But his Allan Hager expose was the funniest thing I ever read in a hobby publication. Besides Hager deserved it. The other side of the coin was his pursuit of early autograph authenticator Richard Galasso. It was a bit too much like the villager’s pursuing Frankenstein with torches and wood pitchforks. And Galasso being deserving of it was not so black and white.
Ah yes, how many different definitions did he come up with for the acronym BCFE in that article. A good read, that mag was.
