Wow Leon, a felony for weed?! I'd rather not live in a state where that's possible.

To be clear it wasn't weed. It was pills. I was selling them and I was completely in the wrong and got what I deserved for doing it. Personally I don't even like pills. It was to make money. I am so glad I got caught and got out of it.

Hey Leon,

It was in the past. You paid your dues.

As far as I am concerned, it makes no difference to me. We are here to talk about baseball cards.

We got your back here at the Forum.

Thanks Howie. I prefer to focus on good things and not be defined by bad ones, as Peter Nash is. I agree, we are here to talk cards!!

+1 As Leon pointed out, he owned up to his mistake and paid his dues. When your time is served, probation or parole completed, you have served your debt to society for the mistake that was made. Putting "ex-felon" in front of his name was juvenile and unnecessary. What was the point?

Someone's panties were in a twist.

Sincerely, Clayton

I thought having to moderate Net54 was part of Leon's sentence.

I do not know anything about Nash but find his blog entertaining.

sports-rings · #7 07-30-2013, 08:02 AM

I found the blog interesting and entertaining too, until I see how he really turns on people and goes out of his way to make them look guilty and awful when he has a personal vendetta against them.

Some had warned me about him but I was too stupid to listen, until now.

I hope Nash gets put behind bars someday.

On top of being a fraud, MC Serch carried him in 3rd Bass. Sad I knew this guy as "Prime Minister Pete Nice" when I was a freshman in HS. Hard to find much nice about him.

Best,

Andy

Holy Cow, a thread about Peter Nash and HOS and Travis hasn't posted...what is up with that?

BTW, Leon you are tops in my book, whatever happened in your past is your business, not ours.

Sorry, Leon. Thought it was pakalolo. Either way, Nash's reference to your past is totally irrelevant to whatever point he was trying to make and only lessens his credibiity.

earlywynnfan · #11 07-28-2013, 07:44 PM

I have to wonder: where will Travis post first: here or on HOS?

wonkaticket · #12 07-28-2013, 07:51 PM

I�m just amazed folks still listen to this guy as much public record stuff is out there on him, and as many unsavory acts that he has been tied too. The fact that folks tune in to hear about fraud from a fraudster is mind boggling. I must be in the minority on this but it�s mind boggling.

Just because he has a website doesn't mean people listen to him. I would be interested to see how much traffic hits the website that thinks negatively of him because he does nothing but shit talk.

I agree with you John. But I must admit, as a relative neophyte when it comes to vintage and pre-war baseball cards, I wouldn't have known anything about the guy if I hadn't read it here. Oh, I'm sure after reading some of his articles, I'd have delved into his background (I, too, look to ascertain the veracity of information I see, and the character of the person saying it). That's just how I've been programmed to think (question everything, the mantra of a broker in the post 9/11 world). And referencing what was said here earlier, there could be a lot of people heavily involved in our niche of the hobby that do not read a forum like Net 54 or CU. Those people might just accept what he writes at face value. It is an unfortunate reality in America today. Too many look at words on the internet, and accept them as the Bible.

I wish more people would openly question what they read. The impartiality we could count on back in the days of Walter Cronkite is gone forever. Now, far too often, when something is written, it's done with an agenda.

HRBAKER · #15 07-28-2013, 08:13 PM

I think the deserved notion that the hobby is rife with misdeeds makes people curious regardless of the source.

ThoseBackPages · #16 07-28-2013, 08:19 PM

This thread has raised my respect level for Leon.

More power to you Sir for turning it around

I agree Wonka but I don't think you are in the minority.

You aren't in the minority. I used to visit his site for entertainment value, but
after his shot at Leon, I will not go there again.

See you all on Wednesday. Hopefully more people here will realize that we are all on the same side, simply by being honest people, and the infighting is ridiculous.
