After a bunch of those were not authentic, I would think you would want to show pictures of these to give potential buyers peace of mind. I'm not accusing you of anything at all (just noting you have (or had last week) some fakes in your inventory last week), I just would think you'd want your sale threads to be as transparent as possible after that. If one of these guys who has PM'ed you isn't very knowledgeable about what certain autographs should look like, it would be a shame for them to end up with a fake if it could have been prevented.

Luke,

If I remember correctly, you believed that a Gary Sheffield from my 8x10 post was not authentic. However, I have exemplars that were certed by PSA/DNA that are pretty much dead on. I think that perhaps your notion that "many" of the items are not authentic is a bit off base.

I have no problem posting the pictures. I posted the items that I did the way that I did because I was incredibly busy for that day as well as the next three. Also, the photos, etc I could easily scan in, whereas I need to take pictures of these items. I am horrific at taking pictures, and the ones that I took are incredibly bad. As you can see from the Jackson that i posted, which is on a snow white ball.

I have also posted on the board and sold literally hundreds of items without issue. You may be right that perhaps I could sell more with pictures, and I have now taken quite a few of them. Don't mind posting them at all, but have been too busy since my originally hastily compiled set of posts to do so.

Tom,

Ok, I was just curious. And for the record, I have seen your name round on here for a few years and I have only ever seen one sale thread of yours with questionable autographs. I definitely don't think you listed fakes on purpose. You got them from somewhere though, and my concern was that you may have more that you don't know about. I could definitely be wrong about the Sheffield. I wasn't the only one to think that many didn't look right.
I was just looking for out for the buyers on net54. It's important to me that people only list authentic autographs here. If I were to list a bunch of stuff on here and some of them were fake (this wouldn't actually happen to me, since I acquired all of mine myself) I would hope and expect that someone would alert me about it.

Stop it. That is a late 80's or early 90's Jackson.

Understood and very much appreciated.
