They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but I don't think this is good for SGC [or GAI]. A full page blast from a major newspaper: |

If the comments regarding "restoration" can be attributed to James Haas and not to sloppy reporting I think SGC/Forman should sue. |

I agree with Matt, it makes no sense. It's sour grapes from Hass that SGC only gave it a 9 after his company called it a 10. Seems to me like the one being held "Haas"tage here is SGC. |

Funny that Haas needed SGC to grade his card so that he wouldn't be accused of self-interest with regard to GAI's grade -- yet GAI, his company, is the only one that gave the card a 10. Gee, funny how that works. Perhaps he expected his 'old friend' to give him a 10, too and, when it didn't turn out that way he got angry. I can't blame Dave Forman for asking for a release before giving the card back. |

in terms of circulation and public perception, the larger the potential damages GAI faces in a likely lawsuit....if they weren't in financial straits before - they will certainly disappear and owe alot of people a ton of money should legal action eventuate. |

If I had to guess, Haas is more concerned about his Mantle than GAI. After all, that one baseball card is worth a hell of a lot more than his entire stake in GAI. |

David was president of Teletrade which ran massive ads in SCD for a while. Prior to that he was a NY dealer who did auctions and shows alone and with NY dealers Gary Moser and Gerry Schwartz--two guys with an impeccable reputation |

To each his own,,, I see it fairly often, on the East Side, with kids on street corners giving it away for free in what I believe is a desperate effort by Rupert Murdoch to increase "circulation". |

The Post's circulation is not the issue. The problem here is that a half a million people [probably a lot more] read about a shady incident which makes the Hobby look bad. Not a good way to attract new blood. |

The circulation I was referring to is in NYC only. The Times is a "National" newspaper and gets a lot of its circulation from outside NYC. |

I forgot that I had a copy that used to be mailed to me at Beckett, but you can be put on an e-mailing list to recieve the NY Post and that is a free service. I also get the Daily News and NY Times highlights emailed to me for free as well. |

I've seen stacks of either the Post or Daily News for free on 14th Street - they give it out to subway riders and pedestrians along with AM New York and the Metro. Not really the issue here, just validating the fact. |

Welcome to the board.....There are no tickets to the Net54 dinner...except drink tickets when you get there....It's open to all members of Net54 Vintage Baseball Card Forum....which would include you. As the time approaches I will post a thread to take RSVP's for the dinner. (probably a month or so before the National) It's imperative that whoever wants to attend RSVP. There is a great chance that folks who don't RSVP won't be allowed to come to it....Everyone that RSVP'd last year was able to attend....and I think a good time was had by all. I will issue a small word of caution though....Anyone coming there to not have a good time, or get into arguments, is not welcome. I will have Charlie B and his big friend (I forget his name) get my back .....best regards |

You can throw whatever pitches you want. Gary has a lot of knowledge and the board would benefit from what he says--I just think he is unlikely to be responsive to the fastball under the chin. |
