[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1092710, member: 2972"]Agreed. One reason I mentioned it is that I've heard (from more than one source) that an unusually large % of the coins at TT are owned by Spectrum as opposed to the other venues. I wonder if anyone has concrete info to this end. The other reason I brought it up is that both HA and DL publish their reserves. TT does not. When the house is the consignor, they can then set a reserve and relist the item over and over. Disguising what is essentially a retail transaction in the clothes of an auction. And that has always struck me as a tad bit on the shady side....Mike p.s. In fairness, TT is really a wonderful company to deal with, and I have nothing but good things to say about them on the buy side.
