Jon CanfieldI don't know BCD at all and not trying to defend him, but I did notice that the letter dicusses finding the cards in 1993, and then selling the majority to a major dealer (I assume Rosen) and then Doug Allen acted as agent for selling the rest. In fact, the letter is dated 1995. Isn't it possible that BCD purchased some cards sometime between 1993 and 1995, or even after Allen started acting as agent? Maybe I'm wrong, but it appears from the checks that the purchaser only bought the 16 now up for auction. The other thing I find interesting, too, is that the letter is written and dated January of 1995, yet the checks for the 16 cards are dated May of 1995. I wonder who actually requested the letter be written? Was it Allen, or was it a different purchaser, and then a copy was given with each subsequent sale of the cards?
