Jay MillerAn old topic but one that probably deserves to be revisited. I just received my latest edition of SCD today and inside was the catalog for American Memorabilia's (AM) latest auction. In this auction are four featured lots of Goodwin & Co "proofs". I'm surprised that after all the research done by Rob Lifson that these folks still claim that these items are vintage. They have brought in an authenticator from a place called "100% Authentic" who claims that these pieces are, in fact, period. Does anyone know who this fellow (Mike Peterson) is? Interestingly enough SCD has also chosen to put a full page picture of one of the proofs on its front cover. Since bidders had an opportunity to bid on similar items in REA and, for the most part, chose not to I'm also wondering how board members think these pieces will be received in the AM auction.
