Yeah, this is no shocker, but at least somebody is actually covering it. If it goes anywhere, I'd be surprised, but pleasantly so.
I don't know how many calls I've fielded from people "I picked up a signed Muhammad Ali display piece in a charity auction, cruise ship auction, casino gift shop, etc...., etc.., etc.........how much is it worth, and what would you give me for it".
It's already a red flag for me, and then they tell me........."but it has a COA from one of the usual suspects".
I really hate to give out bad news, and I try to be civil, but people hate to hear they've been duped, and I usually think they're more upset at me, then they are the people that duped them. "But the COA..........." I hear a lot of.
