When a fellow collector asks me specifically to show him something--what Kid Elberfeld's signature looks like, for example, I consider myself obligated to do so. I consider it the "price" we pay for participating here. (Although "price" is a bit of a misnomer--I really am happy to help. Sort of "paying it forward," for all those who helped me.)
Chris was asked by two people to show Jeter's signature evolution. He refused.
He was asked by a prominent (and deservedly beloved) collector on this board to help in understanding Mantle's signature. Chris told him to figure it out himself.
We all have our buttons, Leon. One of mine happens to be the "I want you to know that I know--but don't ask me to tell you how I know, 'cause I won't tell" statement
I should have kept quiet, but I just hate to see that sort of thing.
