Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>This thread is absolutely fascinating and I honestly think that while Mr. Jaffe has had issues in the past, he has redeemed himself with the HBO special and now this.<br /><br />A few general comments as I skim by most of this in hopes of catching up later.<br /><br />First off, if you really want to compare prices, simply go to the prices realized section of the last CCSA auction to see some rather outstanding prices from the previous month.<br /><br />Next, there are a lot of great autograph dealers that simply shun the idea of giving an opinion. I think in politics, it's called Nimby-ism's, or Not In My Back Yard-isms. Let the other worry about it. Autograph fraud effects us all. I would like to see people more vocal as part of the success of the pre-war market comes because autograph fraud has really tuned people off and people have discovered a brand new love in vintage cards. I know four prominent collectors who quit buying autographs. Autograph sellers, it seriously effects us all. Sellers, take a stand. <br /><br />Shelly, I think you have to interview Sports Collector's Digest. Call up Jeff Pozorski or T.S O'Connell. I think some serious questions have to be directed their way, especially since it doesn't look like STAT or Morales are coming in anytime soon. Keep digging though. Post the interview here on the Forum. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Bob<br /><br /><br /><br />
