I'd like to respectfully respond to member "TATSR." First of all, I'd rather listen to an honest person that is maybe obnoxious and "lacking communication skills" than a smooth-talking crook. Second, I am "tomtresh2." I'm the person that's been doing those videos for two years now exposing the garbage in the hobby. And long before I was exposing that garbage on video, I was writing for approximately 10-12 blogs about forgeries in the hobby. I don't mind the criticisms as it comes with the territory. And I've always stated on video that I am more than willing to embarrass myself in order to expose the garbage in the hobby because it's the right thing to do. Even if I didn't have one supporter of my videos I would continue to do them because I want those that distribute and sell that garbage to know that there are people watching them. And yes, I probably do lack "certain communication skills" but as a stutterer all my life doing these videos aren't always easy, but doing the videos has been very therapeutic for me on a personal level. How can a true buyer/seller/collector in the hobby sit by idly without being furious about what is going on in the hobby. I can't, and that's why I do the videos despite the threats and personal attacks. I'd like to respectfully ask Mr. Tatsr, what is his contribution in the war against sellers and distributors of forgeries? I also want to state, and I've always said, that my videos are not meant to be educational, they are there to expose those that are ruining and diluting the hobby with garbage. Maybe you, Mr. Tatsr, can begin producing educational videos on autographs as I would love to watch them. But that's not for me. I tried educating buyers for years about autographs and they don't want to listen. Believe me, I tried, Mr. Tatsr.
