Thanks David, I neglected to mention the title! Yeah HA has gone down the drain since Grey left. If you look at the last Sunday auction there are a lot of really faded pieces. Even in the recent signature auction there was the biggest selection of faded LC's I have ever seen. Shocking to see that level of material in a Sig auction. Evidently Bruce is not grading all or some of the auction material. There is another sweet creamsicle variant coming up in the Sig auction in march. Looks remarkably similar to the one they just "sold" on Sunday.
