Jim, you are correct. It is wrong to bring in anyone's faimly. There is the problem that she is the head of the Company. I still think Travis should answere but he has put her in a reall bad position:mad:

She appears to have an active role in the website though.

---------------------------------
Hello, welcome to my planet. I am Nora Roste and I created Autograph Planet for your enjoyment. I am your hostess ready to help you in your wonderful journey of collecting autographs. I have given my husband Travis, the boxing guy, the task of adminstering the site, so I can more easily help you with your collecting needs. You will be hearing from both of us a lot, and let me know how we can help you here at Autograph Planet.

I am originally from Philippines, which is on the other side of Autograph Planet, ha, but we have our celebrities there, too. Most notably Manny Pacquiao, but also billiards legend Efren Reyes and Americans who have Filipino heritage such as DWTS Cheryl Burke, and Tia Carrere, Phoebe Cates, Lou Diamond Philips and a lot more.

I have a lot of entertainment and collecting interests and it will be fun to learn yours! You will be seeing more posts from me and my sidekick, that's my husband, as we travel together on this spinning globe we call the Autograph Planet. Mabuhay!
-----------------------------------

Correct, Shelly. Mrs. Roste announced "I am Nora Roste and I created Autograph Planet for your enjoyment."

All I want to know is why my membership was rejected.

Sounds like a fair question to me.

Then preface your question with: "Travis, I think PSA and DNA are the worst things since unsliced bread. What are your thoughts? Oh, and why was my Planet membership rejected?"

You'll at least get a response to half of your post.

I see your point Chris, Dan, and Shelly. I tried to state my concern politely as I have much respect for Chris. You are right fair question Leon. Chris certainly not wanting to start trouble here, but without the back story you can see why I would say that. I have never been to that website I get plenty of Travis on here. I actually like Travis just fine, but that small dig was to easy to avoid and rather harmless. Thanks for clearing this up for me guys.

Hey James
You haven't been on the board a long, long time. Just so you know, I have absolutely 0 tolerance for anyone bringing any family members into any discussions in a negative, or close to negative way. I am very protective in this area. If anyone wants to get immediately kicked off of the board just give it a go. So I think we are on the same page in how we feel. That being said, She is one of the owners of that site, so in a respectful way should be fair game. Chris was/is respectful and the question was certainly fair, as you agreed. I just wanted to reiterate my feelings on bringing any family members into discussions for those who may not know.

Hey that is cool Leon. I think all of us are gentlemen and agree on this topic. Chris and I get along very well I knew I could ask the question without offending him.

I, too, have ZERO tolerance for anyone bringing family members into these forums.

But Mrs. Roste is the "Owner" of AutographPlanet.

All I want to know is why my membership was rejected and by who (Travis, Nora, or Mueller)?

Let me see if I have my facts straight here...Travis comes to Net54 daily, spouts off about whatever he wants to regarding PSA/DNA, JSA, and auction houses..never once having a single word he's written stricken from the record, yet constantly accuses us of McCarthyism. He's also been demanding Heritage come here and tell him why he was banned from their auctions.

Meanwhile he runs a web forum that does not allow dissent, and won't tell Chris why he is "banned" from his website.

This is hilarious.

Actually, Dan, I believe the correct adjective is "Orwellian."

Let us be totaly honest. This is Autograph Alert. Steve can not have his own site so he uses the same team. I give you a topic and if you dont agree you not here anymore. I would just say that I wish Travis and his faimly well.:rolleyes:
On a seperate note. You really are a coward and I do feel bad for your better half.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Travis, there is a Woody Alen movie called the front. You should whatch it. Look at the ending over and over and you will find out who and what you should be.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0074554/‎

I just might do that, Scott.....

Leon, can' Travis have his wife sign up? I would think she would be a lot better person to talk about that site than Travis. It seems to me the person that owns it and runs can tell us :confused:why some people can belong and others can't

Anyone can sign up. No one has ever not been approved upon original registration. Peter Nash could even sign up :).

Leon. who is that:confused:

I think that's a great idea.

Shame on Travis for putting his wife in a terrible position if it is indeed true that other people are controlling what goes on at his(?) site.

Just another example of very poor judgement.

Agreed.

I sincerely hope that Mrs. Roste wasn't put in that position to act as some kind of shield from criticism.

I wonder what would happen if, out-of-the-blue, Leon decided to ban Travis?

That would never happen, of course, but what would Travis, and his buddies, like Mueller, comment, if Travis was banned from Net54?

Kind of a "if a tree falls in the woods" sort of question...?

Yes, Lance, kind of......

There is no reason to ban him. He doesnt say anything:)

The silence from Travis is deafening..........

Maybe Travis will start another deflection thread.....

Isn't freedom of speech a great thing......even if you don't like what someone has to say...or someone doesnt like what you say.

Peter Nash is Prime Minister Pete Nice of 3rd Bass. Here he is preforming on stage July 2013 in Brooklyn, first show in 13 years, see link:

Hope you do well Peter because you owe a lot of people money. Maybe you should write a new song about pleading the fifth since you have firsthand experience. You can give some words of wisdom about how you got the gas face by pleading the fifth dozens of times in a civil lawsuit. I have a suggestion for you write something about your life experiences on your Hauls of Shame website such as your “American Baseball Archives and Wax Museum” in Cooperstown, NY that you used to own in 1995 & 1996. Your “American Baseball Archives and Wax Museum” had a large collection of old trophy balls and very interesting artifacts and memorabilia on display such as that 1853 Knickerbockers Trophy Ball that was given to Henry Chadwick, now subject to the lawsuit between Corey Shanus and Robert Lifson. Where did you get all those items on display at the wax museum? It’s time to tell all Peter Nash! After all you own the Hauls of Shame website. We want to know the truth! What about the 1854 Trophy Ball you had on display at the wax museum and then you sold it for $72,050 back in 1996 which was a record selling price at the time and now that same 1854 Trophy Ball is on permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. MastroNet wrote in there description that the 1854 Trophy ball is similar in color and lettering to the 1853 Trophy Ball that Corey Shanus bought for $161,992 in 2003. Mr. Nash, where did you get these items from? Corey Shanus should depose you and put you in the hot seat! What about the 1903 World Series baseball once owned by Cy Young and donated to the Brooklyn Elks Lodge #22 that you sold in 1994 and was recently sold by Legendary Auctions for $65,000. Where did you get that 1903 World Series baseball that was owned by the Brooklyn Elks #22? See Link:

http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...y-Winning-Pitc

I noticed some of the items that you sold have BPOE No. 22 stamped on it meaning (Brooklyn Elks Lodge 22 of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks). For example the Henry Chadwick cabinet card you sold in 2007 on the back of the cabinet photo it is stamped with BPOE No. 22, see link:

http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2004/470.html

It’s interesting to note that Henry Chadwick belonged to Brooklyn Elks No. 22 and so did Abe Yager the sports writer that took over Henry Chadwick position at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Henry Chadwick’s cabinet card you sold has Yager’s name written on it and Brooklyn daily Eagle. Where did you get these items from? Why did Cy Young donate his 1903 World Series Baseball to the Brooklyn Elks No. 22 in 1953? Is it because this Elks club had a baseball collection and you bought it? Mr. Nash you go into extreme details about the items you write about on Your Hauls of Shame website so please write about the items mentioned here that you once owned. Intriguing minds would love to know the history of these items. If anybody else would like to know more about Peter Nash here’s a couple of links:

Peter Nash will be preforming with 3rd Bass at Warm Fest 2013 on Sept 2, Broad Ripple Park between 3:15 - 4:00pm Indianapolis, Indiana.

Rob.ert Fra.ser

Sunny,it was a joke.:cool:

Great post, Robert! Interesting stuff, for sure.

All right....a comeback tour!

He might be the sports editor for the Daily News.:rolleyes:

Wow...I just posted a thread about the 3rd Bass thing...had no idea...I guess a reunion tour was necessary...

If an autograph is authenticated and no one is there to whine...

I know who Mr. Fra*ser is.

I loved his first post.

What I don't understand, Travis, is that no one has a problem with you expressing yourself freely here on Net54, but on your (and Nora Roste) own website you have "selective membership."

Why is that, Travis?

Is it because you don't want me to post critical comments about your buddy Todd Mueller?

Is it because you want your (and Mrs. Roste) website free of controversy?

Just give me a honest answer, Travis.

The owners of "The Planet" wrote "The Roste's have teamed up to give you the full autograph collecting experience without the problems of infighting that is prevalent elsewhere."

Are you and your wife referring to Net54, Travis?

Should be "problems of infighting that are prevalent..."

Gotta fix that.

Not necessarily. It might be the problems that ARE prevalent because of comparatively rare infighting, or the infighting that IS prevalent because of the occurance of said problems.

I be an an inglish teachman.

It is, without a doubt, "problems are prevalent." In his sentence, prevalent describes the problems, not the infighting.

I would wonder if someone did not agree with them what would happen:p

During my short visit to that page, I got the impression that the discussions were between the 'experts' at the planet, and a small group of carefully-screened people, with most of the discussions being planet people responding to their own posts;i.e-Travis starting a thread and then talking to/with himself.

So unless they create a member and plant a 'minor dissension' thread, there is really no damage of anyone arguing with their expert opinions.

As has been said frequently in the past: "It's a very small planet."

I disagree and see no reason, syntactically, why that is so. It would surely be clearer to use a definite article to refer to infighting if that were indeed what were prevalent, but it is not necessary. You can say that your interpretation is true "without doubt," but it is interpretation only and therefore open to credible doubt. In fact, the vast majority of defining relative clauses modify by proximity, which means that in a case of ambiguity, we could fall back on the interpretation that the relative pronoun "that" is modifying the noun in closest proximity, which in this case is the aforementioned "infighting." However, you are using larger contextual clues to interpret that it is modifying the earlier-occurring "problems." That's a fair interpretation, but it is far from being "without doubt," and I revel in the fact that very few things dealing with language are such.

Wayne, that is probably the clearest and best thought out reply to a post of mine that I have ever seen.

Thanks bro. Something needs to have focus in what has become a mess of a thread.

No soup for you!

For some weird reason, even without meaningful input from 'the creator', Travis threads are often long and interesting....often for unintended reasons.

As Price Minister Peter Nice (AKA Nash) would say:
You bet your A** Motherf****ers! :p
What a load...

To CW
 

They must like people from Dallas. :D

A very interesting story that has been posted in another thread.......

http://www.strangefamousrecords.com/...24e6eb9d57c4fc

Tarred and feathered?

Lucky you, Rich...:)

Rich, why dont you ask the site to let Chris in and if not why?;)

5 of the last 8 posts were Travis Roste responding to Travis Roste's discussion. 3 of the last 8 posts were Dan B responding to Travis Roste's discussion.

I don't see much room for Chris.

Scott, you once again seriously cracked me up!!!!

Does Travis respond to any direct questions to Travis' posts, or does he ignore them like he does here??

Travis wins. ;););););););)

Ken, try asking him....

+1

Dan B is not me...obviously. I haven't tried to sign up but I doubt I'd be approved.

It's not a surprise that Travis hasn't replied to any of our comments.

Just amazing that he (Travis) is allowed free expression over here, but his (and Nora's) website is closed to "outside" participation.

His deflection post was pretty hilarious though, wasn't it?

It was.

Although I really thought Travis was more creative than that.....

Sorry, what post are the two of you talking about?
:confused:

Shelly, below is a link to the deflection thread that Travis started....

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=174807

Mr. Williams,

What in that tread is a deflection from whatever you are referencing? I just read it and do not see any post from Travis except the first one, which contains a legitimate question.

Travis decided to exit this thread when the heat was turned up on him so he posted a new thread. This is something he claims that we do to him on a constant basis.

Dave, the thread itself was an attempt by Travis to deflect from this thread.

I do believe a few other members here saw right through it and commented on it.

while I agree with most of Travis's viewpoints...he is a complete idiot with no social skills plain and simple. Big, dumb and stupid aligning himself with Steve Kocshal & Todd Mueller, arguably the biggest slime in the business (IMHO), ...was Travis jumping the shark. He is a broken record with much to offer, but he can't derail the train that's speeding 100mph out of control. When the Mueller-church connection took place, that was the last straw and one of the funniest things any collector can witness....lying and cheating all day (not travis) then preaching the gospel. It is god damned ridiculous is what it is. It's augmentative nincompoops and cheater f'ers that have completely turned me off to collecting....and Travis is a huge part of that mix, IMHO

Everything you say is true, but it's only the "cheater f'ers" who actually piss me off, but they don't turn me off to the hobby. Many of us keep responding to Travis because we do think that because of his knowledge, he could be much more useful to the hobby, so we try to talk some sense into him. At some point he might figure out that most of us are on his side, but that we would rather hear him share information than repeat his TPA rants.

And he (Travis) has yet to return.....

The problem is that there are 229 post and he is no where to be found. :eek:

That's funny, Chuck, "The Mueller-Church Connection."

I thought the funny part was Chuck bashing someone else's social skills! I actually picture Fudd as the bad guy from Johnny Dangerously, showing physical pain as he tries not to let loose a torrent of swear words. The Fargin' Icehole!!

Ken

Ken, your comment might be the perfect segue for Travis to come back.

I think Travis has me blocked. Every time I ask him a question on here, he somehow must not see it.

How could Travis possibly see your comment, Ken. He's on another "Planet."

237 Enough. Not going to answere and your only talking to yourselves.:confused:

Travis isn't on another "Planet."

He's on the "other side."

LOL I agree Ken,

it's just taken a toll on me & I really have nothing to add anymore other than to show my sincere disdain for the Church-connection and the pond scum which is Travis, IMHO
