David - this will be my last post on this ,,,, I,ve recently sold 3 Matty's autographs all cert'd by ACE and aution'd another one off at Mile high arox. 6 months ago that makes 4,,, all these auto's passed the big 2 ,,, so i'm not stupid - and and not playing the dupe card - i will take whatever action i think is correct. And I will face Justin eyeball to eyeball -

Bullshit, Frank. Let's see even one "big 2" CoA for one of those garbage Matty cuts.
(And I don't think you're stupid, Frank. I think you're a crook.)

Wow! When I first posted this thread, I was just hoping to not get ripped off with the Ruth piece. I truly never intended for it to blow up the way that it did. I appreciate everyone's input in helping me to not get burned, but I didn't want any friendships to spoil over this. I believe that we all do this as a hobby...for fun. I'm sure that we all have very stressful jobs and that these recreational activities and hobbies are meant to build friendships and act as "de-stressers".

That being said, if anyone on this forum, or any other is INTENTIONALLY posting or selling items that they know are not authentic, then they deserve what they get. I don't know anyone personally on this board and I'd like to think that ignorance sometimes gets the best of all of us.

I'm new to Net54 and it is wonderful and I love to share stories, experiences, etc... with people that are just as passionate as I am when it comes to this wonderful hobby. Let's keep it light boys, otherwise we should just stay at work!

David, you have to stop pussyfooting around and tell people what you really think.

Sundance Kid: What I'm saying is, if you want to go, I won't stop you. But the minute you start to whine or make a nuisance, I don't care where we are, I'm dumping you flat.
Butch Cassidy: Don't sugarcoat it like that, Kid. Tell her straight.

I don't think this seller is stupid. He has been in the business, what 25 years. You would know better and understand exactly how tough it is to obtain even one Christy Mathewson and to have quantities that all look identical?

But why would he come here and expose himself like this unless he honestly didn't know and even expose ACE for what they are. Great thread!

What is the light test?

I may have to reevaluate my assessment. He may be stupid.
And a crook, too.

Moesalty, this thread wouldn't have gotten this long and detailed if Frank hadn't posted a photograph of his Babe Ruth signed note authenticated by ACE (Justin Priddy). That was the gas on the flames.

Can you link to the Mile High Auction? Six months isn't that long ago. It should still be cached.

Let me make sure that my math is correct here.

Do you mean that in addition to the thirteen (13) Christy Mathewson cut signatures that you had listed on your website, that you sold four (4) other Christy Mathewson cut signatures elsewhere?

That's a total of seventeen (17) Christy Mathewson cut signatures. That's what I call "the mother lode."
