I always got the sense he was a guy who was determined to corner the photo market, but didn't have much of a clue to what he was actually selling.........or if he did, he was real good at finding other whales who didn't know what a restrike was, and passing them off to them as originals, hoping they would get buried in collections.
Yes to all the above. Also.. Josh has no clue the extent but he wants everyone to think he does.
