Posted By: <b>Chuck Tapia</b><p>My exact sentiments Eric. I quit for 10 years collecting because of this same stuff that we are discussing now. I recently had a home office I decided to decorate because I am not giving the Dodgers my season Ticket money this year or ever again so I thought this would be fun.<br /><br />Well, after a fake mantle here, a fake Dimaggio there, a fake Williams everywhere, I managed to settle in and do OK....I think. My friend says I was crazy for drawing all over a gem mint dimaggio that I thought was fake.<br /><br />I'm just about done now, but I appreciate everything the players here on the board are doing to try and clean the hobby up. I admire Shelly and doing his best to stand up for good instead of evil. I think he might have found his conscious in jail and that's agood thing. For now, I take my office full of fakes and have some batting practice with the Mantle Ball and draw mustaches on the known fake pictures that line my office wall. Keep up the fight.
