You know, I hate to see Heritage get caught in any scandal what with the hard work of our buddy Grey dedicating immense effort to get his poster auctions to the caliber they presently enjoy as well as many of the other divisions that have worked hard to plant their tent pole auctions including coins, comics, Americana, jewels, minerals, antiques etc. But the guy running props was warned time and again on his listings by people I know personally, as well as a website for props that undertook astonishing documentation that called into question a shocking number of their so called certified items. On this one website, one intrepid member knew the user ID LA Props would use to purchase items on Ebay. He could actually trace items purchased on Ebay (this is a non-specific example) but say a simple cowboy hat would be purchased, exact item would later be "authenticated" as John Wayne's. I know that sounds incredible but this individual sited numerous situations exactly like this. These findings and calls into question would be arrogantly ignored by the director at Heritage props much to the frustration of dealers who specialize in such items knowing such a scandal could hurt the hobby as a whole. How many even know LA Prop is not even in California? The guy at Heritage should be terminated, he was warned and challenged time and again and now his declarations of protest in the press are a joke. He knew, he knew the entire time. The implications hopefully will nipped in the bud unique to this individual and LA Props. But Heritage will have their work cut out for them on future endeavors. What's the saying, "lay with dogs you get fleas, or in this case, ticks." It's fraud on the grandest scale and a shame for an organization that has worked so hard to be one of the best.
