He Gored Himself
Barry and Dan
Our reference to the man whose fantasies extended well beyond "inventing the internet" were factual not political. It is quite clear that Duane who had issues with the truth was working with a man who believed that infidelity was not a crime. We have no issues with AG's politics- clearly he has a lot more important problems to address. We are sure he will "cross that bridge" when he comes to it. Meanwhile Wolffers catalogs were certainly A+- and we did add 14 pieces to our collection (10 after the auction) to America's Most Distinguished Memorabilia collection.

Have to admit that "cross that bridge" was pretty funny, in a very morbid way.
But as far as the catalogs being A+, there were far too many questionable items, and far too many bids that weren't real, to warrant such high marks. Sure, there were some very nice photos, scorecards, cards, etc., but just too many other issues to consider.

But I was not aware that infidelity is a crime. Immoral yes, criminal??? Hardly. And how could anyone call a catalog A+ when that catalog was littered with bogus items and the bidding was as fake as a $3 bill. And I mean the catalog was littered, it made me scream. And in the interests of full disclosure Duane was a customer of mine. However, customers of mine would ask me about his catalog. I warned them continuously about it. I believe Duane found this out and just stopped buying from me.

I had to Google Richard Wolfers Auctions and came across this old thread.
I was wondering, after reading it, what happened to Mr. Bruce Dorskind?

rip
on god's not so toughest want list. His obituary likely easily found and quite glowing as expressed by people outside this hobby that he interacted with over many years. I hope he finally found the comfort he sought in things before people....

Being in the Bay Area, I remember Wolffers getting a lot of publicity on the local news outlets. Remember back then the sports market (not just cards) was really growing fast.
It struck me that Wolffers was more flash than cash, as some of the items, as has been stated, didn't seem right, and of course the glossy catalogs were beautiful. It seems the RW wanted to make his company into a Sotheby's / Christies of the sports world, and might have rigged some "record" sale prices for the publicity. I don't know about the personal details but I think it was pretty well verified that he was trying to run his business somewhat in a ponzi style and was deep in debt. Likely it was the damaged reputation that caused him to take the plunge more than the financial aspect.
