I agree 100% on the Matty book being handled wrong. We screwed up, plain and simple. The month before, I had my guys remove photos from a family scrapbook that depicted stadium shots from Ebbets Field. As per my instruction, they just cut them out with scissors, which was fine, in that instance. There were about a dozen burried between 200 or so unimportant family photos. I picked the Ebbets photo book up at The Chelsea Flea Market in NYC(Always some finds there) Unortuantley, when I presented the Matty book with the instructions to "remove the photos" to sell individually, I failed to inform them of the importance. Before I caught it, I saw they had removed them in the same fashion as the unimportant family scrapbook from two weeks before....snip, snip. My heart sank! I lost a lot of money and a lot of good photos were cut in half. It was in the name of profit, I make no appologies there. The photos should have been professionaly removed.
