Unbelievable. And sad. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting this. I am planning a trip to the hall this summer. This just goes to show that people are afraid to stand up for anything today. They just want to keep things at the status quo, and are to afraid to do anything in these situations because they don't want to rock to boat and risk looking bad if the investigation doesn't turn out the way they want it. A lot of people are not worried about whats right anymore, they just ask the same question, how will it effect me if I speak up about this? Very sad indeed.

Very sad. Information like this would certainly keep me from donating anything to the HOF. If someone was going to make a profit from my priceless artifacts I'd rather it be a relative than a guy in a library with a briefcase making photocopies.

I found the Hauls of Shame Barry Halper top 100 list jaw dropping.

The list includes items stolen from the HOF, NYPL, & BPL.

Thus far, the thief seems to skate free while so many others lose including the donor, the HOF/Library, the auction house that may have unkowningly sold the item (bad press), and last, but not least, the collectors who spend significant money to grow their collection only to learn the item may be stolen property. The HOF's position on the thefts makes me feel less sorry for them and more compassionate for those who donated in trust that the cards & memorabilia would be well cared for.

A truely sad state of affairs.
