Judge DredThe publicity this issue gets will definitely benefit the auction bottom line if public perception agrees that Leland's in doing the right thing. The final realized prices on the items wont amount to much and Josh is a pretty bright guy. I'm betting that he'll pull the items off the block. It's not like there's a lot of commission to be made.
I know this sounds stupid but what kind of proof/provenance is being provided with these items?
I'm curious, if the Clemente family didn't say anything about the items up for auction would anyone have criticized the sale of these items?
