You and the photo-match Mark each get one of these for troll-feeding:

Scott,
I know. I know.
I'm sorry.
I'll even give myself one.

Here's the thing. The mention of a "point system" got my attention for a couple of reasons.

I first heard it raised by a major AH in opposition to my pointing out (in a net54 post c2009) an obvious ear mismatch in one of their lots. According to their "point system", the guy was JJ. This was related to me in a phone call by a "friend" of the AH. As best as I can tell the AH has since reformed.

Also, IMO, it doesn't sound like something the OP would propose on his own. I speculate that he is getting some "help."

Something like a point system may be used for computer screening of, say, thousands faces in an airport video camera being compared to a database of terrorist faces - the computer is liberally looking for a set of possible face matches. After the computer selects possible matches, the list is fed to a skilled human to do the real comparisons using methods frequently discussed on net54.

That is very interesting. This all makes sense and fits with Lance's post a few prior to this where he theorized that the OP did get another AH interested, so he brought the subject up again.

Mark, I was just messing with you.

It was annoying to see the bogus Comiskey appear in our forum again - if posters like this guy can't be banned, another idea might be to ban certain topics once they have run their course of uselessness.

While I do agree with you Scott about stopping certain topics when they run their course, it probably does eventually help out bad auctions like this Comiskey. I'm a religious reader of Net54 but somehow missed it the first time around and that thread last week was my first view of the bogus id of him. Now I can't say I'd have been fooled by a dishonest AH slipping this in their auction (for God's sake anyone can tell it ain't him!!!), but other could have. This tread though redundant may have saved someone a bundle.

Whatever AH does put it (and that phoney Joe Jackson military) in their auction should be held responsible by the hobby. knowingly putting that junk up for auction is in my opinion worse, more dangerous and incredibly costlier than the usual Coach's Corner hijinx we see every month.

Question: Have you ever had someone say to you. Hello, why after all these years, you haven't change a bit. (Did they look to your face, or your ears?)

So in retrospect are the opinionate saying , the Kid's face is a dead ringer for Comiskey. The Facts may be too convincing so he ears comparison may be the only way out?--

Here is something I really find troubling. I was told, just write the names on the back, everyone is doing it! Sorry now that's fraud.

Why is everyone up in arms when another hobby collector has another opinion?

Quote Runscott--It's Ok for two people to have a disagreement.

Jerseygary: There is a much more here at stake than money.

Please don't ask to censor future new ideals or opinions on this forum, that could be dangerous too.

FYI: I mailed my work to the HOF, the Chicago History Museum, the Smithonian, the Comiskey family and emailed SABR.--( Fact: not to any auction company as claimed )--

[bmarlowe1]

Fact 1: I received a hi-res scan of your photo from a major auction house in 2011. They said it was from a consignor (or perhaps they meant a potential consignor). If it did not come from you, where did they get it?

Fact 2: Your photo will actually appear in a SABR newsletter that will come out very soon. Should be interesting.

I'm glad that you don't always do what the little voices tell you to.
