Legendary viewing

[oldjudge]

This is a great auction, as was the live auction at the National. There is no reason to ignore Legendary--they are back in the mix.

Jay, I feel quite certain that Legendary is not being ignored.

Matt-I was responding to Steve's second post in this thread. I am well aware of what went on with Legendary in the past. My point is that they seem to be rebuilding their reputation, and the quality of their auctions reflects this.

Obviously consignors weren't scared off for long. The postcards in this upcoming auction are incredible.

Steve was speaking as a bidder, not as a consignor - as a bidder, the issues had/have nothing to do with the selection they offered.

Mastro's good reputation was based solely on them delivering eye-popping prices to consignors. A criminal investigation of their shill bidding and other fraudulent practices appears to be providing a basis for that well-earned reputation. Crack dealers have good reputations with their customers too as long as they deliver the product; doesn't mean that no laws were broken in the process.

Jay - no one is ignoring Legendary due to the quality of their offerings - those who are staying away are doing so consciously. You can read old threads if you need the details - I'm happy to supply links if you have trouble finding them.
