[78-L] Kurt Nauck's Auctions.

[Paul Christenzen]

I agree - Kurt's #1 - for auctions.  But since we're talking about 
sellers, and since maybe some people don't like what he had to say 
yesterday, Darrell Lehman is the best (only regular?) at "set price" 
sales.  He grades differently but I've bought several hundred over the 
past 3-4 years and never been disappointed.  And he packs like there are 
gonna be wild elephants on your doorstep.  And charges slightly over 
actual postage!

A happy collector, Paul C

>> I have no complaints whatsoever!
