Only in this hobby and this forum can one respond to another forum members question about an item which is commonly known to be faked. And have to spend time justifying why it wasn’t done to someone else’s liking or standards. LOL
Funny Jerry and I should have handled differently so there should have been due diligence on our part but the auction house gets the benefit of the doubt. Hmmm the item sells or doesn’t sell Jerry and I benefit how again? What’s our motive again?
I also think private notification is silly if an auction house has nothing to hide and uses this forum to promote items and in doing so is notified publicly that said item or items may be questionable. It’s an easy fix remove item or items if they agree and thank the forum for its support and input. If they disagree explain why so bidders can bid with ease and confidence.
Nobody expects folks to be perfect but we expect business owners to be professional and fix mistakes which I’m sure Collect.com will be as they have given me no reason to think they won’t.
This applys to all auction houses, grading companies and sellers etc.
Still the bigger question is a valid one that folks have raised me included.
An auction house that is affiliated with a company who derives revenue from known fraudulent sources like Coaches Corner does seem to be a conflict of interest bad Stall & Dean item excluded.
