Hello Jay, Joshua, and List members,

I would be happy to help, and I certainly wish I had seen those Ebay auctions
with a fake Monnig Collection provenance. I just looked on Ebay but did not
see them. And I do not check Ebay auctions very often. Maybe one of you can
email me if you spot another one, I certainly will check with Art Ehlmann as
quickly as possible.
I do know that Laurence Garvie is also member of this list, maybe he can
alert us if ASU does any trade with Mr Evans.
And I'll be glad to talk to our esteemed List-Owner in Tucson.

Maybe it will take the collaboration of a lot of members to get this problem
resolved.

I couldn't agree more with Phil.
I have no idea why he is allowed to continue his communications on this
list. We should not continue to look away and let some unsuspecting
collector be taken advantage of. It can eventually affect the value of all
of our collections.
What needs to be done to get Art to remove him from the list.

This was brought up in the past but no action was taken. I was hoping he
would just pick a different hobby. Not so lucky...

Al, Phil,McCartney,Anne,Martin H,Art...Everyone.... What is the next step?
