I think you already do, Travis.

Seems to me that Dan Bretta's assessment of Heritage has been right on.
I have to say that I totally agree with him.
Jonathan Scheier, executive of Heritage, comes on the board and makes a spurious charge which implies that I allegedly work in conjunction with a forger. He knows that is a lie.
If the person who is named as the Cooperstown Forger in another thread is indeed the person that Jonathan is referring to then yes I have been asked for quotes by that person for his blog. Yes, I have been asked to give opinions about autograph items he has questioned. Yes he asks me questions about the autograph business. My name is out there on his blog. It is not a secret. But to imply that I work with him, in the way you do, is ridiculous.
Jonathan, you posted on Net54 in a very clever way, I will give you that. Your use of the word alleged in the slander you used against me, covers your butt and your companies butt, I am pretty sure. But you worded it in a way to embarrass me when you knew that the truth of the matter would not embarrass me. The truth of the matter is out there for everyone to see and nothing is hidden. Your vile implication totally distorts the truth.
But what to expect from a firm with an employee roster such as yours.
Nice work Jonathan, you certainly fit well into the organization that employs you, the organization which has been well described in this thread and others.

I am in concurrence with Richard, I think it's petty the person actually writing the response from the auction house doesn't man up and come on here directly, but send their little "clever" message through a third party trying to paint with a broad brush. And it stinks, frankly, but it is what I have come to expect.

Are customers and collectors with a real concern just flies to be swatted away? Or howitzered if need be?

Heritage auctions has MEARS authenticated items in their auctions all the time...Dave Grob works (worked?) for MEARS...Dave Grob also wrote at least one article that appeared on Hauls of Shame.

I DEMAND THAT HERITAGE STOP ASSOCIATING WITH DAVE GROB AND MEARS FOR THEIR CONNECTIONS TO THE COOPERSTOWN FORGER!!!1

(nothing personal Dave but Dan and I are on the anti hypocrite patrol and it would be a shame to leave out Heritage).

Please excuse my ignorance and/or stupidity, but am I to infer from this thread that Peter Nash is allegedly the Cooperstown Forger?

The same Peter Nash who has a website dedicated to exposing fraud in the business? Allegedly...

I'd like to make it clear that I think Dave Grob is among the best at what he does and I know some of the guys at MEARS and like them all. It's Heritage that I have a problem with.

The other thread, running now about Heritage, named Peter Nash. I have no idea who the Cooperstown Forger is.
