Ahhh … so things will be getting worse before they get better. If there is a common source for these AND some belong to one collector while others belong somewhere else, even more suspicions are raised, especially in the timing of things … did the GC items come first? Were they paid for? If so, did that provide incentive to ‘the collector’ to bring his bit forward? What is the relationship between ‘collector’ and the GC collection? Again, this is suggesting that there is a good possibility of more to come. Time to start following the money????
I’m seriously hoping Dr Obbink sees how the optics are bad on this. This would probably be a good time to sit down for a chat with the Classics Confidential folks… I doubt the paper media is interested any more.
