Richard Wolffers Auction

Wolfers catalogs were amongst the most attractive in the hobby.
There were also a manageable number of lots.

We obtained well over $100,000 in items from Wolfers- most however,
came after the auction when the "buyers" disappeared. We attended a number of live auctions in SF.

In additional to some questionable financial practice as both a baseball guy and a stamp guy, Duane was close friends with another less than ethical guy by the name of Al Gore. He was behind Gore for President

Too bad he could not play by the rules- AUCTIONS were great, often held in SF hotels- good time great cards, "unreal prices"

Our reference to the man whose fantasies extended well beyond "inventing the internet" were factual not political. It is quite clear that Duane who had issues with the truth was working with a man who believed that infidelity
was not a crime. We have no issues with AG's politics- clearly he has a lot more important problems to address. We are sure he will "cross that bridge"
when he comes to it.

Meanwhile Wolffers catalogs were certainly A+- and we did add 14 pieces to our collection (10 after the auction) to America's Most Distinguished Memorabilia collection.

Have to admit that "cross that bridge" was pretty funny, in a very morbid way.

But as far as the catalogs being A+, there were far too many questionable items, and far too many bids that weren't real, to warrant such high marks. Sure, there were some very nice photos, scorecards, cards, etc., but just too many other issues to consider.

Yes Duane had many issues with what he was selling.
But I was not aware that infidelity is a crime.
Immoral yes, criminal??? Hardly.
And how could anyone call a catalog A+ when that catalog was littered with bogus items and the bidding was as fake as a $3 bill.
And I mean the catalog was littered, it made me scream.
And in the interests of full disclosure Duane was a customer of mine.
However, customers of mine would ask me about his catalog. I warned them continuously about it.
I believe Duane found this out and just stopped buying from me.

I had to Google Richard Wolfers Auctions and came across this old thread.
I was wondering, after reading it, what happened to Mr. Bruce Dorskind?

"Whilst" looking through their catalogs it was obvious to many that Wolfers inventory in their catalogs were "amongst" the most questionable inventory in the auction world.
Wow, I never thought I would use whilst and amongst in the same sentence on Net54 .
