What do you photo guys make of this?

This is a piece of crap created by him from scratch and you guys should know that. You don't get that kind of understanding by googling it. It takes years of experience and sorting through a million photos. Not by quoting fancy terminology you got off the Internet. You get it in the trenches. Photos are war and you need the scars to prove it.

Josh, is it true that your sister works for John Rogers helping to sell his photos on ebay?

I am sure Josh will answer this, but I wanted to chime in. His sister, who is very nice, was/is selling for Josh on ebay under the listing name tique I believe. Josh may have fired the first shot across the bow, but it was directed at the Net54 members only. He did not try to indict family members.

I wasn't trying to indict his family member, the criticism wasn't against her. I just thought it was unusual that he would bash Rogers if his sister worked for him. Of course, I could be wrong about his sister's job.

Not a problem. I understand your point. I just checked and if you do an advanced search for seller tiqu you will find several hundred listings and at the bottom it specifically says "Lelands......"

Well, then that's good to know.

Jeff:
Yes, you are 100% correct that my sister used to take photos on consignment from John Rogers. Not sports stuff so many here would not notice or care. However there is no john Rogers anymore at least on a day to day basis in the Arkansas operation. Actually she is now selling for the creditors who have been bilked by Rogers. She has her eyes wide open with regards to the collection and is one of the most knowledgable wire photo people in the business. I know because I taught her. As for other "photo guys" on here I am just surprised that no one called this out as a Rogers fake. It's simply obvious. By the way, do you know how long it took me to go through a million photos one at a time. Doing it about 6-8 hours a day it took me about five years.

Oh yes and tiqu. That is not my sister. It is my 80 year old mother who sells photos for me on eBay. She loves doing it and feel free to contact her as she loves hearing from hobbyists. But be nice Jeff, thats my mom.

As long as your sister isn't presently selling photos for John Rogers -- and she was selling photos for him while he was committing daily fraud -- I'll be nice.
