Doc Emailed me today about Goodwin not following through with the settlement.

Doc is how I met Bill Goodwin. Doc had sold cards with him for maybe close to 20 years, this latest consignment wasn't a "first time" "unvetted" transaction. Years back I sold an N172 Delehanty in nice shape through Bill. And then later a T210 Stengel. I trusted Bill from this, along with knowing Doc had trust in Bill from past significant transactions. I met up with Doc that day Bill picked up the most recently consigned cards, to get a card Doc wanted to give me, and to show Doc a backstamped T206 card that I'd just received. The backstamp has Doc's name and Lexington, Ky address from back when he was a kid, buying and selling cards through the mail, with guys who were in the ballcard Olympus of that time.

I hope Doc's attorneys recover what's owed on that settlement note.

Thanks for the perspective Frank
