  • ... that Johnny Van Haeften's uncle was a polar explorer and his father-in-law was a spy, but he collects stamps?
    • ALT1:... that stamp collecting gave Johnny Van Haeften the eye for detail that is essential in dealing in old master Dutch paintings?

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.
Overall: I'd approve ALT1, but not the main hook–the main hook seems rather pejorative, and could raise BLP issues. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 19:57, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
