Living in Louisville and having some connections around, I've heard about a number of things involving Rex Bradley and others and many of the larger auction houses (few are immune.....). Clandestine sales of bats, documents, etc.....large sums of money changing hands for items sold not only in auctions but also behind the scenes to collectors. Guess the exponential growth of this stuff in the 1980's/1990's enabled some folks out there who might have engaged in some less than 'honorable' business practices. Unfortunately for H&B, their lack of control of their own 'treasures' cost them dearly.........
