If you want to know the truth, here it is. Theo holstein is only after that fortune teller so he can use to make fakes and sell them, excuse me, attempt to sell them for a ridiculous amount of money. He has made many fakes before, not just arcade fakes but paintings too. Most of good old theo's "collection" is fake. He is not a sharp buyer by any means. He is a con artist of the worst kind. Beware of him because he is known to rip people off at the slightest chance.
Preaching to the choir.
1. IMO, random72, with his first post on the boards, is probably Stu sporting a new monicker, looking to stir up a pot of trouble before the Mods make him go *poof* again.
2. If this is the choir then maybe I'm out of tune. Folks say a lot of things about Theo, that he's eccentric, difficult to negotiate with, even crazy, which is a subjective POV based on reported dealings I've heard from other's, ...but a con-man selling fakes? Where's the original poster's evidence? That's a very serious accusation.
Exhibit numbers one & two from my own collection (both purchased from Theo):
Anyone think these are fakes?
If they are would love to have them ( DONT THINK THEY ARE FAKES ). I love them (thumbs u
