Comic Book Auctions are a Scam?

In this video I delve deep into the mysterious surroundings of comic book auctions, discuss shill bidding, and take note on how interconnected everything (and everyone) is in the hobby! Are comic book auctions becoming too ridiculous to handle? A big, special thank you to ‪@GoCollect‬for reaching out to me to work with their Collectible Price Index (CPI)! The information available through it was absolutely critical for this video to happen!
