The End Of The Chicago Philatelic Powerhouse .

Kelleher pretty much has a monopoly now on the large lots. We will see if Rasdale's demise helps DFK enlarge their auctions or if Rasdale was mainly getting Midwest consignments and that material will not make it to the East Coast. I know for me shipping costs played a role in where I consigned heavy lots. I would drive to DFK's offices. Not going to ship 36 red boxes or 50-pound cartons if it can be helped.
