Latest Hauls of Shame Post

The article makes reference to REA as being Net54's biggest advertiser.

If I'm not mistaken, is REA not an advertiser here at all?

Flubs like that would make me question the veracity of everything on that site, if I wasn't doing that already. That seems like a pretty easy fact to check. If that one isn't being checked, how many others aren't?

Rob Lifson does have banner ads on this site and is certainly an advertiser. His ads are usually quite prevalent. I appreciate his patronage as I do all of the advertisers.

REA has a banner ad even as we speak.

I'm really sorry to hear Nash is now trashing Leon too.

I had asked Peter to come on and reply when Leon wrote the post about Nash recently. Although Nash feels it's ok to twist things and call out others, Nash won't ever address his many many shady dealings.

Peter, am I next? I did cheat, in grade school, so you can refer to me as a cheater. But unlike you, I do pay my taxes, and have never stolen anything.

Leon look on the bright side at least you can step foot in all states without being arrested for outstanding warrants can Pete do the same?

The other allegations made about REA with respect to the Spalding collection are more troubling. Are those true?

Why don't he post about himself in the haul of shame? Then I'd have more respect for him and his articles.

NY Post has a story this morning about the NY Public Library fighting to retrieve their missing items.

The article was written by KATE BRIQUELET and quotes "memorabilia blogger Peter Nash".

She too uses phrases such as "Sources familiar with the probe" without naming any names. I get the feeling she did minimal if any research, and just took much of the information from Peter Nash's blog.

I wonder if she knows or cares about Peter Nash's past?

I would have been proud to be a member of the Rantz Luckey Gang.

Leon,

Sorry I won't be seeing you and Scott at the National this year. Hopefully next. Though I won't be able to partake this year, your efforts in organizing and hosting the Net54 dinner are much appreciated. Regards,

Ken

Leon, with all the money changing hands and all the shady things that have happened in the card/memorabilia business, there are sure to be accusations, smears, and insults thrown at prominent people. If this is all that he has on you, or on Rob Lifson, then, in my opinion, you are doing pretty damn well.

Here’s the other thing about Nash that just amazes me. He’s so freaking transparent how do people not see this? He tries so hard to come off as sophisticated, intelligent and caring in regards to the hobby.

However anyone who knows anything about Peter Nash or takes the time to read what is public information can see he is nothing more than a man with a list of legal problems, tax problems and outstanding arrest warrants.

It’s so painfully clear what Nash’s motives are. The whole site is nothing more than a smoke screen to make himself feel better and to draw attention away from his very public issues. He attempts to do this by writing these long drawn out articles in which he drops every name under the sun from Obama, Selig, Lifson, Halper to now other forum owners woven into these Oliver Stone type plots of corruption and espionage.

When he attacks say Barry Halper which he waited until the man was dead to by the way. I can’t help but laugh as he points out “everything seems to lead back to Halper” no kidding the man amassed one of if not the biggest baseball memorabilia collections ever. He was a high profile very public wealthy collector with an appetite for the stuff…hell Pete would have been selling him stuff along with perhaps a few “special” Pete Nash items if he had the chance. Who knows may be he did?

If anything I see Peter Nash wanting to be a Halper, wanting to hang with Halper, drop Halper’s name around town etc. now years later Halper is just another victim in the smear campaign of a man with an agenda hiding from his woes in cyberspace.

Did Halper have stuff that was questionable sadly no doubt. I also think many of us would have had bad items had we built and acquired a collection of that size. In fact Halper would have been and was a big target for the unsavory of the world to work their trade.

The one thing Mr. Nash has in common with Halper is many items seem to come back to Halper…well just as many seem to come back to Nash. Yet strangely that Hauls of Shame article is not posted. Why because in the end the man who’s ridding into town on his white stead to save the hobby is nothing more than a two bit huckster himself. Sort of funny that “Prime Minister Pete Nice” who adopted years of a tough guy persona in a rap band turns out to be an internet dingus. Seems Pete isn’t kicking anyone in the “grill” these days he’s hiding like a little girl spreading rumors and innuendo afraid of being kicked in his.

To me the only thing worse than a criminal is a criminal who pretends to be the law.

I eagerly await Peter Nash’s coming clean the day that happens I will personally ride along with him to help clean this hobby I love up. With that said I think I can keep my schedule pretty open because I don’t see Pete ever coming clean.

+1 I couldn't have said it better myself!

This should be posted on the autograph forum...most of his Net54 fans hang out in there.

from dingus to internet dingus. That's sort of a progression, right?

John, going back to his days as a hip hop "star", and speaking in their vernacular, I believe he is doing what is referred to as "dropping the knowledge".

It's very sad that Nash had to resort to such shameless tactics that have no relevance to the topic at hand.

I've had countless dealings with people in this hobby the past 20+ years and I have to say that Leon is definitely one of the stand-up guys I've dealt with and he's without question one of the people I'd want in my foxhole when the going gets tough.

In contrast, it seems so unfair that Leon had to go through this public attention yet there are a plenty of scam artists in this hobby that have lied and defrauded a lot of collectors out of a significant amount of money and never even so much as been questioned by law enforcement for their nefarious deeds.

mark evans · #17 07-29-2013, 11:18 AM

Just one more comment in support of Leon: a class act and a tribute to the hobby.
