Some of you knew for a long time that David's 1927 ball was a forgery and you kept it a secret.
Thanks...I guess.

Wow, this coming from a guy who admittedly knows ZERO about autographs.
This is the same guy who was defending the Huggins & Scott
Babe Ruth signed ticket, but yet knows ZERO about autographs.
Geez, Dan, would you have defended that Huggins & Scott
Babe Ruth signed ticket if Huggins & Scott wasn't a Net54 advertiser?
And by the way, Dan, I was the one who infomed Atkatz that his "1927 Yankees" baseball was not authentic after his avatar caught my eye. Before that, I had never seen David's "1927 Yankees" baseball. Then later on Atkatz would claim that he sent it to a friend of his, who told him his ball was not authentic. Atkatz will never admit that it was me who informed him first that it was not authentic. As a matter of fact, at the time David and I were still cordial towards each other, I sent him a message that read "nice ball." I didn't have the heart to tell him it was not authentic.

We allowed him to forge for decades?? Really?? Is that what you think??
We allowed him?? Can anyone make a dumber statement on this board than that one??"
We do what we can and we (the pro-active collectors against forgers and sellers of forgeries) hope for the best.
I agree with Richard when he wrote
