Not sure that is a fair comment under the circumstances.
Are you saying that because he started life as an auctioneers porter, spent a great deal of time working within the industry, alongside some very knowledgable people, at several specialists auction houses, picking up a fair bit of knowlledge on the way, cataloguing sales, attending sales, meeting and advising the collectors disposing of their hard built collections, he was not qualified to 'step up' when the opportunity arose?
ps
i do agree that some of his valuations were a bit wayward.
