Now you want to back track and say based on fuzzy Yada Yada I didn't feel comfortable saying they were fake. But you felt comfortable saying that what YOU VERIFIED CHECKS OUT.
And what I am saying is We ( me included) need to be careful. Especially when these items are so easily tracked and researched.
In this guy's other thread, with the fuzzy pictures of T206 and "big cards" (T3), there were people commenting they thought his stuff might be real. People were offering to meet with him to verify. Do you want to go back to that thread and call those people out for enabling a scammer to rip people off?

What I said, that you've quoted above, quite clearly (to people who can comprehend simple things) says the INFO (that means INFORMATION) does check out. I pulled out Malta's book and compared to Clemente's bat ordering records. I then said I can't say if they are genuine. That is not an endorsement by any stretch of your imagination. Get a GU bat authenticated by John Taube that has a bad autograph on it and John will authenticate the bat, and then say he offers no opinion on the auitograph. In your mind, does that mean he's helping someone pass a bad autograph?

New people pop up on this site all the time. On this guy's other thread, there were comments about how restrained we were in not immediately ripping him. Even Leon commented on the board's general restraint. My comment on that board was:

You say you've been researching them, but still don't know what the "big cards" are?

[Mark17 shows a bit less restraint than others...]
But, if you want to single me out for not being quick enough to jump on this guy, so be it. Maybe whenever someone new comes on here, the rest of us should all step aside and let you render your immediate and precise evaluation on all things.

And by the way, if someone buys these fakes based on somebody on this board saying they can't verify their authenticity, that would be on them.
