I don't see any "demise" in the future for auction houses, just the erasure of profit margin for the smaller players who use them.
I did nothing to that image personally; I found it on a Google Image Search for TheMont's avatar. Now, I don't know which came first, but given...
That is a pure "work of art" under all applicable law and is absolutely automatically protected. With that said, I think your grandson might have...
Holy cow, that's a "pry it from my cold dead hands" coin. :D
I don't normally do Instagram, but for this I'll make an exception. :)
