Heritage Hypocrisy

[shelly]

Scott, I did not help him. I said the way you make the biggest impact is to let the item sell. By telling Heritage before it happens only makes them look good. I said it on the last thread if you can not say who the person is do not quote them. This is how the country does business by saying some one said something but I cant tell you who.
I do have to say that not matter what you think of him he has helped save people a great deal of money.

Wayne, here's a site with info on dating baseballs: http://keymancollectibles.com/offici...uebaseball.htm

Also, I found other 1927 balls with the stitches reversed - no rhyme or reason to that.

Right you are, Shelly!

(Too bad your good buddy doesn't agree with you.)

You just did it yourself. Who are you talking about. I have lots of good buddy's

[David Atkatz]

Pardon me. Your good buddy Richard.

Shelly has encouraged me to do this, so here is the story I have about the ball.
Three people I communicated with have already posted their opinions about the ball in the other thread. Two of those people were negative about the ball (one went as far as truly mocking the authenticators (Ray Charles is pretty funny stuff) and one was Shelly.
The positive opinion on the ball came from Chris.
That leaves two people who have negative opinions about the ball. One was Peter Nash. I am waiting for the other person to answer my e mail asking for permission to reveal his name.

Scott, I think I forgot to say that the reason I felt no one should help Heritage. My thinking was the way you make an impact on this hobby is to show just how little you can trust anyone. If they had sold those baseballs the impact would have been so strong that Heritage would have to admit that mistakes where made.
Instead they just took them down and looked perfect in the eyes of the bidders. You have to remember just how many people read this site. If those pieces where sold and then found to be bad it would have been seen in many different places besides net 54

we (me and mark) just let the boxing items sell now, we used to help, they didnt appreciate it,

they would just take credit for our experience and our bailing them out and they didnt want to listen. they were patronizing and said that we didnt understand how big auction houses work so basically buzz off. we did buzz off. now the items just sell and then they can handle the returns and refunds and the embarrassment. we were more than happy to help below the radar in private if they would just appreciate it. they didn't. they had an attitude about it and now we are banned and couldn't be happier. the bad boxing just sells with abc and xyz certs. that's what they get.
