Also, I refuse to bid in Legendary, bunch of F'ing crooks for the reasons Jeff listed and above. Consignors should learn to deal with auction houses who aren't felons (alleged)

Just toss the catalogue in the trash.

... AND DON'T BID. In talking to consignors, they feel they are in a tough spot as they obviously want to realize the best price possible for their items and don't like to exclude auction houses from consideration. That's why it's up to all of us. If less bids happen at Legendary, items go for less $$$, consigners get unhappy and stop consigning to them, and POOF, they go away.

Thanks for the support, Joe! It's the only way out of this mess we all have contributed too.

I couldn't agree more Jeff
I'm publicly announcing I would never bid in a Legendary auction, I don't care how many Largent rookie cards they have.

So if you're a consignor thinking about using Legendary, know they have a lot of high end football collectors who don't bid there and it will likely effect the price of your items, in a negative way

I don't see how consignors are in a tough spot. They know what these guys are going to jail for. They have a choice just like the bidders. The fact that these guys can send a catalog out with a straight face floors me frankly. If you choose to look the other way and consign there you should expect a large portion of the hobby IMO to say "no thanks."

Another thing re consignors, if there's something this hobby doesn't have a shortage of on the positive side - it's auction houses. There are plenty of places to consign your wares.

It's not really that hard to deny yourself is it?

My crystal ball says we probably won't have to worry about certain auction houses in the future.....

I hope you are right, Leon, but I don't want us to become complacent and give them any chance of hanging in there. Drive a stake in their hearts!
