I suspect you could go to the recent auction, sort by highest price, and then select the top 50 cards and you'd have a pretty good idea of what was likely stolen.

Or how about this? Since the story was released with their cooperation, they could just let the public know which cards are missing. Huge difference between relying on an assumption if the actual info is available.

The handling of this situation is just driving me nuts, and these type of things normally don't. I have never had (nor will I in the future) any interaction with this auction house. Mistakes can and will be made, but...

Here is a quote from one of Ryan's prior posts about how Memory Lane informed him how they would handle the following scenario:


Third, I was told anyone who won a stolen card will be given the option, but not obligation, to buy the card at the hammer price + BP if they are found.


Really, they would still be looking to profit from the winners of these stolen cards (who placed their bids with the understandable belief that it was a normal auction for these cards, not a phantom one) if they happen to resurface? Does a real company that has made serious lapses in judgement and caused bidders and consigners such headaches and confusion really have the audacity to handle things in this manner? To still offer the cards with a Buyer's Premium?

Own up to your mistakes and do the right thing! Or else a fair amount of folks, to keep things on baseball terms, will think strike three and you're out.

We are talking about card collectors. Just give me the card I need and we can look past fraud, wrongdoings, mishaps, excess shipping...oh wait not excess shipping or shipping slowly...
