[78-L] R Johnson auction

[Taylor Bowie]

I was not accusing anyone of anything....just noting that it seems to be the 
better records which disappear from listings and not the more ordinary ones.

I bought records from Mike Stewart for 30+ years and never had a complaint 
that wasn't taken care of right away.  I don't know anything about his son 
as he no longer sends me lists.
