I totally agree with you also that this whole back-end sale with Mathis just makes little sense, and still seems sketchy to me on some level, I just don't know what it is. And your observation/question about why after seeing how well Heritage did with the initial batch of BSF cards, why didn't the rest of the family trust Heritage with the rest of the cards from the Find then? That is a great question, and based on what I've been hearing, the fact that the family didn't go that route makes no sense at all. I know that family politics, especially when you're talking about inheritances and money, can be unbelievably complex and insane. We'll probably never learn all the facts and details behind this family and how they ultimately divvied up and cashed in on their inheritance. What I would love to know though is if any of the cousins that decided to keep their share of the E98 cards may still have those cards in their possession. Would be interesting to talk with that person(s) as to the reasons and thinking behind what they did then, and maybe what they are still thinking of doing with those cards. LOL

Lots of questions and there are answers but I doubt we will ever get them. Just a guess but if HA took the position that lead us all to believe that what they graded was the entire find, I could see how it might not be a great move to then accept the other half of the deal 7 years later. Or that they did not know there was another half and turned down the consignment but then why not go to another house.
Does anyone know what the 750 cards grossed out of Heritage over the years? I know that there were dozens of Cobbs and Wagners from the back half and if I am not mistaken Mathis got a PSA 10 on each with plenty of 9s and 8s.
