Piedmont Cards / ACE Authenticated Babe Ruth Signed Silver Certificates

[travrosty]

If he is embarrassed, why hasn't he called up ACE and asked to be taken down off of their list of authorized ACE dealers then? I don't get it.

[David Atkatz]

What's not to get? He and Priddy are in cahoots, and they're both thieves.

[travrosty]

piedmont sport is acting like he had no idea that priddy was so bad at authenticating autographs, when obviously they had a previous long lasting professional relationship. how could you not know? he seems to be feigning surprise, in the meantime he has numerous mathewson and ruth's, more than any serious collector with unlimited funds could probably ever put together in one collection.

I heard a rumor that the Matty and Ruth autos were for sale at the East Coast National.

If that's true, it sure wouldn't surprise me.

If that rumor is true, we have a skank.
Very sad!!

[RichardSimon]

I am shocked, shocked to find forgeries being sold at a baseball card show.
Of all the card shows in all the towns in all the world, he walks into this one.
Justin, I think this could have been the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Round up the usual suspects.
Here's looking at you, Justin.

[travrosty]

of all the gin joints in the world, he walks into mine.

i think ace does a great job, proving quality, accurate authentications at an economical price providing great value to the consumer.

did we all throw up in our mouth a little bit reading that?

a lot of his michael jackson signatures are horrendous, and there is so many of them.

also a lot of his mike tyson. just horrendous in my not so humble opinion.

[Big Dave]

Justin is still listed as the Moderator on the Autograph Forum site, even though he hasn't post anything there in three years.

Don't know why he was ever offered that position to begin with.

[travrosty]

I hate it when dealers pack up early and clear out after noon on sunday.

It's not fair to the collectors browsing on Sunday afternoon. It should be if you pack up early, don't bother coming back. Or have a credit card on file that gets charged if you leave early, or something.

[travrosty]

Piedmont Sport is NO LONGER listed on ACE's website as an authorized dealer. Someone is reading this blog, doing damage control.

Thanks to Frank Prisco....I needed a good laugh today!!!

Re: Mr. Frank Prisco/Piedmont Sports

Dear Mr. Lucky:

Please be advised that I represent Mr. Frank Prisco. It has come to my attention that there is an Internet “thread/forum” that disparages my client and/or his business, Piedmont Sports. We demand that you immediately cease and desist having, holding and/or engaging in any Internet, telephonic, written and/or electronic discussions regarding my client. We further demand that you remove all of the “thread” that discusses my client and/.or his business.
This correspondence will serve as your legal notice under the provisions of Pennsylvania and Federal law to cease all communication with any parties in regard to my client. If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal Complaint against you.
Your egregious conduct is considered Trade Libel and is actionable and compensable. The publication of a disparaging statement concerning the business of another is actionable where: (1) the statement is false; (2) the publisher either intends the publication to cause pecuniary loss or reasonably should recognize that publication will result in pecuniary loss; (3) pecuniary loss does in fact result; and (4) the publisher either knows that the statement is false or acts in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity. As your counsel would advise, an action for trade libel is calculated to protect against derogatory statements that affect the marketability of a party's goods or services. Surely, these careless, false, slanderous postings have done exactly that.

I trust that these actions will cease. If you should have any questions and/or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Give this very important matter the attention it deserves.

Very Truly Yours

Egad.

[calvindog]

Pitiful. As if some ten cent lawyer letter will somehow prevent the discovery of rampant fraud in his operation. Frank, address the problem instead of trying to bully it away. You're losing any credibility you have; actually, that lawyer's letter probably just eliminated whatever remained.

[calvindog]

What's amazing is that he claims this attorney is his business partner - and she doesn't dispute it.

[Exhibitman]

Dear Ms. Brown:

Might I suggest that you crack open a law book before threatening people. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 [Title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1)] provides immunity from liability for providers and users of an "interactive computer service" who publish information provided by others: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." In Carafano v. Metrosplash.com, 339 F.3d 1119 (9th Cir. 2003), the court upheld immunity for an Internet dating service provider from liability stemming from third party's submission of false profile. In Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018 (9th Cir. 2003) immunity was upheld for a website operator for distributing an email to a listserv where the plaintiff claimed the email was defamatory.

In other words, tell your client to pound sand.

[Wite3]

How about people jump over to his Piedmont face book page and start posting there. He did post Tuesday. Maybe give his followers a heads up that he is now "missing."

Joshua

Seems he signed up for a new auction site too...webstore.com

[Wite3]

Oh...how about leaving him a review on his yelp site to help him out...

I am not so sure the adage "all publicity is good publicity" is true in this case.

[Wite3]

I clearly remember Mark Finn and this guy...it was just awful...Frank is one of the bigger scam artists around and would love to see his business shut down for good.

Why are there so many sleazebags in this hobby? Though it is kind of nice to be in a field where lawyers look clean by comparison.

[glynparson]

sets up at black angus antique market now. It is located in Denver lancaster county PA. It is about 15 minutes outside of Reading. Did not notice if he has ACe stuff out or not. Just walked on bye.
