EvanNet54ers,
I'm sure you've all been on pins and needles wondering what I was going to do. After speaking with the consigner,(a real nice guy, very forthcoming), the auction house, (one of the good ones imo), and the authenticating companies, I have decided to pass on the item. As previously stated ad nauseum, I collect for the pleasure of it. Whether the item is real or not, I would never be able to look at it without a tinge of doubt, therefore I could not enjoy it. I wish to thank all of you who chimed in with advice and guidance, and to those who took the time to email me privately. Leon, I also appreciate you allowing me to go O/T and use the board for my issue. BTW Mr Lichtman, I recently moved to Rockaway NY from Brooklyn and have started collecting some nice shells. I will be sending them to CM for authenticating.
