Is this news worth discussing?
<< <i>Dear client,
Below, please find my latest list of rare coin offerings. You will, no doubt, notice that this list is considerably smaller than most others you have received from me over the years.
And there is good reason for that. I have been slowing down my buying, in preparation for a big and exciting change in the course of my numismatic career:
I am pleased and proud to announce that later this month, I will be joining Heritage Auctions and working out of their headquarters in Dallas.
More accurately, I will be rejoining Heritage, where I worked previously, more than twenty five years ago.
Heritage will have me involved with a number of different areas within the company, but I hope to remain in touch with many of you and continue to assist you in your numismatic pursuits. Most of you probably need no introduction to Heritage and know they’re a talented, experienced and innovative group to work with. If you are not already working with them in some capacity or another, then I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to show you how to take advantage of all that they can offer.
I will continue to use my same email address and cell number, so please contact me anytime!
Due to my upcoming move, I do not plan to do any shipping after Friday of this week. So if you wish to purchase any of the coins listed below, please get back to me before then.
Coins are great, but it is the relationships with collectors like you which make our hobby so memorable and special. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your business, for your friendship and for making my "job" so enjoyable and rewarding.
Best always,
Mark

Better yet, he will have to wear a tie! I wonder if he knows that.

You guys are tough as he could always go the business shorts attire route....
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
You make it like a Dean Martin Roast.
<< <i>Anybody, what is his new postion? >>
He's the dude in the business suit.

Not sure, but from a different email I got the impression the position might not be 100% defined yet. Pure conjecture on my part. Whatever it is, he will be great. A small percentage of my collection has come through Mark, but these represent a large part of the really great pieces.
I hope they let him out on the show circuit once in a while.
Lot of great people work at Heritage. They have great talent.

Mark in a tie will definitely make some show reports.
Although I didn't buy a lot from you, those transactions we did complete were smooth and the coins were a great match for what I was looking.
I'll miss drooling over the inventory mailings you send out.
<< <i>That's a nice acquisition for Heritage. >>
Perfectly put.
I'm ecstatic for Mark. He will do very well.
He would have also made a great senior grader at PCGS since he lived right down the road.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

<< <i>Does that mean Mark won't sell coins anymore? >>
More than likely. Non competition contracts are not uncommon for large dealers.
But my understanding of Mark's e-mail in the OP is that Mark Feld Rare Coins will cease to operate in its current form.
<< <i>Does that mean Mark won't sell coins anymore? >>
It's probably a condition of employment, so there is no direct conflict of interest in the coin biz.
Best wishes Mark, I hope the transition goes smooth.

To those of you who have asked what I will be doing at Heritage - I am not yet certain of that. A number of possibilities are being considered for me and I might end up with responsibilities in more than one area.
Please feel free to contact me there and check up on me. "
