Default Very Sad! - Lionel Carter auction story

Posted By: D. C. Markel

First off, it is tragic that anyone has to live in fear of being robbed - especially senior citizens.

As someone mentioned earlier, there was another opinion and that was living in a highly secure, retirement community or high-rise. I have friends and relatives who live in both and someone would really have to get around a lot of security measures to rob someone.

However, I have to question his judgment by coming forward and identifying himself as someone who is selling a major sportscard collection (see page 468 of the recent Mastro Catalogue) plus all of the recent press coverage and personal interviews of the sale. He's now a multi-millionaire celebrity. If he doesn't want to be bothered by criminals and unscrupulous people, he sure is going about it in a very strange way. Sorry for the cynicism.
