One of the reasons that I keep a blog on my website is for me to archive my own long-winded responses to questions or issues that pop up repeatedly. So, when the issue or question comes up again, and I see it, I just copy it from my blog and paste it back into Net54. I have probably re-posted my "Grading Pyramid" comments on here a half dozen times -- usually when someone is perplexed that not all PSA 3s look alike.
For what it's worth, I went through the old Net54 and cataloged as many of the T206 threads as I could find by topic. I put those on my website for people who want to read all of the T206 thoughts of this board circa 2008. For instance, there is a post about the "F" stamp going around this morning. One of the first discussion points for that renewed dialogue is there.
But, I don't think most of the new people who come here are really looking to do any research. For most, you come here and you ask your question hoping to get a quick response. It's easier than Google, because you get a response from a live person, as opposed to a machine-generated list of potentially accurate answers.
I think there are certain explanations that are worth giving over and over again ad nauseum. However, the "is this Wagner real?" question is not one of them. The question explains itself -- if you have to ask, then it is fake. Period. You didn't just win the lottery. You didn't just stumble on to an ebay auction that nobody else saw.
