Your favorite auction house, Bruce -- Heritage.
My husband, Charley, was a Hollywood executive. When we first did a Heritage
consignment through Rudy Franchi, everything went fine. So fine, we sent a 2nd
batch using my UPS account & return label which had my name on it. I use my
maiden name, so I guess Heritage thought it was a cold submission from nobody.
Thought we'd hear from them -- nada. We are pretty busy here and knew from our
first consignment that Heritage plans their auction schedule months in advance.
When I finally called Heritage to see when the posters were going to be
auctioned. Carter told they had received the posters, and wanted to know if we
wanted to put them in the weekly auction as there was nothing of value in the
lot. I said, "What? What about the Get Carter and Lennon posters? Or the
Fillmore posters?" Heritage claimed they had not received these posters in the
lot we sent.
I had mentioned this event on this newsgroup before. You responded with a
derogatory comment about Rudy, then Grey threatened us with lawyers and I
posted a comment here batting for Rudy.
At that time this was going on, I did not want to deal with Heritage because we
were building a house and had a high weekly payroll to meet. The headache of
dealing with this Heritage problem was small potatoes compared to being the
General Contractor on a house.
After Grey threatened me with lawyers and I batted for Rudy, Rudy contacted
me. He had spoken with Grey and the upshot was we were offered a deal for
future submissions..
That was months ago.
I've come to the conclusion I don't want to do future business with Heritage.
It's one thing to have a consignment set up by Rudy for my husband, Charley
Lippincott, who had hired John Van Hammersveld to do the Get Carter poster and
has the largest, most complete collection of John's work -- even more than John
-- and another thing when little wifey using her UPS business account sends
the 2nd consignment batch. As nobody me, if posters disappeared from my lot,
who is to say that this doesn't happen to other people? On principle, I don't
want to do business with Heritage.
Life is too short, Charley's collection too huge, and it's just not worth my
time.
If Grey wants to have his lawyers come after me, fine.
