Any thoughts would be appreciated.

AgentJim,

I think you're confusing Park Ave with some other firm. Park Ave Num deals in high-end collector- and investor-grade material. I've never seen them deal in bulk material. And, they advertise in CW.

Oops. I just went to their web site and noticed that they do deal in bulk material after all. But, they also have better stuff too.

I've done quite a number of deals with Bob Green of PAN, both buying and selling, and have always been pleased with the outcome.
