Even Grey Smith chimed in to promote a competitor!
Grey is in actuality, one of the best ambassadors of the hobby. At Cinevent and other conventions, he looks at every dealer's stock & does his best to find something to buy. Quite often, the items sell for less in their auctions than the dealer was paid for the item (I know from first-hand experience)
HA does an incredible amount of 'news promotion' that appears on TV, newspapers and other mediums
and to be sure, he never says one negative thing publicly about anyone and supports all of his competitors..
I think he is top-notch and a tremendous asset to the hobby. Glad to call him a friend.
