I know that you, on the other hand, have never been fooled; you have never made a mistake. When you authenticate an autograph, you speak ex cathedra. I wish I had such skill.

But tell us, Chris, about your renowned Tom Tresh collection. Have you ever put your money where your mouth is? Have you ever trusted your own "expertise" by actually buying something worth more then a ten-spot?

(BYW, right now, this is between me and Chris. No one else. He goaded me, and I reacted. I could, I suppose, have taken the high road, but I chose not to. I've told Chris what I think of him, and I'm done. Chris, of course, can choose to continue this, but it's no one else's business. Let's keep it that way, shall we?)

David,

I get what you are asking, but could you guys just try to take this to a PM or your own separate thread, instead of crapping on all the other threads....

James, why don't you respond to Chris' posting, instead of blaming me?

I made a statement that in NO way was aimed at him, concerned him, or had anything to do with him, and he uses it to to get off a quick and completely uncalled-for insult.

Fu#k him.

Pardon me for "crapping" on your thread again.

I was simply responding to the "nobody respond" request...just a friendly request to both you and Chris. You both have a great deal to offer the hobby and those on this board and the constant bickering causes people to tune you both out at times.

I respect both of your opinions a great deal and feel the value you add could be worth so much if you worked out your differences and just squashed this already.
