Rich, this is why I chose not to go into journalism. Of course, Nash now owes Rob Lifson a lot of money and you don't, so take your victory lap!

"Continued milquetoast reporting from hobby frauds like Rich Mueller and Rich Klein at Sports Collectors Daily illustrated how so-called hobby news outlets remain in the pocket of assorted hobby power brokers. Klein published the most embarrassing post of the year when he interviewed Joe Orlando and tossed soft-balls at him asking about his college baseball career and the “fun and interesting people he’s dealt with.” Klein decided not to ask Orlando about all of the indicted people he’s worked with; the Mastro trim-job on the PSA-8 Wagner or the rumors he’s the target of an FBI probe. Klein and Sports Collectors Daily win our “Sycophants of the Year” honors, hands down (or hands out)."

I see from his website that Mr. Nash plans to publish a book in the near future featuring many of the recent scandals in the hobby. The guy registers at least a 10.0 on the chutzpah scale.

Will it be an autobiography?

I believe that Mr. Nash has been planning multiple book projects for a few years
now and has not made much progress. His "tell-all" book was supposed to be released in 2011.

He may rate even higher on the 'balls of brass' scale. There seems to be no upper limit to that scale.
