Heritage Auctions - Boston Garters

[perezfan]

By this time, it seems everyone has given thoughtful input and advice… most of which is very astute. Wouldn’t it be nice if Heritage would post something here? They used to have a guy who posted here with regularity, mostly to promote upcoming auctions.

It just seems to me that they should post something here to clarify their stance, and perhaps more importantly to advise us with plans to remedy these types of problematic situations, moving forward. Is that asking too much?

No, it is not asking too much. There is a real problem with admitting mistakes in today's culture.

Pete Calderon used to post for Heritage, if memory serves.

Not going to defend HA here.

But I’m not sure they have much to gain by posting.

Just guessing at this part! -> Especially if they’re ignoring the whole situation. Perhaps because in their mind everything went down as planned. Might even be oblivious to the whole situation.

Now if they expected to make some changes because they learned something, then a post would be a better idea.

They don't care and for good reason. In a week we will all forget.

Maybe some, but not Powell

It's been a long time since I've checked records, but I know we had a complete set of these 1914. Pretty sure we had a complete (or near) 1912 set as well.

If I recall correctly, the 1912s sold privately, while the 1914 set was sold in the higher-end catalog we did. This was maybe 10 years ago, so my memories could be off a bit.

Always loved these cards, along with the other display materials one could have with them!

Hi Doug! I hope all is well with you and your family. I still fondly remember going up with Richard and my younger son, Matt, to see your family collection about ten years ago. Your museum was incredible.

Kind words, and I very much remember those days as well. Sometimes it seems so long ago, but certain things bring it back very vividly!

All is well here, now doing a lot of work for museums and national touring exhibitions. Still collecting a bit (though mostly game-worn Mike Trout stuff).

Hope you and the family are well. Would be great to catch up sometime!

I recently just picked up this piece. It was in a book of other drawings related to a lot of different products. I just thought this one was cool and timely due to the recent Boston Garter sale.

New thread made me think of the Boston Garter cards.

Was there any closure on this or just a fade away?
