Problems with two championship rings in upcoming Heritage Auction

Where does he threaten a lawsuit? I don't see it.

If you're talking about the "protecting the consignors best interest" line, it seems more reasonable that he was referring to their aforementioned desire to only amend the listing once and only once, after their investigation was completed.

I didn't see the lawsuit threat either... unless it was contained in a separate correspondence between you and Chris.

I can't imagine Heritage would want that, either. They'd have to prove you are wrong, when the overwhelming evidence is on your side. Then they would have to prove actual damages. The legal fees and time spent would easily overshadow any gains they would potentially realize from their commission on those 2 rings. Not to mention the bad publicity, should they lose the case... all over 2 rings? No way would that lawsuit ever come to fruition.

If there was really a lawsuit threat, it was most likely an empty scare tactic.

[Given all of this information, it appears to me that you are giving me an arbitrary ultimatum because you are simply impatient. If that is the case, then posting speculation on a message board could materially affect the pieces and the outcome for our consignor, which I take seriously.

Again, I wrote that it could be interpreted that he is hinting at a lawsuit. Perhaps I read too much into it.
