Posted By: <b>shelly jaffe</b><p>Mr Solis - still hiding behind your phony name on here I see. At least I have the guts to let everyone know who I am. <br />Do you even dare to admit who you really are? Who your forensic partners are in that laughable company of yours, (anybody ever seen a COA from them?, anybody ever seen a rejection letter from Frangipani or Morales?). Why are you embarrassed to post the fact that the Donald is your partner (that is so funny that you removed that web page from your site showing Donald, Mr Morales, etc). That page just vanished into thin air. Does the incompetent Donald know that you are embarrassed by him to the extent that you won't even tell the public that he is part of your company? <br />I was wondering what AUTOGRAPH cases Donald has ever testified to in court or been deposed about?<br />The Donald also seems confused about whether or not Mr Morales is his partner as seen in his SCD interview with Rocky. Partner, protege, none of the above, all of the above?<br />I had to laugh a lot when I read the response you posted about me. First you say, sarcastically, "Jaffe, there's a creditable source" Then in another post you quote me directly by saying Marino was bad on Ted Williams. First I am not a creditable source then I am. MAKE UP YOUR MIND <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.<br />The HBO show was for my benefit? Another good one. I was not paid one cent to help HBO. My name was not even mentioned. I wanted to show the collecting world what your partner and other authenticators skills were. I wanted to show collectors the quality of their work.I wanted to show people that a COA from Forensic experts meant Watch Out. Guess I kind of succeeded. 0-7 for the Donald, and he admits on the air how he makes so many mistakes. The worst Michael Jordan forgery I have ever seen and Donald and Morales liked it, they really liked it <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Even the incompetents at STAT got that one right.<br />You were sort of right about one thing. The FBI warehouse did contain some authentic items. About 95% of the items in the warehouse were bogus. But there was some Upper Deck and Mounted Memories, and a few others in the warehouse that were authentic. These items were eventually returned to their owners or given to charity auctions. I guarantee, and promise everyone here that every item sent to all the authenticators in the HBO show where bogus. All of the authenticators got at least one item correct EXCEPT FOR THE DONALD AND MR. MORALES.<br />I am willing to put up any amount of money as a bet if you think you can prove differently. You continue to call me out but when you do that you are also calling out the FBI and Tim Fitzsimmons liars..<br />The Donald himself admitted that he examined 475 items for me. Every item I sent to him was bogus. Every item I sent to him came from a known FORGER. He gave out a COA for every single one. 0-475, that is probably the most incredible statistic in this entire thread. No wonder you are embarrassed about being his partner. When I look at that I can understand why you removed that web page from your site that showed him as part of your company. Too bad the board cannot go to your website and see that page. <br />A point of information that all of you should know. While Mr. Solis keeps concentrating on Marino, there were other forgers out there. Some of them did a very good Ted Williams. These guys included David Tabb, Mike Moses, Mike Lopez and Angelo Marino. Another forger (possibly a friend of yours Rich?) supplied many items to B&J, to Madison Sports , to Shop At Home and other operators. <br />In the SCD interview, the Donald claimed that he always used exemplars when examining autographs. Yet on the HBO show the undercover reporter walked into his office and immediately got a thumbs up on seven forgeries, without Donald looking at exemplars even once. A virtual COA machine, that Donald. 0-7 on national television, way to go!<br />I actually cracked up when the Donald warned the reporter to be careful out there when buying autographs. That was really too funny. I can just watch that part of the show over and over.<br />In wrapping this up Rich, I just wanted to point to one last remark of yours that pertains to Richard Simon.<br />You said some stupidity about Indiana law vs. NY law. Well there are 50 different laws in this country, covering experts in court. Guess you could not figure that one out. Ya know, 50 states = 50 different laws.<br />This leads me to repeat an earlier question I asked. When has the Donald ever testified in court or or gave a deposition about an autograph case?? Actually I know the answer, but let us see if you are honest enough to admit to it. <br />Oh by the way, do you remember you and your friend coming to the table at the New Jersey National and all of us laughing at the garbage he showed us.<br />Have a good day Rich, I know I will.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
