But I get it - he's excited.
Most of the items are from that big collection, is my understanding. Maybe that original collection person got it there? I don't know. But, I said the same thing as for going gangbusters with stuff he seemingly knows little about. The term I used was "reckless abandon". He knows his niche well, I believe, but not this particular stuff. I am led to believe he is much more of an autograph guy....(yikes) ...I wish this was the biggest issue facing the board ....
