Joe P.Mr. Andrews, I ditto Mr. PASJD's comment.
My name is Joe Pelaez, and I know nothing about bats, gloves and many other areas of sports memorabilia.
However, I am able to hold my own when it comes to tobacco cards.
With all due respect, what you fail to see sir, is that we are talking about fraud and scams.
We, the unknowledgeable ones, started talking about the existing problems within our own card hobby/investment, and the conversation eventually spread to other areas.
Asides from learning your name, we have found out that your hero has written books.
Also that he has kindly answered all your questions, and has charmed you.
Sir, I'm not saying that your hero is a Con Man, but you are describing some of the stock and trade of a con man.
If they can't get you to like them, they can't Con YOU.
I have met a few in my time.
Most likeable chaps you ever want to meet.
How sure are you that any one of the bats you own may not be what you want it to be?
