Spalding Ford Frick Ball - Not What It Seems

[dtp717]

I'm definitely late to the conversation, but I was shocked by what I began reading yesterday, and these attacks on Brandon have been bothering me since.

Al, I'm sure Brandon is just devastated that he'll never make a deal with you or your ridiculous emoticons ever again. I've got to say between you and Paul and Jerry and a couple of other folks on this thread, I'm deeply disappointed in how easy you all throw around accusations about a person who has gone above and beyond to help so many of us out with questions and concerns about vintage baseballs.

I first corresponded with Brandon when I had a bad eBay experience where someone sold me a fake ball. He couldn't have been more helpful and I've gone to him for valuable advice many time since then.

To think he'd throw away his hard earned reputation over a $20.50 ball is lunacy. It makes no sense.

The hobby of collecting is run everyday on the guise of the confidence game. You gain confidence in a person/company until you believe everything they say or do.

It is the invention of ones self and once you become a believer you are forever captured

Doug,
Your right you are late to this conversation.
1) Go back to post 38 and read it Brandon himself says "I made a 20.50 mistake"
2)As for dealing with him I stated my opinion as you stated yours. I could really give a damn either way.
3) I only posted once in this entire thread.
4) As for yourself I give no weight to a person who has only posted 2 times and given nothing to this board. Looks to me like a person who is friends with Brandon trying to save his @ss.
