I don't know why I bother really. I just wish some of the people who wrote me privately about this would post what they said. All I can say is if it weren't for the TV coverage, what IH did wouldn't even be a blip on the radar of the collected sins of people deeply involved in this hobby. As a matter of fact, to me the initial intent is more important than the outcome when it comes to judging a person. I don't believe IH intended to screw anyone, they just made bad calls in who to pay off first and how to handle it. That to me can be forgiven unlike actions where the intent was to screw someone from the get-go. Don't believe me, I know it's more fun to jump on the bandwagon and kick the guy that's down, especially if you already have an axe to grind against them. Besides, it's not like anyone in this hobby has ever been guilty of anything worse right? At least no one still in business right?? Right. Sure. Ruben http://www.collectingfool.com

The only thing outrageous about this incident is that it was televised and made public. I love how self-righteous people get all of a sudden when they are absolutely clueless about the people they deal with on a regular basis and usually pass as "good guys". There are a million stories about just about anyone that's been in the hobby for a while and they all make this incident pale in comparison. It's easy to knock IH now, especially since most people here don't deal with them. Ask around about your favorite art dealer before your next purchase, you might hear some unsettling things that will make you wish IH did sell more comic art. Ruben http://www.collectingfool.com
