I always ask the question "why would a company that does a few hundred million a year in business cheat you out of $120?"

Heritage Auctions did over $700 MILLION last year! Does anyone really think that they would knowingly try and scam ANY of their customers out of a $100 baseball? Or even a $10,000 Baseball for that matter! SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

It seems to me that they may have a problem with the employee/s that heads their internet sports auctions. But to continue to bash them over and over again has gotten very, very, old.

I've never bid in a Heritage auction nor have I met any of their employees, but I would believe what Leon says of Chris Ivy and Heritage... "There is 0 doubt in my mind they will stand behind whatever they do."
Just to clarify a bit here,, assuming they did do $700 million, that is the entire company, not the sports memorabilia division. And that figure is probably the gross total sales of all their auctions, not their auction cut, not their net. Am I right King?
And I have never bid in a Heritage auction either and apparently will never be able to now.
