Were these programs real

Gotta love those gotcha threads...the autograph guys really love 'em.

I was confused as to why you would post this. From my recollection, you should know as I think you are fairly sharp about memorabilia. Obviously it was thrown in with the other two to set it up as real. Post auction, it's a moot point. I don't have anything against you, it just seems stupid to post this.

So it's stupid to ask whether it was real or not because I'm not a expert on scorecards and wanted to verify that members post was correct and that it is a fake.

Let's put it this way...when you post about an item that you think might be fake and there's a good reason you think it's fake it's nice to tell us why you think it might be fake when you start the thread. People were doing this on the autograph side pretty frequently and it can get people cranky. I don't know what your motivations were, but on the autograph side it was usually a gotcha game designed to embarrass someone.

I shouldn't have wasted the time writing about the Sox/Cubs city series if all this post was about was playing gotcha.

On the contrary, I really appreciated your post on the other program and the history behind the city series, Gary. It's those little bits of insight that make me keep reading through threads that I may have lost interest in otherwise.

He addressed this in his first post. He said he saw that the ones w/o trademarks were fake but was confirming it. I think we need to be careful about guessing forum members motivations especially when it's an experienced member. The other guy that got booted, Mr.Ruth, was playing games...and that is most of the reason he is now banned.

I'm confused what you guys mean by gotcha.


Is this forum not for people to ask questions? Did I not ask whether they were real or fake. Did I not state why I thought it was fake. And I was going to send this thread to the auctioneer to show it was fake. But no point now.

Sorry I thought this forum was for collectors to ask questions. I won't ask anything else just post pictures then.

That's not it Brock. You did nothing wrong (at least in my eyes). The bigger our forum gets though, the more yahoo's it attracts. Some of those yahoo's cause trouble and act like idiots. Unfortunately, those kind of people taint it for others.
It seems as though people thought you already knew and were testing them or something? Heck, I don't know. I just like to collect and have fun......

[thecatspajamas]

What? Have fun? Where's the money in that?

[slidekellyslide]

I apologize to Brock for not following the thread closely enough before spouting off...I was already cranky from what was happening in the autograph forum (surprise!), and my Private Mail.
