Interesting people. I asked a simple question like seven other people did. Yes or no would be easy. You came on here and said you would answere questions.

[David Atkatz]

Why don't you ask your buddies to answer some questions, Shel?

Oh, yeah, you did. (When you said you were waiting for those you respect to speak up.)

Too bad they're not as forthcoming as the consignor.

Not you Shelly some of the others. Seems guys have taken a hobby that we used to love growing up and totally bastardized it. I will answer questions because I have nothing to hide. The story I have told is true,

I was just curious if it was ever offered outside of the auction houses. Thats it and thanks for the kind remark.

Earlier in this thread, Josh from H&S stated, "The consignor is NOT in our hobby and is not a collector of sports memorabilia ..."

Was he mistaken?

Other than Heritage and H&S, has any other dealer or auction house reviewed this?

he was not mistaken. I used to buy pieces in the 70"s when my parents went to antique shows (older yearbooks and stuff like that). Collected cards like other kids but stopped collecting when I went in the service

[David Atkatz]

The consignor has been completely open and forthright with us. He has quickly answered every question put to him.
Don't you think Chris, who started all this, should be held to the same standard?

I have read this entire thread and I do not think anyone intends to call you out or question your honesty rscheck. Opinions differ on here vastly, but it really is about the auto and nothing personal.

David,

At this point I just don't care anymore. I had to pay for a $1200 car repair yesterday and Michigan lost....if I continue reading this thread I am probably just going to go off on someone and get kicked off the forum.

I am bowing out of this discussion.

BTW what 7 people asked me anything? I offered to speak to Chris and he left me one message, no return phone number, I PM him told him when I was available and never heard back.....sorry shelly but I am an open book

[shelly]

I never said you where not. I just asked a queston nothing more. I understand you never had to come on here and I give you credit. If you do not want to answere ok with me. Its that simple.

Honestly I dont. It was 1992 I realize that would make it easier but I dont

I must say, this guy Chris is going to look like a big fool if he doesn't produce something factual and provable that substantiates his allegations.

Going to?

[JT]

David,

I know he hasn't produced one iota of anything to back up his allegation. I am sure he is doing "legwork" deep into the night trying to find something.

I personally wouldn't make such an allegation unless I had the proof beforehand, but that is just common sense to me.

When you found out your 1927 ball was fake, you said you asked a member who you respected lot. Just wondering if that member has offered his opinion on this Ruth yet?

he wont, he's a "trust me because i said so" type of guy. the very first post on this thread was disingenuous, when he asks what others think of the ruth auto. it was a setup from the beginning. he couldnt close the deal though. that would involve breaking the secret oath of the royal order of the scarlet mongoose lodge. if me and mark dont like a boxing auto, we show 'why' every time and answer anyone's questions on why we believe it to be bad. we would supply as many exemplars as needed and asked for and wouldn't hesistate to show why. it called transparency and being accountable. anyone can do it this way and claim top secret CIA clearance.

[Mr. Zipper]

My friend Chris is no fool.

I can't speak to the Ruth. But if this is the work of an active master forger, it would be foolish to publicly announce the tells, and essentially provide a blueprint on how to make a more deceptive forgery.

I'm sure you've realized it by now... Chris is an ass.

[shelly]

never mind

[JT]

Shelly,

You asked him this question before and he answered you as I quoted above.
