I have to word this response very carefully. I too have lost a lot of respect for Heritage during the last couple of years.
I was concerned about one of their consigments in an auction this year and I mentioned to them I wanted to discuss this item on this board. I was told that if I did this, I was opening myself up to a lawsuit for liable. I won't go into the details of this situation but I was warned not to discuss this matter. So I never posted my concerns on this board.
Furthermore, a couple of years ago, I tried to purchase an item from the family of an old-time ball player. I thought we had a done deal but the family decided to sell the item to Heritage. It wound up in their catalog without any disclosure that it was owned by them.
