Is the King barred from that auction? Or am I? Or both of us?

I suspect this may be the only auction house that still welcomes both of you. (Although B&L will probably accect you guys, now that I think of it.)

If there's one thing that auction houses detest, it's collectors who regularly bid (too) aggressively on items they want and always pay promptly.

The hand that writes the checks is OK. The sharp tongue is a deterrent.

Apparently. I've just yet to figure out how barring a person is supposed to silence their criticisms. But then again, I'm not a world-class marketer.

Did I read correctly that they have a newly discovered Red Stocking Cigar Radbourne? That makes a grand total of two, right?

Look, certain auction houses got caught cheating and instead of taking responsibility for their actions they shot the messengers. Unfortunately, the messengers also spend a lot of money at their auctions.

Btw, how would you like to have been the consignor of the Hal Chase M110 that just ended in Legendary? It was a PSA 3 and it went for $3800. In 2008 and 2007, the same card in SGC 30 went for $7600 and $7050. So Legendary sold the card in a grade higher for half the money. I can guarantee you that had I not been banned I would have bid that PSA 3 card up to 10K (or at least Doug Allen would have run me up to 10K). Think that consignor is happy with his result? Maybe he can ask Doug what happened at the Net 54 dinner at the National this summer (presuming Doug's bellyache heard 'round the world is not a yearly, first week of August occurrence).

Your post is rife with inaccuracy! Last year, the dinner was in July! (July 30th to be precise.)
