you are wrong on this one, counselor
Jeff, while I often enjoy your wit and especially your opinions (I happen to concur 100%) about Mastro/Legendary and their fiascos--I can't think of a better word at the moment ---I think you are sadly mistaken about Bill Goodwin and you seem to love to bash him any time there is a thread about him or auction houses in general. As I mentioned earlier, I have had several substantial consignments and NEVER had a problem at all with Bill. I have not met a collector who has ever had a transaction in which Bill's honesty ever came into question.
While you and many others on the forum are far more knowledgeable about vintage cards and this hobby than I will ever be, while y'all have access to every auction catalogue since the Fall of the Roman Empire and a collective memory to shame that of the proverbial elephant, you are also WRONG every so often--case in point--a couple of years ago, many of you(I believe you were one) bashed to hell Memory Lane and Buddy Mason in regards to an M116 consignment, with accusations of unsold cards,shill bidding and reholdering the same cards to get new cert #'s...to make a long story short--and I believe that thread broke the record for # of responses-Buddy Mason had dupes of many cards in the same high grades and they were not shill bid --I bought many of them privately from him and some in Memory Lane--I do not in all honesty remember all the details but do know that many of the accusations were not true based on my own purchases in person with him and in the auction.
I bring this up only because I think some of the attacks on Bill Goodwin are unfounded and if you judge the whole of a person , I think his auctions and actions are far more ethical than you make him out to be.
regards to all!!! bill latzko
