Sheldon. See my post below. You are reading too much into it. Ace Chips is James Campiglia, joint consultant responsible for the sale of the collection as well as author.

There is nothing 'fishy' about the sale of this collection. I have viewed parts of it, and have known about it for maybe 8 months now (as have others here). Ive even had contact with the owner. The collection contains several items of importance to my research and articles and I have permission to use scans in the future.
