Renowned Photo Auctioneer Henry Yee to Partner with Rogers Photo Archive

[Leon]

I am honored to help announce this new partnership of Henry Yee and Rogers Photo Archive. Both John and Henry are hobby friends and I certainly wish them the best. It's an exciting time in the photo hobby.

I love Henry and have nothing but good things to say about him and wish him the the absolute best of luck in ANYTHING he does. As for the author of the press release, interesting timing to announce a partnership that has existed for over six months and pretty classless but that is just my opinion.

Best of luck to Henry, he is a hobby friend and a great guy!

Heh...great, now I'll pay three times as much as I was paying for my photos from John Rogers.

I'm a bit lost on this part. Who is the author of the press release (not seeing a byline) and why is he classless to announce it 6 months later?

Because the author indirectly references Rhys's classification system

Not so much indirectly as straight forward calling Rhys' system "clearly less accurate and far inferior." While the pros and cons of any system(s) are debatable, it's a little cheesey to come out with these comments right as Rhys' auction is about to go off.
For the record, I like parts of each system and have nothing negative to say about Henry, Rhys, or Rogers. I have had a couple dealings with each and have never had a problem or issue.
I wish them all well in their individual ventures.

I think the quotes in the article were harsh. The so-called revolutionary system.. To me thats pretty direct and not necessary. I agree the systems have flaws but to argue my system is better because I can guess closer to the real date is really not a strong point.

Ah, I was wondering that also until I read the press release further. I prefer the system Rhys uses myself to be honest. It's actually more accurate if you understand photos and know the type classification system is riddled with holes, and plenty of leaps in faith familiar in the game used and autograph categories.

The only advantage of the type system is easier monetization of many of those leaps of faith, and something else PSA can charge you for.

Amen, and amen.

It is very interesting how this thread went after the second post. My simple question is to EVERYONE/ ANYONE : how is the other system more accurate than the type system? I see no benefit AT ALL. NONE. ZERO. Someone who understands photos please eplain this to me. Please please please
