Default Leland's catalogue came. I guess everyone who puts out a catalogue

More collectables, fewer cards...their ignorance about some of the things they auction is unsrpassed--which doesn't keep it from being good. Less really vintage stuff. More variety in sports (there are, for instance, some C55s--T206 era hockey cards), a bunch of attractive Joe Louis boxing trunks, a section on John L. Sullivan, a number of Mullin original art pieces--but not the very best Mullin. Probably more individual things--as opposed to expensive groups--than Mastro (with whom I've been comparing them all the time).
Incredable horror stories about shill bidding, sudden withdrawls, side deals, etc. I've never experienced these...

I have in the past bought great things from them--but you gotta have your own microscope (hm. just bought one of those for a Mastro winning...). I.E: you have to know your stuff, because they don't always.
