Besides being probably the most significant find in recent memory,what amazes me most is how it sat in the same spot through four decades-the owner HAD to know the value,did nothing with it,and being a relatively known item,noone managed to persuade him to sell it sooner?.To the victor!

I don't know Steve personally, but I know his reputation. I'm willing to bet there were no victors. Steve got what he wanted, and Bert got what he wanted.
