How to crack a $50,000 to $100,000 card.....

[wonkaticket]

If the card had never been listed for sale in the first place and we could turn back the clock a year or so when you were first made aware of the cards issues via the FBI. Then the above images and NYPL letter would have gone down as one of the most stand up things in the hobby ever.

However the convenient worded auction listing, the BS, the name calling, the long political PMs and the locking of threads. Render the above more of a bitter sweet last resort vs. that of a selfless act. That's really a shame.....

In the end it is a great thing that the property will be returned to the collection of the NYPL, ultimately the best possible outcome given the situation.

Cheers,

John

Any work of art or collectible stands a much better chance of making it to the next generation of folks if it is held by a collector, as opposed to a Museum or library... I hope they don't lose it again...
