Grey is indeed a class act.
Mr Schacter on the the other hand is a case of
don't judge a book by it's cover. Who would
think by looking at the guy that he could put
together a $200,000. - 300,000. deal?

I have the correct facts on this and would swear
my life on it. The truth will eventually come
out and be told to everyone. It's just a matter
of time. People already know about it.
Prior to last year you co-owed (w/ Heritage) or
owned the paperbacked "Phantom of the Opera" One
Sheet poster above and set up the trade for
consignment plan with Ken Schacter right around
the March 2011 Heritage Signature auction (he
consigned many, many posters to this auction but
some included the French Horror of Dracula,
Fantastic Voyage Teaser, Vertigo 30 X 40 amongst
many, many others). Many, Many other items were
taken in by Heritage Auctions from Ken Schacter
in exchange trading him âThe Phantom of the
Operaâ One Sheet poster above. That is a cold
hard fact. In that particular signature auction
and others. Please do not try to deny this
because last year you negotiated the plan for
him to acquire âThe Phantom of the Operaâ
poster above in exchange for consignments to
Heritage Auctions (albeit Ken may have pestered
you to the point and completely dragged you into this).
The consignment deal for "The Phantom of the
Opera" went through last year after taking many
months time of Ken negotiating and speaking with
you (Grey) over the phone. The deal took months
to complete but in then end, Ken got the
âPhantom of the Operaâ poster from you (I
have pictures of the poster hanging on Kenâs
wall taken last year on my computer). After the
deal went through you then personally flew out
to Los Angeles and hand delivered "The Phantom
of the Opera" paperbacked one sheet poster above
to him. I also heard the poster was actually
sitting in a vault in Los Angeles (or the
Heritage offices) waiting on Ken to complete the
deal. It went through and he got the
poster. Again that is a bonafide cold hard fact
(I have photos of Ken with the poster).
Why you were there "assisting the State of
California and the trustee" was EXTREMELY
bizarre to say the least especially considering
he consigned so much poster material through Heritage over the years.
I guess this mutual relationship between you all
explains why so many times over the years heâd
sell through Heritage rather than sell directly
to me even when Iâd offer him 2X or 3X what a
poster he was selling was worth.
I'm not saying by any means that Heritage or
âsign on the dotted lineâ Grey Smith knew
what was going on, but Grey Smith representing
âthe state of California and Robert C.
Mannheimâ presents itself as a MAJOR conflict
of interest because he took âbad
consignmentsâ from Ken Schacter in exchange
for âThe Phantom of the Operaâ which was not
on the truck (amongst other things) when
marshalls hauled Kenâs stolenâmovie materialâ off last Wednesday.

Didn't the vast majority of Heritage's movie
poster consignments come from Ken Schacter over the last few years?
<http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=695&lotNo=85729&lang=en>http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=695&lotNo=85729
For example didn't Ken swing a $200,000 or
$300,000 trade with Heritage last year in
exchange for this paperbacked One Sheet for "The
Phantom of the Opera" that is shown above and
was hauled off last Wednesday? I heard Ken gave
them consignments for their Signature auctions
in exchange for this one "Phantom of the Opera"
poster over a gradual period of time dating back
to a least the last couple of years. That is a
fact. Another California collector told me that
a motherload of these items were in Heritage's
2011 March Dallas Signature auction. That also is a fact.
Wouldn't this be a major confict of interest if
Heritage were given the opportunity to sell on
behalf of the Trustee if they were tied into
this? That is taking in "dirty consigments"
from someone who didn't have a clean title on
them or was using laundered money?
