The SCDA trip

The question I now an answer to is that we received airline ticket (pd by SCDA), transportation to Mastro,a bottle of water at Mastro, they let us use there bathrooms (really nice),lunch, that included a beer, Old Mastro catalogs that wirhed a ton and Dan Knoll scraped me up a Mastro magnifying glass out of his cars and transportation back to the airport. That is the extend of anything of monetary value that they sent our way.

There actually waas a reporter on hand that will be writing an article for SCD on the whole meeting, maybe that will satisfying your need for a professional report. Ijust don't understand the response that tell us how we were suppose to handle ourselves the questions to ask when everyone single one of us had a chance to go and handle it our own way.

Steve, You seem to have alot of questions and trepidation I am curious as to why you did not volunteer to go, you said you followed the situation closely. How many bats have you sent off to SCDA and PSADNA, why chose 2 different authenticators? What is the history behind your bats that made you believe that they are real? I believe that all of us could come up with scenarios to your story that you have created the story to help authenticate and enhance the sale of your bats. This is just the nature of the beast. It is the type of evidence tied to your bats that will decided the degreee to it's authenticity.

All the questions you pose about the whole Heinrich situation are valid and were brought up, there response (please don't ask me what it was)led us all to believe that they were telling the truth. If you don't believe, then I guess you will not be buying that bat if it ever comes up for sale.

A note about SCDA, they do not give out a letter of authenticity, they give out a letter of opinion, this was changed after the board thread.
