So Denny,now that you guys are bidding on this fake Wagner, how long will it be until someone tries to sell a fake of this fake?

Baseball cards have no race.

Leon,

Thanks for posting the indictment.

So what's to stop other AHs from doing the exact same thing as Mastro did?

The software used by most AHs these days is created by a third party and it doesn't allow the AH to see your max bid. Certain AHs, Heritage and Hunt's, allow house bidding so buyer beware.

id be willing to bet my left one and my right one(nut that is)...to you that if it is hosted on a linux server i could easily tap into the database and reverse whatever basic max bid protections are in place, if any.

Fine, I don't know what I'm talking about.... Until I find more dealers that are willing to sell stuff for what I want to pay, I'll keep going this "auction" route... Although we can't really call them auctions, right?

Is it really that simple? I can say I have items from 5 AHs is the past year and 4 went below my veiling bid.

I think Mike O is a good guy who has done his best tackling a "beat" that means a lot to us and diddly-squat to nearly everyone else on the planet. Before pillorying him for what he doesn't report, please consider the fact that he does not report in a vacuum or with total autonomy. What gets published is not his decision alone. He has an editor and publisher who have to want the story out there and have to approve it before it runs.

As for Cobb-Edwards and their Bogus Honus, their race should be irrelevant but I wonder if their race and socioeconomic class aren't part of the reason why their story gets so much play. Perhaps their narrative is more compelling than that of the dozens of morons trying to sell fake T206 Wagners all of the time because it contrasts so vividly against the backdrop of a wealthy, predominantly white collecting base?

Edited.

It grows old responding for the straw men. I seriously doubt they are allowed in the courtroom, so why bring them in here?
