As I stated back then, I do not work for Peter Nash. He has asked me for opinions on some autograph items and I have given him those opinions and allowed him to quote me on his blog.
Funny how they would ban me for that (I never bid there anyway, so no real loss) but continue to employ a gentleman who is banned by the Hall of Fame for various "activities." And those activities were witnessed during those activities by a senior hobby individual and the materials in question were witnessed by three senior hobby persons after the activities took place.

I agree, where is the consistency? looks like the only look into someones activities if it benefits them to do so.

They say I was banned because I abused senior staff. What they didn't tell you is that I sent an email to Steve Ivy, the owner of the whole show, and the so called "abuse" was letting him know that his sports dept. is designating JSA auction loa's when jsa never looked at the item yet, and I considered that to be wrong. I never mentioned anyones name in the sports dept. and i never swore, used any expletives or foul language, and never threatened anyone. I did say that where I come from we consider something that is not true to be a lie.

Banned! But someone is barred from the baseball Hall of Fame library and no big deal, welcome to Heritage. great. I just love Heritage auctions, they send mr. Scheer or Mr. Kneerat but C. Ivy never makes an appearance. He's too important to be bothered. Like the New York Yankees say to George Costanza in the board room "We only wake you for the important meetings!"
