Jim,
I could show you examples of where you have asked other collectors to share information that was with another collector. Heck, you have asked me to share with you things that were private conversations. And I did do that, because I felt you needed to know. You mentioned this statement, "You think its morally right that if another major collector tells me something in confidence that I disclose it on the boards?"
I will answer your question. Yes, I do think it is morally wrong to discuss what a COLLECTOR specifically says to you in private and you share it on an open board. However, you could have answered the question this way," one of the MAJOR collectors told me that....."

My question is there a moral difference if it is a major collector vs. a lower level collector?

These reoccuring questions that you have for Doug Allen regarding things that you don't like about Mastro or their practices. Why not call them up and ask them face to face instead of calling them out on the mat every other week on an open forum? My collection is no where near yours and I certainly have lost a little confidence with PSA and some of the auction houses that I used to do business with. If I had invested the time and money into my collection like yours, I would feel like I am owed. I just don't think I would expect it on an open forum like you request.
