Please raise your hand if you think fraud in the baseball card collecting world is anywhere in the top 500 things the FBI is currently concerned about. Anybody? Do I see one hand up in the back of the room?

Fortunately they have the ability and resources to be involved with more than 500 things at once.

Wow just found it in water cooler section. And locked! Glad I didn’t buy anything in that auction because I’d have no idea what was going on with them anymore.

Whenever members want to throw snide remarks my way then the repercussions are not going to be what those members want. Just like when you said "so sorry" to me in your thread you wanted to be on the front page. And then when I have had enough with those members, those members will be gone. I have found that weeding out malcontents is not only good for me but good for the forum. Carry on.....and so sorry .

If legitimate questions about advertisers are now suddenly off limits, count me as a malcontent I guess. Not the forum I've known for all these years.

Yeah, and eventually like every organization on the face of the earth they sit around at some point and decide budgeting, priorities for the coming year, which things merit continued attention, staffing needs, etc. I see the FBI in the paper every day now. . . . .and it ain't about baseball cards. . . . .

You must have access to better information about what’s going on with them and this investigation than I do so I will have to defer to you.

This guy from Maryland has his hand raised. I believe, in fact I am quite confident, that this FBI investigation is real and matters significantly to the agent(s) undertaking it. I do not know how it will shake it, and I have no prediction regarding same, but I do very much believe that this is a big deal to the FBI agent(s) on the case.
