Aaron"The AUCTION HOUSE is the one that determines whether this is disclosed or not."
I don't agree with that. SCDA could choose to stop consigning to auction houses (like Mastro) that refuse to list a conflict of interest in the item description. Alternately, they could refuse to offer their authentication services. I think if they were to present these option to an auction house, the house would rather agree with SCDA than lose their business.
"How SCDA continuing to do this. The Farve jersey in question clearly states that someone has an interest in it? Please point out where they are not disclosing anything? And I will say this once again in hopes that it might just sink in, if it's from an auction house, it is up to the AUCTION HOUSE to disclose this information."
In this instance Vintage Authentics scanned the LOA which revealed that Troy lied about SCDA's stated policy of not using SCDA LOA's when selling their own material. However, in last month's Mastro Collector Classic and Hunt Auctions, no such images were made available, so if SCDA consigned any material to either of those auctions, then the practice continues.
Thus the statement: "SCDA continues to practice undisclosed conflict of interest" is still, unfortunately, correct.
Jay, I am truly astounded to the levels you are willing to argue to prove that you were not manipulated. I believe as far as you are concerned this is no longer about SCDA and Mastro, but whether you were made to look foolish and you're unwillingness to accept that.
