this kinda stuff freaks me out

Yeah I've wondered that myself

....The memorabilia side of this forum has pretty much gone to hell

Edit to say: Apologies for the negative tone of the post, but we're beating a dead horse with the eBay Ruth, Mantle, et. al autos.

I agree..I think we should call out bad items but we shouldn't focus on that. Matt

Fair enough. But, can't we put 'em all in one-thread?

Perhaps I could put a sticky at the top as a sort of "watchout" thread where all bad autographs, and fake memorabilia could go? That would be up to Leon though...I don't mind them either way, but I probably wouldn't read them if I weren't a moderator.

Dan, I think that's a wonderful idea.

I get the feeling there are a lot more of "us" that would prefer to see it configured that way.....rather than having to wade through the latest Coach's Corner (weekly) thread, or eBay Matty auto'd ball thread to find the true memorabilia posts.

No disrespect to the auto collectors (I collect sigs too), but this side of Net54 has become very 2-dimensional.

Bring the sanity back, Leon!

That would be wonderful...and a lot less depressing!

I've been thinking the same thing for a while. Half the threads on the memorabilia side are about ebay fraud, incompetent autograph experts, stolen material, or some related topic. I agree we should have a single place to post all of this stuff. Every time somebody sees something bad on ebay doesn't mean we need to start yet another new thread.
