Its no attack on you, I just think the idea is flawed.

I know Leon disagrees on this topic and nothing is going to change, but it sucks to be criticized (if not attacked) by someone using an alias login. Why can't people use their real names, are you ashamed of them?

Peter,

I don't think Leon will allow personal attacks without the real name disclosed--maybe he feels our friend Wally Post is on the edge--his explanation is bs.

If it is ok to press out wrinkles/creases in vintage cards, why do anything else?

I mean take one week to practise on Topps. Then do some Goudey commons. Buy them, decrease them, resubmit them, sell them. Use the profit to finance buying HOFers for decreasing. And in no time you will be earning $50K per week. Add it up - a two notch bump in grade. You can do six per hour easy. So, you put in full 4 hour days. Thats two dozen HOFers bumped two grades per day!

And it is legit, the auction houses say.

So why do anything else?

I absolutely OPPOSE using aliases where this kind of behaviour is concerned. WP needs to make his name known to those that he is sparring with. Nothing personal. It's a board rule. Anyone would have to. A few times I have found out peoples full contact info, via email, and supplied it to all concerned parties. The rules of the board are that you can NOT remain anonymous in these kinds of situations. Please step forward WP or email me privately....thanks all

Teddy:

As early as c1977 there were attempts to nationalize this hobby in the way stamps, coins,... have been. No attempt has ever been successful -- you can give me a call at work early next week and we'll discuss.
