The concerns run in the other direction too:
17A. Disclosure Notice: The following lots have been consigned to this auction from the personal collection of SGC principal David Forman: 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 123, 224, 459, 460, 462, 468, 542, 1507. Mr. Forman purchased the cards in these lots in the open market at public auction, already graded, and this is the case with all SGC-graded cards Mr. Forman is selling from his personal collection in this auction. This disclosure is being made at his insistence (and with our blessing) to avoid even the potential appearance of impropriety.
