Frank took it over and ran it into the ground.

I have never done business with them so can't give a personal experience story. However, I do remember (vaguely) that there was some controversy about HT about 10 years or more ago. Something to do with business practices...perhaps the same problems?

In article <c3e901b1-9fcd-4e51...@googlegroups.com>,
Longer than that, actually ... IIRC there wuz a Federal Trade Commission
investigation (mainly re exorbitant pricing and unrealistic profit
projections) circa 1990, followed by a chapter 7 bankruptcy a year later
and an FTC consent decree a year after than. I remember buying several
lots of proof 1964 Kennedy halves and such in Tulving slabs for around
$4.50 each at the time, with prices printed on the slab label of $25 and
up. They were all properly graded, but horribly overpriced.

He reinvented himself several years later as The Tulving Company and has
been in business for almost twenty years in mostly bullion. I've
periodically heard stories about slow delivery, but haven't heard of any
recent investigations and/or litigation ...

Aha, ha, ha, Bobbie! That's funny! Good(?) to know you haven't succeeded
in killing yourself yet.

Ordered a couple of times about 5 yrs ago and shipments took longer than promised. Spoke to Tulving both times and he was a real horses ass. Did not use again thank goodness.
