I have an outside the courtroom update on this matter. One of the lots pulled from the Lelands auction because of this dispute was Tom Seaver's 1966 contract with Topps. I noticed that the same item very recently sold in Hunt's live auction. That was a pretty quick turnaround for the consignor to get the item to Hunt's. And I wonder if there was any disclosure to Hunt's about the dispute over this item. Or has Lelands agreed that it does not have the exclusive right to sell the items it pulled from its auction?
