Interesting email from REA

REA did not bring this email to the board, a contributor did. I for one applaud them, they seem to be attempting to run the most effecient clean auction house and what do they get for some of there efforts? Skeptism.

I also would like to see the before and afters and the names of the buyers of these doctored.

The other think I wonder is why people are questioning the timing of the announcement. We all know Rob Lifson reads this board as well as others that run or work at auction houses. It is a fresh issue and why not address it if you have evidence and proof of cards be doctored and letting your customers know that if you have proof of doctoring you will not allow the item into your auctions without proper notation.

Like I said earlier I applaud REA for this move there is no reason the other auction houses can not do the same.
