davidcyclebackI assumed it was Rich-- the Columbia, Leon, Dallas connection pretty much narrowed it down. Didn't mean to cause big trouble.
Actually, at sale, saying the items come from the collection of a former Beckett editor (or 'national sports magazine editor' to be more anonymous) and Columbia grad would only serve to help sales. At least mention that they are from the collection of a Columbia alum. This is for the same reason that a seller would mention a U of Iowa photo album came from a Iowa City family or an ultra rare SMU football pennants set came from the collection of a SMU Professor. Bidders like to know there is regional provenance to the regional material-- at best it adds credence to the authenticity, and at least it adds regional color.
