Why?

I get the frustration...but what Chris is doing is no different than what the two big TPA's do.

I haven't seen them come here and post something and ask people what they think. In that way what he does is different. And I don't care whether he shares what he knows or thinks he knows, that's up to him. Just pointing out the difference in response to your post.

That's a fair question David. Maybe I should not.

What I find really amazing is how so many of you are upset with Chris. He says its bad and you go after him like he committed a crime. If you think he is correct good if you dont good. There is not one person on this site that does not know how Chris goes about his work. Enough all ready.

Shelly,

I have actually been very civil with Chris. Even several page back when he said "JSA did not cert this Ruth" and I politely displayed the screenshot showing they did.
The issue isn't Chris the person, but rather the condescending tone he takes anytime he responds. He doesn't know me, so calling me clueless is uncalled for.

Alicia Silverstone and Brittany Murphy are "Clueless" not I.

Chris, have you relayed 100% of the information you have regarding this autograph to H&S or JSA?

James, it was your demanding attitude that perturbed me. Then, on top of that, you had your facts wrong.

James, have you ever considered doing your own leg work if you desire certain information?

James, if one day you decide to do take your own time and expense to acquire information that you desire, and if you acquire that information, then you can make your own decision whether or not to publish it.

Chris,

You love to pick fights so let's do it...Please use your copy/paste magic to show where my attitude was "demanding"....and please include examples that were unprovoked and unwarranted.

I honestly always wanted to avoid getting into these kind of thread spats with you, but man...you just make it too easy. You are the one and only COMMON DENOMINATOR in every thread that goes south...

[jgmp123]

Also, as far as "own legwork" is concerned...my religion, job, wife, and 2 little girls (ages 4 & 2) take precedent over all of that. This started out as a thread asking for you to provide additional details of your findings just like every other thread that ends up like this.

Chris tells us that the Babe Ruth ticket is a forgery. He is disappointed in JSA and Huggins. Should they pull the item just bc he says they should? I wouldn't. He says he has relayed all information to Huggins. They do the right thing and come on here and tell us in a fairly detailed manner why they believe Chris is wrong. If Chris really believes it is bad, he should post why. If there is general agreement here that Chris is right, I guarantee that Huggins will do the right thing. That is why it is important Shelly. To say "we'll that's how Chris does it" is fine, but it is not a reason for Huggins to pull the item. Up to this point they have done the right and stand up thing; it is Chris who has not.

Steve and Dan, all of the participants are well aware of my concerns.

Did I expect Huggins & Scott to pull it because of my concerns? No.

Should they pull that Babe Ruth Signed Ticket because of my concerns? Probably not.

But I did want to make all of the participants aware of my concerns.

I wouldn't have posted this thread if I wasn't serious.

We can all see that they are aware of your concerns...have you relayed to them 100% of what you know about this autograph? You don't have to tell us what that is, because obviously you are not going to tell us, but have you told them WHY it is bad?

[David Atkatz]

Dan, according to the consignor, Chris has never been in touch.
But he did announce to the board that he sought his contact info.

Issuing pronouncements to the board should be enough. How dare anyone ask for more?

Thank you, Shelly.
