<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 8200177, member: 21705&quot;]It seems to fall in the old argument of caveat vendor and caveat emptor. In both cases, is the one with superior knowledge obligated by law or ethics to share that knowledge? The same applies to cherry picking by grade or variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found most collectors share such knowledge freely, but would we expect our Doctors and Lawyers to do the same after their costs in time and money to secure this knowledge? No. We expect to pay for that service and to have confidence in the services rendered.</p><p><br /></p><p>But ethics (or morality) did not seem to be a high priority in my chosen specialty. Two of the biggest names in the specialty were an unrepentant pedophile and a kleptomaniac. And yet most collectors are of the highest character.</p><p><br /></p><p>This and similar boards testify to the willingness of people to help each other. And I&#039;m glad to participate, perhaps too much at times with speculation rather than knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
