Hi Bruce, As always great info. Can you give us some titles of the suspicious sets you received from Europe? Since I'm from Europe I'm very curious to find out. Another disturbing trend is that some companies are producing promo/commercial lobby cards. A recent example is Dark Knight. There's an

I'm glad we did not trade anything special with this guy. Based on our one time experience we did have our doubts, but he sounded reasonable. We also asked him about the NSS statement in almost all auctions and this was his reply: A few things on your concerns On the template used to list

one of the problems here at MOPO, is that replies sometimes overlook prior postings. i have never really understood MILKY WHITE, but i knew it is bad, synonymous with FAKE. In fact, bruce sent out a warning to his consignors on Sunday about this subject. I was tempted to ask him to put
