Grey Smith and Heritage auctions are NOT the bad guy here. They are

a legal firm to request their assistance. I can tell you for a fact
that Grey was very helpful in piecing together the Haggard plot. I am
grateful for Grey's expertise in our hobby. And, if I was having
problems with someone, he is the expert I would try to obtain to secure
posters. I have no idea what the arrangement was, but lets not
villainize the guy trying to keep our hobby on track. In a hobby that
seems to have increasing problems, I can tell you Grey is one of the

It was a restorer who swore on his life that the 1931 Dracula one-sheet
then being offered by Profiles in History was an original.
But if you like to offer 2-3x what posters are worth, I certainly hope
you will remember to check out our auctions starting this weekend.

http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=695&lotNo=85729I 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 “The Phantom of the Opera” 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 “The Phantom of the Opera” 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 “Phantom of the Opera” poster from you (I have
pictures of the poster hanging on Ken’s 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 he’d sell through Heritage rather than sell
directly to me even when I’d offer him 2X or 3X what a poster he was
selling was worth.
I'm not saying by any means that Heritage or “sign on the dotted line”
Grey Smith knew what was going on, but Grey Smith representing “the
state of California and Robert C. Mannheim” presents itself as a MAJOR
conflict of interest because he took “bad consignments” from Ken
Schacter in exchange for “The Phantom of the Opera” which was not on
the truck (amongst other things) when marshalls hauled Ken’s
stolen“movie material” off last Wednesday.

Where ever you’re getting your facts, you should do a little bit
better fact checking! You obviously have some very poor sources.

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
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?
