Based on some recent events, e-mails and phone calls, I am giving this some serious thought. In all likelyhood, I would contact some of the auction houses and offer my services only for baseball uniforms.
It would have to be understood that:
1. I am not a dealer and will not consign any item to any auction house while I am working in this capacity.
2. That all letters I produce will include my working notes and a final letter of opinion in which all referecnes used will be stated.
3. That I would have to be provided with a list of items to be looked at at least two weeks in advance of the trip so I can do advanced research and gather references.
4. Fees for services will have nothing to do with the value or price of the item in question.
5. If the auction house has retained another individual or service to look at the same item, I do not want to know what there opinion was before I do my work.
Would be curious on what your thoughts would be on this issue..
