Oh my God. Travis are you really serious or you just being who you are.

I have been quite entertained by it, and learned a lot. Plus, we had both the auction house and the consignor participate, as well as several of the more-respected autograph guys.

You just can't look at it like a 3 hour movie that says 'to be continued' at the end, and then the producer runs out of money.

+1

i thoroughly enjoy and am fascinated by this thread, no snark or sarcasm.

this thread is a microcosm of the autograph side, and the hobby in general. different viewpoints and opinions colliding, if you don't have the stomach or faith for it then go collect t206.

nothing got accomplished except for the originator trying to toot his own horn and when asked what makes him an expert at vintage baseball, then he gets lockjaw. along with the "i am so smart i wont tell you why i think something is bad"

totally worthless from beginning to end. that is why authentication of autographs is at an all time low. we need transparency, not secrecy. psa and jsa are bad enough, hobbyists don't need to take a page out of their playbook.

if the ruth is bad, prove it.

Yeah Travis, but if some of us think we had fun, isn't that a good thing, even if we've deluded ourselves?

Okay, at this point I'm smiling, so it's a good time to say goodbye to the computer for the day. Hope everyone else shuts theirs down at some point, on a similar note.
