My thoughts exactly, Memory Lane, Heritage Auctions, REA send out some amazing catalogs, many I keep for reference material. 20% for a front and back scan and an often recycled card description, that is a rip-off and they’ll likely lose consignments. I’m seeing Heritage pick up market share lately on vintage. Anyone else noticing that trend?
