Travis, I respect your opinion when it comes to boxing. That would be as far as I can go.

Disagreeing with a Third Party is fine and perfecty acceptable. Its the intent of the original poster that makes a thread a "gotcha" thread, not the content per say.

If you honestly want an opinion and you post a scan of something with the TPA along with it, you will get more help. People want to help out.

If you PURPOSELY conceal the other opinions on the item hoping to get some drama out of it, thats what people are tired of on here.

Agree or disagree but those with knowledge on here want to help those who genuinely want the help, not feed the drama that is killing this forum!

Did I not post everything. This was not a gotcha and I think I have almost always posted the full picture and cert. If not then you are correct it was a gotcha. For that I am truly sorry.
I would also say that sometimes it is fun to find out what people think before they are told what someone else thinks of that item. I really believe it helps not to know if a tpa said it is good. It is only there opinion no more no less. If people cant form there own opinion before they are told what someone else thinks. Then the TPA"S do own you. Why is it a gotcha if you dont agree with the gods of the hobby. Maybe there wrong is that even possible for anyone to believe?

No, you did not.
Stop playing your absurd games.
If you want help, you post everything--all pics, where the item can be found, why you are asking, etc., UP FRONT.
You didn't, and you never do.
Then, when you're called out, you put on the innocent act.
It's gettin' old, Shel.

I'm far from an expert, but it looks to me like the slabbed yellow Ruth card itself is a fake. The picture and the red caption bottom line up a little too closely.

Am I wrong?

I think you spend too much time trying to beat up the people who you have lined up in your personal feuds, and not enough time sharing whatever knowledge you might have.

And I'll promise others here not to turn this particular thread into a battle. David, either ignore me or make fun of my lack of expertise and perhaps throw in a few insults. You get the last word (or not), so enjoy.

very good, i was just joking, but also making a point that the hard and fast rules about ruth's signature are pretty much worthless because i dont trust the tpa's to know ruth, and i think ruth has jumped the shark a long time ago, with so many exemplars that are bad infecting the exemplar files that a coherent decision on any ruth signature that is not on an official document is a carp shoot and these services might as well flip a coin for the same 50/50 chance.

On HOS we saw Ruth signed cards certed by the big boys abc, xyz and also one on coaches corner, and before i read the thoughts of the author i had thought the CC one was on par with the rest, so what does that tell people?

It tells me that the companies would probably cert it if it came from a trusted source, and not cert it if they were told it came from CC.
