1935 Chicle Pack Legendary Auctions!!

[TanksAndSpartans]

Hi Tucker, I saw this too. Nice observation on the Presnell! Wow, you must have great eyes.

Do we think it's legit though? Or did someone buy a wrapper and a card....? I have to think bidders will be skeptical here, would've liked to see the AH give us some backstory as to the origin.

I agree Dez, would love to have some back story on the pack and would love to believe it is real what treasure if it is legit

One thing to note, PSA does document some unopened finds: http://www.psacard.com/Articles/Arti...ridiron-issues

Great piece! There are about 5-6 really great items in this Legendary Auction that I would really like to have.

Unfortunately I do not bid on auctions founded by people who are going to jail for shill bidding auction buyers.

Anyone else want to join in on this boycott? Time to start getting rid of the corruption in this hobby. It's not gonna stop as long as we as buyers continue to look the other way.

Thanks Jeff for the info!! That is bs what they did !!!

Good point Jeff. Glad you chimed in. The same issue is mentioned, but not as strongly in the current issue of GG - something to the effect: "Bill Mastro's old partners Mark Theotikos and Doug Allen started legendary Auctions......". I had no idea there was a connection.

Maybe it's a lawyer thing but anyone notice how Allen was due in court back in Sept. and nothing in the news since that month concerning his plea status. maybe I missed something here but I check the news frequently for his name and nothing comes up.maybe calvindog knows something ????

This is a 100% guess but maybe the court let them not enter their official pleas, or get their sentencing yet, until after the holidays? I too have been looking and checking and.... nothing.

Leon,you may be right as the accused are family men.Often near holidays,judges will be lenient.Of course,it could still be stalling tactics by their lawyers.
In the current Legendary catalogue,the preface was written by Jeff Marren a company vp, not a Doug Allen,etc. It sounded like he was saying goodbye.Now I am thinking Legendary folds and reemerges in another form / guess on my part.
