Another week, some more hobby craziness.
If the failed launch of Probstein's new auction wasn't bad enough, this forum thread highlights some alleged serious issues with user info and shill bidding.
Not surprising to see Kevin Burge mixed in with all those Probstein accounts.

I’ve been following this a bit. At first I thought some of those accounts looked to have been test accounts, which would be fine since the platform is new and in beta. But now it’s looking like they may have actually bid on live auctions, not so good.. lol
I’m not sure how he’d even come back from something like this. The shill accusations could likely be denied and swept under the rug, as is commonplace in this hobby. But the data breach exposing sensitive customer info is a whole other can of worms.
I signed up for an account to check it out. I purposefully linked that to an email account I use for hobby stuff only, not a personal account. I never entered cc info. Thank god..
Always looking for high end Nuggets cards, current players and Rare 90's/00's!
