No, my catalog came with the rose colored glasses which enabled me to believe that the Cobb above actually sold for 32K. I'm sure the price just happened to drop in half a few months later in a Goodwin auction.

Just goes to show you having the right scanner can make a world of difference.

I'm Goth so prefer the shadowy version. The Goodwin scan better speaks to my stained soul and unearthly aspirations.

Give me a moment to post a Sisters of Mercy song.

The ultimate modern seller -- enhanced scans, shill bidding, and consignments from card doctors. Wonder how many folks fit the bill?

Did all the rich guys that only bid in Goodwin auctions die or something?
