IMHO, there is significant difference between someone fraudulently
proclaiming (without doing the legwork) "This meteorite IS paired with
XXXX" and someone saying "This meteorite I BELIEVE TO BE paired with XXXX"
or "This meteorite MIGHT BE paired with XXXX". If the latter, I want to see
large disclaimers and that an appropriate sample has been submitted for
classification to the appropriate labs before I spend my money. although I
have been known to take a flyer. That's also how I got a couple of my
meteorwrongs :) It doesn't hurt to be a known reliable source either.
Anyone can say they THINK they have the newest lunar, but show me the
paperwork first.

Yea but...
A PCGS rated coin is worth a lot more than a dealer's self proclaimed
rating
which means nothing no matter how honest he may be perceived. Same for
baseball cards. Borrowing a serial number from an officially rated baseball
card would be considered fraudulent. A dealer rating a card a perfect "10"
doesn't make it so. Borrowing NWA numbers is the same thing as far as I am
concerned. Buyer beware I guess sums it up.
Go to go,
Adam
