I agree, Ken.
The problem is that Travis is truly not allowed to say or write anything derogatory about ANL or Todd Mueller. If anyone on this site, and or on Autograph Magazine Live, posted anything like that about Travis, I'd be the first one to condemn it. But Travis is not allowed to. They (ANL and Todd Mueller) would ostracize him from that vile, slimy and cowardly community known as ANL. |
You are all embarrassing yourselves.

It's easy to post a comment like that behind a pseudonym like Clutch. |
I'll make the same statement...You are all embarrassing yourselves. Fighting like a bunch of school girls. Seriously, take it off the board.

If you don't like a particular thread, then don't read it.
Or, if you do read it, and don't like it, then don't post a comment. It's that simple. There are numerous threads that make me cringe. I may or may not read them, but I've never written anyone to stop it. It really is that simple. |

Todd Mueller Elvis Presley Secretarial
A day after the below article appeared on AML about a Elvis Presley secretarial that sold at Mueller Auctions (read the Roger Epperson comment)........
http://live.autographmagazine.com/fo...s-for-1-000-at The below article appeared on that vile and slime site called ANL: http://www.autographnewslive.com/ Coincidence again? Seriously? ANL is a site that is consistently praised by Travis. |
PLEASE stop posting links to that horrible site. It is a train wreck that we should look away from.

Ken asked Travis to comment on that ANL trash......
Attachment 93844 Travis wrote "I have boxing autographs to blog about." But Travis always has time for this: Attachment 93845 |
This is no defense of Travis, he can do his own talking (or, rarely, choose not to talk.)
However, Chris, since you're pointing fingers, Ken also said this: "Have you ever talked directly to Todd about this or any other of his autos?" In fact, this question was asked twice. Ken also (twice) asked you to clarify how you read that email as Todd saying the exact Mays auto that put your panties into a bunch was the one from the airport or whatever. Your lack or responses say a lot, too. |
+1.....
Also, I am in agreement with Travis in regard to his lack of response to allegations leveled at him by a few. As he stated, there are hundreds of viewers / members on this site and I haven't seen one other asked to condemn that site. There are many that don't respond to questions or allegations, Chris being one...even though he demands from others and rags them when they don't respond. Without any proof of any relationship between Travis and that site, it is his right and privilege to respond or not to anything he wants, as each of us do. Whether Todd Mueller has any affiliation with that site has not been shown either. Until someone has something to back up the allegations made against another, everything written is just rantings made without any substance to back these up. This garbage gets really old from all sides. This is supposed to be a forum to discuss the validity of autographs, not personalities..... Everyone has opinions about everything, and unless there is something factual to back up these opinions....these remain what they are....views in one's mind. |

Thank you Big Dave, I don't even know Dave but he is right on the mark. We as a country went through similar "we suspect you are guilty with no proof so prove your innocence and make a prepared statement that we will supply or else your name will be smeared and equal to mud, and if you are not willing to do so at our demand then you must have something to hide and our suspicions of guilt must have been right all along" in the 1950's and that is regarded as a very ugly period in our country's history. It is truly disgusting and I would say more but I also agree with Dave that I believe we should comment on things related to the autograph hobby as that is what this site is for. |

I blog about boxing autographs and autograph hobby related issues regarding authentication. some dont like what i say because they like the current paradigm of "look the other way if it has a certain favorite cert attached to it"
i help expose the AUTOGRAPH HOBBY RELATED stories others don't want to touch or hope goes away. The other stuff regarding people's personal issues is just noise and should be taken elsewhere. |

From what I have seen, Mueller (the same that you have praised) is a poor authenticator of baseball autographs. Now, he may be an upstanding dealer in giving refunds when a question arises, but I wouldn't buy anything from him based on what I've seen him selling. How's that? |

What are doing in the Blarney Ruth thread? You have laid some pretty heavy claims about the actions of the alphabets, based solely on conjecture, and then said straight up that you will admit that you are wrong if they provide evidence to the contrary. So, they are guilty of your claims until they prove themselves otherwise? Well, we all know that no alphabet could ever be innocent of any act in your eyes. You get what you give. |

This pot may not be black, but it is definitely cracked. |

Steve gets it. This can of worms would have never been opened up if Travis didn't sing the praises of the "Da Man." |
Quote:
I have little respect for Mueller--I'm glad he refunded my money, but the fact that he cut up that FDC to avoid the "postmark problem" (whichcalls into doubt the autograph's authenticity even without seeing the RR listings), is despicable. Still, Travis--or anyone else--has the right to support anyone he or she chooses, without the fear of "opening up a can of worms." |
Quote:
But in doing so, he is inviting contrary opinions. Some of which may be less than flattering. What's not to get? :confused: |
After 125 posts, I believe we all get it...regardless of what we individually think.
How about we all just quit beating this dead horse, it is not coming back to life or changing anyone's mind? |
I cant understand why anyone including Travis would not just say that the site is a hate site. No more no less. If anyone of you had your name placed on that site and I mean anyone. I would go after them just as much as I did for Chris. It is a hate site nothing more nothing less. It should be condemed by everyone that comes on this site pure and simple. That is why people are upset with Travis.:mad:

Quote:
I don't mind being told that my silence condemns me. It is the unabashed hypocrisy that I feel I have to point out. Big Dave-I hear you, but dead horses are what message boards exist to beat. At least the season is starting soon! |
Ok.....guess some would rather beat a dead horse then move on.
Nobody has to condemn or say anything... and to try and force or shame someone into doing what others may or say they should...is bs. We all think different....just let it be. |
Quote:
You don't have to read it or comment under it, Dave. Your "just let it be" comment.....is BS. |
Just out of curosity Big Dave what did you think of that site.? You dont have to say anything but just wondered.
|
Well Chris and Shelly ....carry on and enjoy the hypocrisy of your self-righteous posts.
|
Wow, because you where wrong on a Mantle. I asked a question not a sermon. Do you not find that site to be a hate site? Why will you not give an honest reply.:confused:

Quote:

Now, Travis. Do you belive that the site that went after Chris is garbage or not.
Yes or no. If anyone finds that question to be offensive please explain. I would also ask the same question to all of you.:D |
Quote:
I must say though, this site(link posted) is BS(HATE SITE). I actually respect Chris' work a lot. His work isn't an attempt to enhance an authenticating career, sell merchandise, settle old scores or right old "mistakes". There are many obvious agendas on here but I believe Chris' to be a just one. I read what was written on that site and agree, it is pretty stupid. |
Well...I just waded through this entire thread reading all the links associated with it and I'm sorry to say Travis, but your lack of condemnation for that article leaves me with only one impression and it isn't favorable to you. I've never noticed you being too busy boxing or writing boxing blogs to comment on JSA/PSA or any of your other favorite targets in the auto hobby...just say it, you condemn that POS garbage written about Chris. That kind of stuff has no place anywhere let alone a hobby that is supposed to be enjoyable.
I know...I know you don't care what I think because I haven't been in the trenches with you for 20 years. Just so you know everything you post from here on out will be viewed by me as just an agenda...again, I know you don't care. :rolleyes: |

One, of course, was to show the slime and cowards over at ANL that I will never back off. The second reason was to hopefully get a condemnation from you. You're a strong supporter of that site and was hoping that you would write "they went too far." And remember, Travis, this has nothing to do with autograph opinions. This was a vile and cowardly personal attack. And it always happens when anyone criticizes Todd "Da Man" Mueller. Yes, Travis, I singled you out to condemn that attack. I really thought you would be outraged by it. I singled you out because you are a strong supporter of ANL. It was my opinion (I made a bet with a fellow member here) that you were going to criticize that personal attack. I lost the bet. You wrote the excuse "that you're busy blogging about boxing autographs." Then five minutes later "you find the time" to criticize the TPAs. The truth is, Travis, you are not allowed to say or write anything critical about ANL. That's a fact. |
i don't know if travis writes blogs for that site, if yes at the very least why would anyone want to contribute to a site that would tolerate that kind of crap writing? i would try to disassociate my name from something like that asap.
some here have a problem with what chris or travis do, i don't. they have their agendas, they stick to it come hell or high-water. i respect that position, but for travis to cast a blind eye to the garbage written over there is disappointing...if he's indeed a member as i didn't want to wade through that site to find out. |

i do find it offensive because you are singling me out specifically to answer that claim, insinuating i had something to do with it. why are you not similarly outraged that barry sloate has not come on here to denounce it? i had nothing to do with it at all, like barry, so to hound me for an answer to your invented question when you do not require that of others who are just as unconnected with the topic at hand as i am smacks of a witch hunt. i decry such actions as discriminatory and pathetic . |
Travis, I value your opinion. Is there something wrong with that?

You're the one who is a staunch supporter of both ANL and Todd Mueller. |
