Any Love for Memory Lane?

I think Joe T. brought a lot of creditability to ML and is a big time favorite of many board members here. A lot of the positivity and accolades that came their way over the past decade may have had more to do with him than the rest of the company. Now that he has moved on, not so many are singing their praises these days and some things that were “overlooked” before are coming to the forefront.

Maybe's its just me, but when I think of ML, pre-war isn't the first thing that comes to my mind. While there is always some pre-war, and usually some nice stuff, I find their niche is to be high grade post-war set breaks. Seems like every auction they have 2-3 or more 50's, 60's or 70's topps sets in PSA 7-10 broken into individual lots. I don't think that fits the demographics of this board.

A few of us dig it. But we’re definitely in the minority around these parts.

He did, 100%. Joe is the primary reason I consigned so much stuff to memory lane. That said, I have done a lot of business with memory lane that did not involve Joe, both buying and selling privately. I really like and trust JP and his team. As a seller at auction, I have generally done better with ML than other AHs, as a private seller the experiences have been top notch, and as a buyer - either privately or at auction - I have had nothing but great experiences.

Joe is a serious asset and his joining Goldin is a massive win for Goldin.

I forgot how is ML con artist ? Did they get in trouble before or something? So many scandals over the years it’s hard to remember if any.
