Two points

For the Boston Garter card we were competing with one of the country's most knowledge pre WWI type collectors. This gentleman has one of the very best collections in the country...and very few people know he is.He was the one who met the "teacher first" but gave up
By the way, the high school teacher bought the card for a dollar

Two, we wonder if David and JimVB were at a flee market and saw a genuine
1923 Yankee Stadium Opening Day program for say $100. Would Skidmore's esteemed Associate Physics professor say- sir this is worth $10,000 at auction- let me have it, and I'll turn it over to ROB LIFSON and ensure that you receive every nickel you are entitled to?

And if the Saint from Texas found some near mint T 206 Southern league players at a garage sale taking place because some 85 year old man
passed away, we are quite sure he would say let me get these graded, and then I will come back to you and pay you 90% of SMR

They must smoke some funny stuff at Skidmore and down Texas way, if they
think we did anything wrong.

Sounds like it is time for David and JimVB to get off their "high horses"
They have been kicked in the head once too often.

PS- Is it true that the two of you will have large signs at the National
that say bring me your cards and memorabilia first, so we can tell you how to obtain top retail value?

Need we say more?
