Perhaps Connelly, the auctioneer, doesn't know that playing the race card is an opening gambit -- a ploy to gain advantage -- not a social commentary. But O'Keefe himself, whom Dan Bretta says is "reading this thread" should know better.

By the same token, it's hard to understand how O'Keeffe, who Barry reports "is doing a book on the T206 Wagner," wouldn't know in a heartbeat that the Cobb-Edwards card is a reprint.

O'Keeffe's failure to set out the facts about the reprint, and his deliberate obfuscation of the (nonexistent) role of race here on the Forum is indefensible and inexcusble -- even for a would-be New York author craving publicity.
