Ryan ChristoffHal,
I'm really hoping not to drag any of the auction houses into this, but I'll try to briefly explain what happened without going into too much detail.
I won the cards (that I just received) from a different auction house. Not Leland's. Leland's only enters the equation because I knew that Sergio was a bidder there, as well as other auctions. Knowing how Sergio does business with this one auction house, I figured he probably did the same thing with all of the others, without any of them knowing about the other. I mentioned to Leland's how Sergio was handling the situation with me as a cautionary tale in case he might owe them as well.
I can't say who decided what or how the next few steps happened, but you got some cards, and they got paid for them, so it was win-win.
All of these things are just examples of Sergio sleeping in the bed he made for himself.
