Steve- that's my question. It seems silly that one would have checklist rights to those cards, but I wonder if there is some fine distinction involved. Many collectors choose not to share finds and deliberately leave them off checklists.

A board member recently revealed that he had G & B's of Al Spalding and Al Reach, and these were both previously unknown and extremely significant. He actually showed them to me about ten years ago, and requested my confidentiality. He eventually decided to share them with the collecting public, and both are arguably unique. Does he have any special rights to them? Maybe not, but I'm sure there is a legal point here.
