Duane Garrett was the owner and a political talk show host in SF. Jumped off the bridge ahead with a lot of debt.
Sadly, those auctions at least in the jersey world, contained a mix of things which were good and bad. The higher value you got to, the more likely you were looking at something which had issues. I got a list of prices for most of the auctions and what is clear is that even back then, some of the questionable jerseys never sold and just showed up again and again the catalogs.
At least as far as jerseys go, today the buyer has some chance as there are forums, photos, and people with knowledge.
