I will let people see past their bias and change a few words and see if they get it now.

here's an ad in the paper from the north american veterans of america, of course a fictitious org. but you will see the parallels.



Enhance Your Credibility
When it comes to veterans, their reputation is of paramount importance. Those with the best reputations are members of the north american veterans of america. If you are known as a veteran who is not, your credibility may suffer. People will ask questions and speculate as to your reasons why.



Now do you see how that is scumbag marketing 101? Or is it just effective marketing that works so good for them?

Methinks you simply take this stuff way too seriously (especially for someone who says that they themselves are not a dealer).

Autograph collectors vs. military veterans? Really? I know that you are being serious, but it is becoming hard to take what you say that way.

And yet posting a link to an anonymously written internet article former ebay head Gonzalez purported said psa and jsa suck according to post.
, with documented lies and false information contained within the article, and claiming it to be the pinnacle of journalistic news, integrity and the truth should be considered any more ethical?

I see what you're saying here and I do agree somewhat. Personally, I HATE Corporate America and ALL their BS tactics. It's the reason I work for myself.

Corporate advertising in the autographs world. I'm leaving names out:

"After 30 years in business, during which time well over 1,000,000 signed items have crossed their paths..." That comes to 45.6 pieces per day per authenticator. Whew!

"$100,000 worth of quality new autographs every week...$5,000,000 paid out every year..." So on $5,000,000 he only makes $200,000 a year? Pretty lousy return...

"These generic LOAs differ from our premium documents in as much as they are preliminary reviews of the items and do not go through the rigors our full examination process..." Does that mean I'm just a little bit pregnant, Dad?

"Guaranteed acceptance of our Letter of Authenticity by collectors, dealers, and ALL auction houses worldwide..." Not really.
