If it’s the real deal, why is it so hard to sell?

Default 1881 Dubuque Rabbits Comiskey Photo 50K

Good question--First time I decided to take an offer my original 144 year old Dubuque photo to a National, 50K is a lot of money for most collectors--my daughter doesn't want it, or any of my other collectable, already sold my Cobbs, Ruth and Gehrig's, Cap Anson cards, was sad to let them go but we all have to face the future of reality versus being sold at garage sale. ( still have a couple thousand autos and vintage cards need to figure the best way to let them go )--I guarantee this photo is authentic and hopefully can be under another collectors watch for the next 35 years!

We had our employee write letters to various notorieties many years ago during the last baseball strike, famous movie stars, sports, military, political, etc many are now deceased.--as example he wrote to many Medal of Honor winners, like the flag raiser at Iwo Jima and Desmond Doss as in the movie Hacksaw Ridge--99 percent of autos on Index cards, all in index sized holders, the rest on 8 x 10 photos and letters, I have a numbered inventory, although not completely up to date since I've sold a few through the years.

So ears is Fake news? Science is wrong about ears being fully formed at birth? Maybe 12 years ago there was some debate. Mostly among people trying to represent their questionable photos, Like yourself here 12 years ago. But Ears is a slam dunk. And we know from your past sales what your guarantee is worth. I hadn't planned on going but it might be worth a trip to Chicago just to witness this live.
As for anyone considering buying an autograph from you. They should be prepared to eat TPG fees when they come back Questionable. This last part is not an opinion unfortunately I made the mistake of believing Tom's guarantee and paid the price.

Default Fake News

Yup you and your Ears Expert (whoever that is are Fake News on this one, and dead wrong ) and just ignorant to the facts, you've been brain washed on this one--please don't get your shorts in a knot, and be mad or jealous just because you'll never own it. -- Heading to Chicago -yes please plan to attend, I welcome you and please bring your ears experts with you (PS: remember no guarantees were ever implied when you asked , only a full refund if not satisfied, I don't owe you a dime, I refunded you the entire $145.00 in full thru PayPal. )

(On the autographs 10k will buy them---)

( Johnathan, I found the email I sent you Pease read again to refresh your memory***I honored my terms in full.**--Quote :P/S Please Note: I can only guarantee a full refund your purchase price of 145.00 if not satisfied upon receiving the card back --if that's not agreeable I will refund your145.00 before I ship the Lebron card-- let me know before I ship the card--thanks again!)

Default Dubuque Rabbits team photo authenticity Questioned .

Tom The previous autograph you sold is just sludge under the bridge. Especially since you have taken your shady escapades to new heights. If you really wanted to get proof that that is not Comiskey you could simply submit your photo along with some known Comiskey photos to a company that could uses the technology referanced in my link above to give you a definitive answer. It is after all a ( cough..spit) 50K TEAM PHOTO. surely it's worth the expense to get it certified. No?
Or is it as I stated above just an exercise in finding the
one person with the means that falls for your Guar..en..tee..that it is good. Then they can spend their own hard earned money finding out what it is and who you are...

Default 1881 Dabuque Cabinet photo Highly Questionable.

Look I know changing someone's mind that is trying to pry someone's hard earned money selling a photo he has been repeatedly told for at least 12 years is NOT WHAT HE SAYS IT IS, Seems like a waste of time. But hear me out. Every time someone stands up and pushes back on this type of nonsense it creates a digital trail. A trail that hopefully will show up and open the eyes, and close the wallet of someone thinking this might be real.
I saw that parts of this 1879 Dabuque team premium were shown 12 years ago look at it for yourselves. The 1879 Dabuque team certainly looks the part of a Small city's semi pro ball club. The 1881 photo is not remotely similar. And is almost certainly not a Traveling semi pro ball club representing a city the size of Dabuque.

Default 1881 Rabbits Dubuque team photo NOT the 1979 Team

You finally got something right, my photo is 1881 NOT 1879, Radbourne and Gleason were gone, Comiskey was trying to organize a new baseball team in 81, thanks for clearing this up, I've been trying to explain this to the forum, my photo is dated 1881-Thank you. Comiskey, Quinn, Tom Loftus, and Ted Sullivan were still in Dubuque playing baseball. Thanks again!

For the baseball historians --this is the 1881 roster for the Rabbits Ted Sullivan took to play the St Louis Browns. FACT, it was said the Rabbits uniforms resembled pajamas.
