Not real surprising with Al. Stand up guy and great auction house over the recent few years.

I wasnt surprised about this coming from LOTG.
Will other auction houses implement similar policies? Last edited by ruth-gehrig; 06-08-2019 at 09:41 PM. |

I hope all auction houses follow suit. It’s sad they have to do this, but I think it’s necessary given the recent Issues

I hope you are right but I think many of them are outlets for card doctors. I don't think they could truthfully take this pledge. It would not surprise me if Gary already has lined up other outlets.

I met Al on a bus ride from the Chicago Sportscard convention (might have been a National) probably 15 years ago, and within a few dozen words knew the kind of man he is.
Since then only spoken a few times here and there electronically (he remembered our short meeting nearly 10 years after..) but told him a while back that if I ever let go of my collection, he'd be the guy I wanted to bring it to Auction. Well, finally made that rather difficult decision and LOTG will reintroduce some things I've really enjoyed over very many years to the marketplace. A man's word is his bond and Al walks through life that way. Only knows one way and will work VERY hard to make LOTG a place collectors can feel great going about what they love to do. The above statement he's made takes a confident step in that direction. |

Guys like Al give the hobby hope to survive. Met him several times. Always took the time out to chat.
Nice going, Al!!! |
