The E-Sylum just reported--

"Independent sources in a position to know have confirmed his exit. One E-Sylum reader I contacted writes:
Larry is Harvey Stack's son, Susan Stack's brother, nephew to the late Norman and Ben and grandson of founders Morton & Joseph. For the past 10 years or more, Larry was the controlling power at Stack's and was singularly responsible for bringing John J. Ford's estate to auction based on his longstanding friendship with Ford and Stack's relationship with researcher/cataloguer Mike Hodder, w ho was also close with Ford.

Larry adopted Ford's and Bowers' belief and practice in issuing informative, high quality auction catalogues which proved to be invaluable references years after the auctions occurred."

Why?

-------------------------
The only good thing about being a colonial coin perfectionist is the small amount of space such a collection would take up.

Collect what you like...like what you collect. Enjoy the hobby the way you want and let others enjoy the hobby the way they want. This isn't hard.

Maybe he's retiring? It will be interesting to see if he starts a new company and competes with his old company.

Wounder what Larry's "best friend," Stewart, thinks about this?

<< Who owns that firm, anyhow? >>

Yes, that is precisely the question.

Usually in public companies the CEO only leaves when they are retiring or when they have lost the confidence of the board of directors.

So perhaps he will get on board with Bowers and Merena, I wonder how QDB would feel about that?

hmmm ... if Stack would take over Bowers, then Stack will be at Bowers, and Bowers will be at Stack's, right? Ingenious!!

Didn't QDB get fired from Bowers and Merena? Looks like Heritage and Goldberg's are the only auction company out there that have the original namesake's working at their respective companies.

Maybe the old ANR will get ressurected?

What NOT a surprise.

There was a very uncomfortable partnership there, to put it mildly.

And would I be the first to say that the quality and integrity of their auctions has become highly suspect lately? Well, they have.

Can you give us some details or perhaps some examples?
