Nowhere as compelling a story as I have no idea the difference between a town in Rhode Island and a word that has had a consistent definition for a few thousand years old. Run with it. Funny stuff.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I ran auctions for a living I’d probably avoid going out of my way to make stupid jokes at the expense of other board members. Particularly people who have bought from me in the past. But hey, that’s me.

In real estate there are the three "L's" -- location, location, location.
In memorabilia, there are the thee "P's -- provenance, provenance, provenance. I don't care how well something passes a "photo match" test or a "look-right" test. With memorabilia now in 7-figure territory, counterfeiters have taken their craft to a level that IMO can fool even the best authenticators. If the provenance is not there, then forensic examination is the next choice. Without one of these two, I wouldn't touch any "too-good-to-be-true" item of memorabilia.

Sometimes provenance shows that an item has been around for a long time, which is in and of itself helpful information. Obviously, at the least rules it out as a recent creation. Last edited by drcy; 07-09-2019 at 01:27 AM.

That being said, I'm a person, not a faceless monolith. If you have a problem I will address it. I will also occasionally put my foot in my mouth, think something is funny that others don't, and call things as I see them. May not always be the best business practice, but you'll never have to question my honesty or integrity.
