Hi, Peter.

You are talking about Nash, and not the person who left the post you're quoting, right?

Best,

Eric

[ullmandds]

yes Eric...corrected for clarity!!!!

[Wite3]

I wonder if Nash's debtors can claim the site as part of the outstanding debt. Where is Jeff L. when you need him?

As to the site...it is like any news outlet lately...wonderfully self serving and one sided "reporting."

I read it regularly and find it very informative, but as with anything memorabilia/ autograph related I take it with a grain of salt.

[Rich Klein]

I read it. Peter is a great researcher but his vendettas don't help the hobby. As the old saying used to be "If only he could use his powers for good"

BTW -- Web sites don't take much money to operate.

I agree with Rich. I have read most of 'his' Babe Ruth stuff. Once I found that he had posted one of my tips that was previously unknown to the hobby, crediting it to someone else, I couldn't resist seeing what he would plagiarize next. He did the same with information we posted here regarding the SACO baseball cdv that was quite probably seriously altered.

If he really wanted to win honest hobbyists over to his new-turned leaf, he would not be plagiarizing our work.

Wouldn't the author of the website be in deep poo poo if all (any or most) of what is written is false? Wouldn't the author be opening himself up to a libel suit?

Do I want to believe any of it's true? No.

Do I feel any of it is true? Yes.

Can any of the attorneys here comment on this? Is there a statute of limitations on theft of this type of material? If there is, doesn't that only mean that the perpetrator of the crime cannot be charged? Doesn't the article in question still belong to the original owner, even though the statutes of limitation for the theft has passed? Wouldn't/shouldn't the article be returned to the rightful owner if it is found or recovered?

Jeff,

Do you have a moment to comment? Would be greatly appreciated.

Fred, it looks like it varies by state.
