Richard--

Maybe "playing both ends against the middle" is more accurate. I don't blame ANYONE for trying to get as much as they can, but when no one has bid even $2500 for 1 of the letters & he has been told by various hobby contacts that the asking price is way too high & they aren't worth the $50 to $75K some of those articles & comments led him to believe, he doesn't need to tell falsehoods along the way.

Default I disagree with Richard on

One aspect:

I do think George Steinbrenner will be in the HOF Some day. Having said that, I think they are trying to get as much as they can for the items but I'll reiterate what I said to them in each email.

The best bet for them will be to got an hobby auction house who can help them sell their items.

Default email

The person sending those emails emailed me privately telling me what he did and apologizing for it. I hope he doesn't do it any more.

While we are here there was an idiot on another chat board that insinuated other chat boards might sell or give out contact info. That is not something Net54baseball has ever done or will ever do. If your contact info is on the links page then it is there....otherwise it's in a very private file. Again, I/we have never sold or given that info out for commercial type purposes. It has been given out on a specific basis, when warranted, with regard to board happenings. regards

I'll go on record and say that this email did not bother me one bit...in fact I learned a little about George Steinbrenner that I didn't know. I also believe he'll be in the hall of fame someday...and I also disagree with Richard that Hall of Famers are where the money is...it won't matter one iota if Steinbrenner makes it to the Hall of Fame, his signature will be sought after because of his place in baseball history.

Anyone got any cheap Buck Weaver autos they want to sell me?
