How did REA get such high prices on the 1967 Test Stand-ups when last nights auction provided the consigner a fraction of the price? If something smells fishy, it may be time to change the depends. I hope you take our banter as jest. I think you bring up some interesting closing figures, but until I see something else, I don't think too many people are gonna get behind you. In every auction there are ridiculous prices high and low. Anyone can find them.

Dan, you're like a shill who's trying desperately to discourage me from continuing to expose the most obvious fraud in our hobby today in order to protect the company to which you consign cards. And no matter how many times I post about it, you keep coming back to tell me I should ignore circumstantial evidence and instead get my hands on Goodwin's bidding records. So when everyone keeps ignoring my posts (you know, like they did with Mastro) then I'll stop posting about it. But that day doesn't seem very close now, does it?

And just for fun:
