It's not not my thing, and I

295
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:20.880
think it's illegal. I'll go strong. I'll go strong with this.

296
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.119
I think it's an illegal tactic. I think it's sort

297
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:28.519
of like insider trading on Wall Street, where you let

298
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.799
someone else know some info that's not public and you

299
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:36.559
gain a monetary advantage to it, whether it's buying something

300
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.759
cheap that's about to go up or selling something that's

301
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.920
about to crash down, and you sort of get that

302
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:47.279
inside ahead of, ahead of schedule info. Right. I put

303
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.960
it in that same sort of category. And some may

304
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.200
not agree, and that's fine, that's you know, that's your opinion,

305
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.440
but that's that's mine. I think it's wrong. I think

306
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.279
it costs people money out of their wallets. And I

307
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.920
don't care whether you're a billionaire, a millionaire or a

308
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:10.200
middle class guy or person. Right, if it's costing you

309
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.880
more money, uh, it's uh, you know it's not right.

310
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.279
It's you know, we have laws against price fixing in

311
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:25.240
government with you know, obviously necessities and sometimes with pharmaceuticals

312
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:28.720
and food, food sources and that sort of thing when

313
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:33.599
there's a sort of something not right to to keep

314
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.160
a price too high. I think this again, is this

315
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.119
fits kind of into that vein that category. And you

316
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.279
know you list to me, you list a card for auction, uh,

317
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.359
and uh, that's it right. Let the buyers set the price,

318
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.559
not you, and I'll go far. You know, you definitely

319
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.200
should not be bending on your own stuff. Now, if

320
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.680
your buddy want really really wants your card, you know,

321
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.559
and they're bidding on it for them to buy it, like,

322
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.000
I can't argue that point. But if they're bidding because

323
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.359
in a conversation you say, hey man, this card's not

324
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.319
where I need it to be at or it's too low,

325
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.440
do me a favor, here's the link, and you know,

326
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.240
bid on it, bid it up to this level. I

327
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.359
think someone will come over the top with you, and

328
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.720
you know you're just sort of driving it up there.

329
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.480
And again, in that case, to me, that's artificial, that's

330
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:35.839
not it's disingenuous, it's not legitimate, and I can't condone it,

331
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.279
and I don't partaken it and I'll share a couple

332
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:42.200
of personal stories and think what you want. I'm gonna

333
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.480
be honest about it, and you can think what you

334
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.960
want to me. Less of me, more of me. That's

335
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.880
up to you, not my call, right, But I've had

336
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.799
you know, I've been in the hobby forty years. You

337
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.680
know I've done shows for thirty seven years. I did

338
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:01.480
my first show at fifteen. Now auction I're obviously more

339
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:06.720
prevalent now than many years ago. But eBay's been around

340
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.880
since the mid nineties early nineties. And you know, I've

341
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.920
been asked on more than one occasion from acquaintances and

342
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.920
friends that are in the hobby. Hey, John, need a favor.

343
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:20.480
I got an auction ending in the next couple of days.

344
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:23.880
Can you kind of low right now? Can you throw

345
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.079
a bid on it? And you know they didn't like

346
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:29.440
my answer when I get the few times I was

347
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:32.880
asked to partake in that, I said, no, I really

348
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:35.319
don't want to do that. What you know, or I'll

349
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.559
be honest with you. I'll ask what card it is

350
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:40.279
or what item it is? Now, if I have an interest,

351
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:43.079
I will tell them like I will bid. I will

352
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.559
bid what I would pay for it. Myself and nothing

353
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.519
less and nothing more. So I'll i've you know, I've

354
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.000
probably been asked five, six seven times to do such

355
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.519
a deed, and I probably only done it on two

356
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.839
or three occasions. But those two or three occasions were

357
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.960
because I wanted the item myself, and so I bid

358
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.880
a legitimate bid to try to win that that card

359
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.839
or lot where I wanted the item, not to drive

360
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.200
the price up to cost somebody else more money. Uh.

361
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.720
And on one of those occasions, if my memory serves

362
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:25.519
me correctly, I did win when the item and uh,

363
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.200
you know, the the person I knew was was a

364
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.440
little disappointed didn't go for more. Obviously, they honored the

365
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.039
sale and they get they it was saved because they

366
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:39.880
were local, so they didn't have to pay shipping to

367
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:44.079
deliver uh it to me, and so that that was

368
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.119
a perfect They didn't get necessarily what they wanted. But

369
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.720
on probably the other four or five occasions, if I

370
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:55.680
did not have any interest in that particular item, I declined,

371
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.000
you know, to to partake in. And I said, I really,

372
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.759
I don't have an interest to an item, and I

373
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.440
don't want to do that. It's kind of against my

374
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.079
morals and what I believe in to do to just

375
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:10.480
bid on something to cost somebody else some more money.

376
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.519
So I did not do it. And they're like really

377
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:15.960
you know this is them to me, like really, what

378
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.000
you know? Are you mad at me? I'm like, it

379
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.359
has nothing to do with you. I just don't want

380
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.759
to get involved. And that just goes against my fabric

381
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.759
and what I believe it. And you know, you do

382
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.799
what you got to do, but I'm not going to

383
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.960
I'll do that. And again I said in the intro, right,

384
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.640
I'm a person who's listed cards on auction houses auctions

385
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.279
I've never want and I'm being honestly, I've never once

386
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:50.559
asked someone to bid on an item for me. Now

387
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.759
I've posted an item, I've posted a link like publicly

388
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.279
on my social media. Hey check out this item I

389
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:01.880
have on the auction block right for anyone who's interested

390
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.119
or wants to bid. But I've never purposely emailed, called

391
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.319
in person, private message someone and said hey, do me

392
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.599
a solid here and bump this up. Any bumping up

393
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:19.000
was from legitimate bits. And maybe I'm naive, you know,

394
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.680
maybe I'm a fuddy doddy whatever term you want to

395
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.960
put it on, but I believe like the buyer, real

396
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.880
buyers set the price, not artificial buyers. And I'm gonna

397
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.960
you know, when my head hits the pillow at night.

398
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:36.079
For me, I got to feel like I did the

399
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:40.279
right thing that day in subsequent days, and you know,

400
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:43.039
is it? You know, having someone bid on your item

401
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:46.559
doesn't make you you know Charlie Manson or Adolf Hitler, right,

402
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.440
But I just it's not me. It's not something I

403
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.400
partake in. I don't contone condone. I believe it to

404
00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:00.720
be illegal, illegal tactics, you know, deceitful maneuver. If you will,

405
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.839
I do. And again you might have a different opinion.

406
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.279
You might have the same opinion. Maybe you're even stronger

407
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.240
than me that you know things should be done. You know,

408
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:13.640
people should get in real, real trouble uh and do

409
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:17.359
jail time. We've seen this with the with other incidents

410
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.640
in the past where you know people have been sentenced.

411
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:23.799
Now that's a bigger there's other tentacles uh to that

412
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.240
story as well. But you know, I wanted a weigh

413
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:29.759
in and why I don't like it, Why I don't

414
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.640
do it, rather than just say I don't like it, right,

415
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.119
why does it happen? I think that's a simple and

416
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:40.279
easy answer. Right, So someone gets more money, and again

417
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.039
that doesn't make them a bad person. We all want

418
00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:45.920
the most money. Right. Our boss gives us a raise,

419
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.799
we don't say, oh, thank you, but no thank you. Right,

420
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.319
we get a tip, maybe we you know, we say like, oh,

421
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:55.519
you don't have to do that, but we appreciate it. Right,

422
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.160
you know, anytime we can get more money, right, that's

423
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.839
that's a that's a plus. Right, That's how we pay

424
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.559
our bills, that's how we keep moving forward as a dealer.

425
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.200
When I do a show, right, I want to have

426
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.000
the best show I can have and do the best

427
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:13.599
I can do. And I don't apologize for that and

428
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:16.720
need no one else should either. But I just try

429
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.279
to do it the right way. So why does it happen?

430
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:23.640
It's simple, right, people want more money for their cards

431
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.000
and I get it, but I believe in doing it

432
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.759
the right ways. So we can talk about the problem. Right,

433
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.119
we're all talking about the problem where a lot of

434
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.119
us are talking about the problem. What are the solutions? Right? Well,

435
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.640
the simple fit fix is hopefully having the moral standard

436
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.359
not to do it. And if that's bold of me

437
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:46.359
to say, then I'll say it, but I just choose

438
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:48.359
not to do it because I don't think it's morally

439
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.559
and ethically right. And I'm sure a lot of people

440
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:55.839
maybe take up the same banner and don't partake in it. Right.

441
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.480
But anytime there's money involved, right, especially in the hobby,

442
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.079
but it's not just relegated to the hobby stock market,

443
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.799
any kind of other business or selling entity or other hobby. Right,

444
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.880
anytime there's money involved, people are going to find ways

445
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:15.400
to circumvent, whether it's illegal, towing that line of illegal

446
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.400
like maybe some people consider show bidding. People are going

447
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:26.000
to do it, whether it's stealing, forgery, fake slabs, fake cards, trimming, altering,

448
00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.680
shield bidding. If there's money to be made, someone's going

449
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.279
to try it. So it's not going to go away

450
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.319
on its own accord. People aren't going to wake up

451
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:39.799
one day who are doing it. Maybe some will, but

452
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:43.079
I don't think majority will wake up and say I'm

453
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:46.039
not doing this anymore. Really probably shouldn't be doing it.

454
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:48.000
So it's not going to go away like that. So

455
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:53.039
what are the solutions past that? Right? Past it healing itself? Well,

456
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.119
the owners falls on these auction houses and selling platform

457
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.160
and some of them probably do, but not all all

458
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.599
of them for sure. Because this is an ongoing issue,

459
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:07.640
the auction house has to set rules. You cannot bed

460
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.480
on your own stuff. Uh and if we and and

461
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:13.279
I think I gotta go further than that. They need

462
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:16.119
to track that stuff, whether it's through IP addresses. I'm

463
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:18.720
not an it guy, but there's there's gotta be ways

464
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:23.720
you can tell when someone's not placing legitimate bids. You

465
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.319
notice the trend, Why is the same guy bedding on

466
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:29.920
all of this same persons or you know, why is

467
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.240
the same person bidding on this other person's all their

468
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.680
auctions constantly? Seems pretty consistent. You know, it's just a

469
00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.319
red flag. Right, there's ways to figure this out, right,

470
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:48.720
you know, to eliminate friends or equaintances hopefully from doing it.

471
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.359
But even past the point of protocols, right, it's gotta

472
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.960
be more than that. There's gotta be penalties, right if

473
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.240
you are caught crossing this line or breaking this rule

474
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:06.079
or bidding on your own on your own items, you know,

475
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.920
just to drive the price if you if you're caught

476
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:13.119
or we flag you for doing that, there's a penalty.

477
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:16.839
What what's that penalty? You can never partake in our auction.

478
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:23.039
Your your IP address is banned. We we posted publicly

479
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:28.119
that this is something you did. Whatever those those penalties

480
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:33.079
and issues are right or whatever, the repercussions are, right,

481
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.759
There's gotta be repercussions otherwise nothing changes, right.

482
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.559
Uh.

483
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.000
Some people don't commit crimes because they don't want to

484
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:43.160
do the time. Others don't care, and they still do

485
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.119
it anyway and take their chances that they won't get caught.

486
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:50.680
But the penalties, you know, punishments are deterrens. And so

487
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:55.400
we need punishments and rules and protocols from these auction houses,

488
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.599
you know, and what what can we do? Uh? You know,

489
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.359
we feel like an auction house is just making it

490
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.480
like the wild wild West, or I say auction house,

491
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.119
but let's include selling platforms in there as well that

492
00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:12.240
run auctions, right, not every uh, you know, you're can

493
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.799
have auctions and not be an auction house. But what

494
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.079
can you do if you feel like a selling platform

495
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.720
or auction house does not have rules to uh sort

496
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.759
of uh you know, prevent that or you know, recommend

497
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:29.200
not doing that. You know, you know, dig your heels

498
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.039
and say I'm not going to do business. I'm not

499
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:35.039
going to bid UH and do business with that platform.

500
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.799
We can do that, right, I've done that with with

501
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.839
other entities for different reasons. Right, we have the power

502
00:32:43.279 --> 00:32:46.160
with our wallets and bank accounts if we so choose

503
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:50.480
to wield that wind of power. Many of us don't.

504
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:55.359
I try to and in certain you know, circumstances, in situations,

505
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.519
so we can. We can. We can initiate change right

506
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:04.440
by our actions. We can initiate change by being someone

507
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:08.599
who doesn't partake in that activity, even though we know

508
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.000
it's going on if we feel wrong. And that's that's

509
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:14.799
where I fall. I fall into that category. I don't

510
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.799
partake in it. I don't condone it, I don't think

511
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.640
it's right, and I don't do it. And so that's

512
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.200
that's me again, you know. And I just want to

513
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:28.359
close with this too. I don't. I'm not trying to

514
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:31.680
be an apologist or defend it. We're all entitled to

515
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.599
our opinion. I still love doctor Jim. Well. We might

516
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:39.079
fall on separate, you know, sides of the isle here.

517
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:43.759
I think he's a great guy, you know, who's a

518
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:47.480
hobby icon. I just don't I don't agree with him

519
00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:52.960
on this subject and topic. And you know shameless plug.

520
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.680
He's going to be on Hobby Hotline on November twenty second,

521
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:03.920
and I know this is going to be addressed. Uh,

522
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.119
and he'll expand about it. But no matter what he

523
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:12.280
says on that episode, you know, you know short of Hey,

524
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.000
I changed my mind or you know, I just I

525
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.559
don't believe in show bidding. I think it's wrong. I

526
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:21.159
think it should be illegal. I think it should be

527
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:25.079
frowned upon. But I don't think you know, I think

528
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.280
his body of work is too great to take one

529
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:34.800
thing we disagree on and judge someone on one one

530
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.280
line on him, right, so we get off at different exits.

531
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:41.320
But I still think doctor Tim is great. And if

532
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:43.960
you think it less of me for that, uh, then

533
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:47.360
so be it. But uh, I think that's enough on

534
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:48.119
show Bidding.

535
00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:48.719
Uh.

536
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:52.119
We covered it. I wanted to weigh in. There's my

537
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:56.199
