don fluckingerOne collector and a German dealer are advocating we delete the Type 4 of the 1932 (or '33, depending on who you believe) Sanellas, on the basis that Type 1 and Type 4s are the same thing.
(I had previously posted information about SGC that was wrong; I misread this collector's email)
In fact, this collector challenges anyone to produce a Type 1 (centered "Sanella" without the "83") because he is certain there is no such thing, and that Type 4 was invented out of some logical supposition that there had to be 4 variations and that no one actually has seen all 4 variations side by side together.
He goes on to claim that anyone who has a Type 1 slabbed by PSA has the "83" and according to PSA's definition is mislabeled and if you sent it in to PSA they'd reslab it a Type 4.
Can anyone verify that there are 4 variations?
Anyone inclined to agree with this gentleman?
I am going to post his whole email and pix illustrating this whole thing on the http://standardcatalog.wordpress.com> blog in a little bit--it'll take me a bit of time, as he presents a long, compelling argument.
Thanks
Don
