Daryl, To me, it does not matter if the item is his consignment. A GOOD auction needs all the help it can get communication-wise. IF I was not on Memory Lane's mailing list to get their catalog, and IF I was a Jackie Robinson connoisseur, I would for sure want to know about it, so I could register to bid.
There is absolutely positively nothing wrong with trying to drum up potential business for your own cause. The exception of course is shill bidding, but that's not a part of my point here.
Knowing the pathetic cynicism rampant in our hobby, I am not the consignor. --- Brian Powell
