Peter Nash and Hauls of Shame

[laughlinfan]

Not quite sure I am following your logic, but I'll take the bait! I don't think anywhere in my post did I indicate any sentiment that I am OK with Pete. Quite the contrary - if he did the things that he is accused of, I hope he gets everything that is coming to him and then some. I also hope that if the folks he points out in his articles did the things he has investigated and alleged, that they similarly get what they deserve.

Regardless of how I feel about Pete, that doesn't change the fact that if he is truly pointing out other legitimate instances of fraud, I am happy the information is out there.

So back to your question - if your murderer credibly points out someone else who is a murderer, regardless of his intentions (revenge, redemption, or redirection), I am glad both have been identified, and hope both of them get what they deserve.

Like many have said, if he paid his dues, made restitution and quit his shenanigans then this would be a different conversation. Until that is done it's hard to get past the messenger to hear the message.

Quite a big "if" at the beginning of your statement.

I know of items that he has listed on his master list of "stuff stolen from NYPL, HOF, etc." whereby owners of the items have literally gone to both a) the curators of the library and b) the FBI with basically a story that "if this belongs, we want to give it back".

In each of those cases, the items have been forensically analyzed and returned to the owner.

Aware of what he is accused of having done, I don't trust that what he says now on this site is true. I'm sure there are parts that are true, but without full information, including his motivations, I consider it all suspect.

His motivation? He is trying to rid the hobby of people like himself.

Aloha, Just curious, is Nash a convicted felon? How about a list of notable people in the baseball card and memorabilia collecting community that are convicted felons. dave pierson. (never been arrested).

Wow. Seems like you don't know who to trust anymore.
