Yup, I think that's the winner. And it isn't over. As more and more card issues are proven affected, that might be the one that changes autograph collecting as a whole.

I think it is sad that the “best thread” of the past year would be the signed T206 scandal.

Not a thread where new information about the cards we care about or a new set being discovered but a thread about some a**hole forging cards.

Also, enough with the cloak and dagger crap, who is doing this. I see NO benefit in keeping the entire hobby in suspense, there could be other fraud that has been perpetrated by the guilty party that is still being passed down the line by other collectors/dealers. If I have done business with the guilty party I want to know that. The suspense reeks of self-importance by those “in the know”

I don't think it's fair to Leon to say he is being "self-important." He explained his reasoning, apparently he was asked by law enforcement not to post the name.

Where did I mention Leon? There is more than one person “in the know” as many of Auction houses have knowledge of the situation, as do several collectors on this forum. I saw what Leon said and I respect his decision not to mention names as he was asked not to, that being said I have a hard time understanding why it must be kept a secret. I see more being gained by letting people know the suspected individual’s name as I am sure there are other victims that may have no idea they are victims.

I think the Recent Pick Up threads are some of the best threads throughout the year.

I really hope a name is released by someone. While I understand investigations are ongoing, it would also be nice to have that info public, to prevent further purchasing, selling, and allow everyone to review their own collections accordingly

That's probably the most important thread but my favorite was the Top 5 pieces thread.

I loved opening that thread and seeing all the great, diverse stuff people collect.
