Legendary Response
Thought I would take a minute and provide a response to the shockingly lopsided journalism utilized in O'Keefe's story that appeared in today's Post. amazing I provided these details last night after being given a last minute chance for rebuttal but he chose not to include my side of the story....I am sure there was no intent!
I will speak to the Legendary Auction side of this.
All charges against Legendary Auctions and me personally were dropped. No compensation was paid or would ever have been paid to Dave Forman.
Since the liquidation of Mastro Auctions I safeguarded a trimmed and altered Babe Ruth Goudey card (as validated by letter from PSA who confirmed that this card had been cut from a sheet and did not have the attributes of a factory cut card) that Dave Forman had attempted to consign to Mastro to help extinguish a liability. Last week Attorneys for Mastro auctions requested the return of this card. I never owned or claimed to own this card and returned it as a result of this request. As for Formans claim that this is card has a value of $150,000 I just hope it doesn't end up in an SGC holder. I have utmost respect for Derek Grady and his team and will forward him an image of this card so they will know the origins.
If anyone has additional questions I would be happy to respond via email which is
