<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25048357, member: 101855&quot;]I don’t trust auction houses. You do. Point taken. The spirit of the OP was, is there an auction house you trust? </p><p><br /></p><p>There are small auctions, like Steve Hayden, which I do respect. Have you ever seen an auction house advise their bidders not to bid more and give them the opportunity to withdraw their bids because the photo was not indicative of the true look of the item? Steve Hayden did on a CSS Virginia iron token that had rust in the holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having been burned by an auction house that “found” a snail mail bid the day after the hammer had fallen on a live auction and a photo that misrepresented the look of a piece, I’ll say yea. No auction major house gets my unconditional endorsement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
