Some of you may have been following the saga of the eBay seller, 1079edmund, who overpaints luster plaques. I reported it here, and Stephen Smith, who hosts that fantastic site on plaques, www.matesoundthepump.com, has been meticulous in recording the trail of deception and relentless in trying to get this wrong righted. Click here to read about it. Several of us have written to eBay to no apparent avail, but at last someone has noticed: The Antiques Trade Gazette has published the story as its lead article this week. Thanks to ATG for helping keep the market safe. My guess is that 1079edmund will be putting his paints away...at least for now. But stay alert, because a leopard doesn't change its spots (unless someone has a paint brush). Who knows what will get painted next?
