Dear all,

Just to make the thing progress a bit,

Would any of the Ten Group tell us if they saw a significative change in
their auctions since they did not AD on the Met List ?

I feel happy to comply with any rules, when it is clear and official.

Perhaps Art can help us to sort out this tread.

Best regards From Chamonix ( no snow so far)
