T206 green portrait Cobb centering....SURVEY....updated

I have refrained from posting but here ya go

First let me say there is no discredit campaign. No one will find any evidence of this anywhere. Also Ted and I, along with a few other collectors have made great progress on the T206 set over the past several years that he takes full credit for. The credit does not bother me, it is the inaccuracies.

Unfortunately several things have happened during the last year that has made it necessary for me to distance myself from Ted. I have kept these situations private between Ted and myself but he continues to believe that I am attempting to discredit him and he posts these beliefs publicly on the board. So after posting my name in this thread with allegations of me conspiring against him I feel forced to have to at least acknowledge the situation though it is not what I wanted to happen.


Anyone that knows me knows that I am a positive person. They also know that T206 tough backs and the research of the set are what I enjoy. Most important to me are the facts and keeping the information as accurate as possible for the benefit of all collectors. I don’t have any desire to be considered a T206 expert or a Net54 superstar. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for Ted as he has knowingly put out misinformation about the T206 set and when this was brought to his attention rather than correct his mistake he went to great lengths to maintain his position including crossing ethical lines and I will not be associated with this behavior. These actions are not only unnecessary but detrimental to the progress we have made over the last several years.


It is not my goal to come onto the board and air out all of the details of this and other situations that happened between Ted and myself or to try and discredit him in any way. I do have more than enough information to back up the things that I say and hopefully will not be pushed any further and this can all just go away without additional posts, hard feelings, or negativity.


Lastly Ted believes that I am the cause for separate disagreements he is having with several long time hobby friends however it is Ted and his actions that are the common link in all of these situations not me.


I’d like to get back to discussing cards and focusing on the positive in the hobby.
