I was very pleased to get a full LOA from Lipset, as noted above. Regardless of one's views on TPAs in general, I appreciated the effort to give the customer the benefit. Also kinda sad that I was pleased to get what every AH should be giving me without equivocation when I buy an expensive autograph.

One thing my wife often says about gifts applies to ALOAs: Don't give me a project as a gift; it isn't. Getting the 'privilege' of sending an item to a TPA for a fee is not a gift...
