The current Huggins & Scott Auction includes the below item which, based on the item's condition evident in the scans provided, I am nearly 100% sure that I owned at one time. I bought it off of the internet believing it was authentic. Once I had it in hand, I was quite concerned that it was not an original. Thus I submitted it to PSA/DNA for their photo review service and my fears were confirmed. I ended up listing it for sale on e-bay as a reproduction for $15.00 and lost several hundred dollars on the item.
Upon viewing the Huggins & Scott Auction preview online, I immediately called and spoke to Bill Huggins and let him know my thoughts and background on the piece. Bill thanked me and indicated that he would check further into it.
Now, with the auction live and only one week to go, I see that the item has not been withdrawn. Thus, I just want to give my Net 54 friends fair warning on this item. Here is a link to the auction lot:
