To be accurate, a number of people on this Board have raised concerns about conflicts of interest and disclosure policies with regard to authenticators consigning their own items, and well before Vikes starting posting at least under that name. Also my recollection was that Vikes' focus at least initially was on Bushing's Masters' degree of lack thereof. I give credit to Vikes for stimulating some interesting discussions, but I think credit for raising the issues is due to many people and ultimately credit goes to Robert Edwards Auctions for amending its policies.
