Many of us (Richard, Shelly, David, Mark, myself, etc) have helped others for a long, long time giving sharing our knowledge and time freely.

I'd like to see a few of the people who post questions about autographs, taking the time to learn on their own.

There have been a few instances where an OP posts a question about an autograph and gets the "thumbs up" from a few members and then they list it on the B/S/T side and it's there that I will opine "That it's not authentic."

I'd like to see some effort to learn from some of these people.

And I'm not directing this comment to the OP here, but in general, I'd like to see some effort from the OPs who post questions about autographs.

I understand your frusteration, but I just picked up a joe D ball a week ago and asked for help on that as well. I'm keeping the balls as investments just don't want to get burned. I have been very very active on this board and am trying to learn as fast as I can, but there's no substitute for time. I can't have the knowledge people that have been doing this forever have. I'm trying. Trust that. Just wanna be 100%. You'll never see me ask and then post something for sale here. Ever.
