<p>[QUOTE="Restitutor, post: 7549383, member: 112621"]I’ve seen this pop up a few times in this thread and I have to ask: why shouldn’t they be? When I go to the butcher I don’t research whether the meat is safe to consume, I trust it because 1) I know my local shop is reputable and 2) we have government agencies to ensure it’s safety. Given the lack of #2 (although maybe NGC could be considered something like a GA), auction houses should strive to act as both ends of the coin. I, as a buyer, shouldn’t have to hire someone to investigate the coin further. I should be able to rely on the auction house to disclose all relevant pieces of info, via photos & text. If it doesn’t, and it’s reasonable for them to have known and disclosed a pertinent piece of info, well they shouldn’t be in business. Not directing this statement at the OP auction house or any in particular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
