Legendary lot 1987 misidentified

Matt, You've got cojones... I appreciate you speaking up -Not that I bid at Legendary nor recommend them. Just wish more knowledgeable "senior" members would out this bullshat before another gets schmucker punched.

Doug, Doubtful you read this board often... After you work on Matt;'s question, Would you update help me out please? Do you believe transparency is essential in this current climate? Also,It seems to have faded away some. Was there ever a resolution to this past issue?:

Steve--Legendary has been running great auctions. The past is the past; these guys are doing a good job now. I have bid and won items in the last several auctions and am very happy with every aspect of the experience.

Steve,

I do read the board often...in the early days I was a consistent contributor as I am actually pretty knowledgable about many of the pre-war issues but it got to the point it made no sense to participate based on the personal attacks.

I appreciate Jay's support and it is true that in our two years of existence we have handled over 20,000 items representing over $25 million in collectibles and in my humble opinion have done so in a professional manner. I know we have really enjoyed ourselves.

As to your question I do believe in transparency and honesty. That being said whether you or anyone likes it or not I will not address anything related to Mastro Auctions and in fact the NDA I signed when we did the asset purchase from them prohibits me from doing so.

Regards,
Doug

Jay, I have to, respectfully, disagree. For many, until all the issues of the past are brought out, discussed, and answered, the past still has some bearing on the present.

While I agree that Legendary has been running great auctions for the past two years, many bidders will still hold against them the accusations lodged against Mastro. That may not be completely fair, but it is a fact. A symbolic name change, and a transfer of assets is not always a clean slate.

Besides, that "I'm not here to talk abou the past..." stuff rarely works well.

For the record, Legendary has been very responsive to correcting mis-ID's a bunch of times in the recent past. I did not notice this one myself, but I received emails from several people about it. Though it was not a high dollar item, since Doug did not want to change the description and because the item was getting some attention, I thought I should start this thread.

I looked at it carefully. I may not be good at much else, but I am pretty good at this. I can say that it is not Joe Wood, and it is likely Larry Gardner for a couple of very good reasons (I may post more deails later if anyone is interested). Doug and Legendary, of course, are entitled to their own opinion.
