Regardless of Kurtz's situation his signature is on ALL the Kurtz/Joiner COA's so he is as guilty as Joiner in this.He is PERFECTLY aware of the nature of the pieces being passed through the major auction houses with his name on them and these are not fly-by-night auctions.They are major publicised events and to excuse this behaviour through his bankruptcy is not acceptable.Gary Kurtz has no defence for this.My apologies for hijacking the thread and I'll leave it at this but I cannot abide the way Kurtz has been ripping people off for years with this stuff.
