I'm even more depressed by the Heritage revelations than I was by the fake Universal poster scandal. At least the criminals behind the Universal fakes demonstrated a bit of brio and audacity, whereas this is just drab, sad, systemic theft. I suspect that Heritage have creamed-off way more cash with this white-collar scam than the Universal smash and grabbers ever did. Heritage can include me out of their pretend auctions in future. Neil PS I should clarify that I still think the Universal forgers are total scumbags. --- On Tue, 15/9/09, Michael B <dialmbb...@aol.com> wrote:

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Tuesday, 15 September, 2009, 12:42 PM There have been proven cases and/or rumors of shill bidding from london to new york to california. Yet these auction venues are still thriving, albeit, some situations involved government sanctions as settlements. But Heritage has surpassed their competition in the movie poster field. Is there a correlation? Now Heritage is in the spotlight. KEEPING YOUR ANSWER BRIEF......how does the news of heritage affect your bidding ? (Sunday versus Signature) michael ps--- my BRIEF answer: If i see a poster that is on my Want List, i will consider it. Some of my favorite posters did come from Heritage, and, at the time, they were prices which made me feel comfortable---although i can say that in several instances my winning bids at Signature equaled my maximum bid on a particular lot. mbb Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
