I never dealt with or knew Ron Manion I had a friend that got items from them back in the 80's or so he used to subscribe to their catalogs and still has a lot of them. I know my friend had a good picker friend that used to take things to sell him in the late 70's and almost went into business with him when he started either 74 or 76 I don't remember what he said. I personally didn't like some of the items my friend would get from him I think they were BW, Replica etc so I never did buy from him reminded me too much of old Jack at Globe on some things some of his items were original and OK. Some of the items my friend got were ok but I always thought it was crazy to bid on something and not know if you would get it or not and then pay his fees not for me. I liked the old school dealers you just bought it and paid postage. Didn't Manions host some type of auction at the MAX? I thought I saw that and in their catalog (MAX) in their ads and MAX Certification maybe I don't pay much attention to this type of hype myself. I have heard from other collectors it is not what it used to be I don't know have never delt with them. Don't like the stories and what I am reading and I do hope the OP gets his money from them. timothy
