Interesting Article On Peter Nash

[David Atkatz]

Does any of this change the fact that so many of the "vintage" jerseys Halper sold to MLB for them to donate to the HoF were fakes? (And that Halper's stories of provenance could not possibly have been true?)
Or his well-publicized story--also a lie-- about playing under coach Jimmie Foxx in college?

Or, the irony of pointing out how unregulated, uncontrolled, and un-fact-checked internet blogs are. In your own blog.

i guess halper didnt do anything wrong then because the person reporting it is someone mr. 2% doesnt like.

No, it just means he's a vengeful crusader as opposed to a moral one!

As long as he tells the truth, I don't care about his motives.

He already gave his thoughts: He said it was "interesting."

My third grade teacher told us never to describe anything as either "interesting," or "nice."

Ken, so you and David are a team? I didn't realize that. Now I understand your previous response to one of my posts. I guess I have to respect your having your buddy's back, even if inappropriate.

I agree. It is a benefit to have an additional fine mind reviewing auction listings.

But it is not truth to state an auctioneer's mal-intent, for every listing on which an error is made. Auctioneers make errors, and auctioneers rely on people who make errors.

It is a good service provided to have such errors, or possible errors, brought to light, and to debate. but it is a dis-service to spread distorted truth with regard to intent, etc.

The manner of the message is at least as important as the message itself.

I wish such reports were a little less emotion and less repetitive emotion, and more straight analytical.
