Never heard of Ken Fonarow?  Besides his collection that he sold to T&T recently, I am pretty sure that he had been running the Gen Con auctions for awhile up until last year when T&T took over.  I have bought several things from him off Ebay over the years.  He went by the handle weekendwarrior and obviously http://www.weekendwarrior.com is his website.  Real nice guy.

Other than T&T's pricing I've never had any problems with them. I've bought a number of their much less expensive items and always found the condition exactly as described.
