We can help put the bad guys in prison

My fondest hope and belief is that there are more copnvictions to come.
The members of this board are becoming activists and that is good. I am seeing a number of people posting about how they have complained and written to auction houses now. All of this helps.
Sitting on your butt and throwing a log on the fireplace won't do it now.
We need more activists and hope we get more law enforcement that will go after these guys and more auction houses that will follow the example of the two that have been mentioned here as doing the right thing.

I'd like to give a shout-out to Heritage auctions. There were some rings in their upcoming auction that were bogus and a real ring that had some issues they were unaware of.

Heritage did a great job of listening, researching and pulling the rings out of the auction. It's not their fault, there are so few ring experts in the hobby and an auction house can't be an expert in every minor collecting category.

Even better, after the rings were pulled, Heritage figured out a solution to this problem. Chris Ivy informed me of a new policy - going forward, their rings will be authenticated by an independent source before going to auction.

The new auction policy should help eliminate problems in this area of collecting.

Thanks Chris!
