Now, I'm not naive at all about corporate greed in America, and we all know that there are examples of filthy rich companies in every field committing fraud, especially in Wall Street, but I just don't believe this is the case here.
Nor do I believe that the motives of the accusers in these types of threads, are to save the collecting public from the greedy big auction houses and/or TPA's. In my opinion, their motives are self-serving, and I for one, am insulted with their non-stop barrage of propaganda and exaggerated analaogies. Jimmy Catanzaro

I agree with you, Jimmy. I, too, do not believe
"That the motives of the accusers in these types of threads, are to save the collecting public from the greedy big auction houses and/or TPA's."
If Travis really cared about the "collecting public," why didn't we hear his outcry about a auction house owner who outed the high bidder of a Walter Johnson signed photo in an attempt to convince everyone that the Walter Johnson signed photo that the auction owner certed was authentic.
When someone questioned the authenticity of that Walter Johnson signed photo, the auction owner publicly informed everyone who the high bidder was to convince everyone that the Walter Johnson signed photo was authentic. And even though the website where the auction owner outed the high bidder is now as dead as Julius Caesar (the website went the way of AutographAlert), I saved the screenshots of those comments written by the auction owner.
Where was your criticism of that auction owner when he did that, Travis?
