Appreciate your views a lot. I stand by mine. We all offer opinions on stuff that we sell. And most of you guys know more than I do. But none of you move the market. If I had to succinctly state my opinion it would be this:
If someone is broadly recognized as an expert in authenticating or grading collectibles, there is at least the appearance of a potential conflict of interest where they authenticate/grade items they personally own and plan to offer for sale. It's not a great practice. Regardless of how upstanding the person is.
