Al,

If you truly don't understand what makes up and can cause a conflict of interest, and how that can be considered a potential problem when you are supposedly paying someone to give you their HONEST AND TOTALLY UNBIASED opinion, you really are better off saying nothing!!!

When dealing with someone that is supposed to be independent and unbiased, that independence should be in both fact AND appearance. So how does a company giving their subjective opinion on the condition of something that directly affects that items value, and therefore how much they can charge for giving that opinion, not in this or any parallel universe you could ever invent be anything other than a potential conflict of interest?!?!?!

Now if you were just trying to be sarcastic or funny, try making that a bit more obvious next time please.

Agree. I'd put it this way: When you refinance your home and get an appraisal, would it be legal and ethical to offer the appraiser a bonus if she comes in with a high appraisal?

Mark,

It would certainly not be ethical. Not as sure about legality as it would likely vary by state, but can imagine it some type of fraud it they purposely inflated a valuation.

sold for $475,960. Reasonable price.

Was watching some of the historically significant photos in this auction, WOW! It won't be long now before photos are unreachable.

[mrreality68]

Agreed on both points the price was reasonable for that piece and those photo prices are started to gain pricing momentum

[Rhotchkiss]

A fair price for the card, although I would have liked to see it go over $500k.

Regarding photos, I am not ready to dive into sports photos. But I did pick this type 1 photo up last night, largely because of the subject and the fact the negative was included

+1. Extremely so, I'm guessing this will prove to be a great investment.

I was looking at that MLK photo as well Ryan...it's beautiful. Some big prices on some of those baseball related photos last night.
