"The only reason you wouldn't applaud him is if you are on the other side of the issue, imo."
C'mon Leon, you know me better than that, or at least I thought you would. I hope you aren't implying that I (or anyone else Freddy has called out like Corey, Barry, etc.) am on the side of thieves. I wholeheartedly agree that finding stolen material is for the good of the hobby.
That being said, I don't agree with the tactic of throwing items that are "allegedly" stolen or where there is NO PROOF of having come from the NYPL and possibly tainting an item that is fine is the way to go about this. If I was the owner of the Harry Wright Randall cabinet pictured above, and it didn't come from the Spalding collection, I would be really bothered by this type of thread. Seems like a bit of a witch hunt.
