Posted By: <b>Chuck Tapia</b><p>Mr. Morales,<br /><br />I have to side with the jailbird on this one. First Shelly, I want to thank you for all your pleadings and your attempt to do the right thing, and I hope I'm not out of line with that crack about "jailbird." It is nice to have you on the side of the industry that we all love. Chris, I want to thank you for sharing your view points as well. Where else can you get so many fountains of Mis-information all in one place?<br /><br />Seriously though, Chris, you are really sliding down a slippery slope in what you are doing. You are using your talents incorrectly. You really are not an expert in the sports and celebrity autograph field and you are trying to push yourself off as one. You credentials are great, for anything but hand writing analysis. You are duping the public, but most importantly kidding yourself to make a buck. You will never be able to distance your self from "The Donald". Unfortunately you got into bed with a doofus and there is no turning back I'm afraid. Not entirely your fault probably, but facts are facts.<br /><br />Until you make a conscious effort to do the right thing by our hobby and quit the crap you are doing, you will face this the rest of your life. You really should join forces with Shelly and form your own company, called Frick and Fracks Cracker Jacks Authenticators and use your talents to combat evil people like the wads you are in bed with yet again. Right out of the oven and back into the frying pan. I guess, when your work is so questionable, you don't have that many options. Maybe you are just stupid and don't know what your doing. I think not. I think you know exactly what your doing and tell yourself your are doing a good job, just like Roger is telling himself he didn't Roid up. <br /><br />I have no alliances here, but am merely a collector that you are turning OFF OFF OFF. Do the right thing and quit putting out the crap certifications you are now doing. Then and only then can you repair your reputation which is pretty important. Much more important than the piles of money you are making. Shelly's giving it a try and I'm starting to like him, you sir are a disgrace to the human race and also our little hobby.<br /><br />Chuck
