Scary future of our hobby

[tazdmb]

I wrote JSA as to what happened, expecting either the blow off or Boiler Plate answer. I must admit I received the nicest letter from their Office Manager, Jackie Thomas. She explained everything to me and agreed that while she did not believe the signature was altered (we agree to disagree) that information about the signature removal should have been disclosed to any buyer. She, personally, considered altering as no "patching or tracing" was done to the signature itself. Additionally, she invited me to meet with her at the National to discuss the matter further, which I am considering.

So for all the bashing we do for the TPAs, I think we should also recognize the good also. Jackie, when it comes to customer service, is outstanding.

I have no idea. If you read my other thread regarding the National, JSA is going to change their COA, that is one point for the good guys. The "Rube" knows of this conversation and I am sure that person will read this thread, since they banned me from their group after my last post. However, they quietly refuse to post here and prefer living in shadows. JSA knows the group of people who submitted the Ruth and they have officially been placed on their radar to watch for additional altering, so we will see what happens.

Autograph 101 is the worst. Half the stuff up there are fake, half the people there are clueless. I disagree with the notion they care about the hobby, they just care about how much money they can get for the sig...real or fake be damn.

And let's not forget about the lawsuit revolving around members of that community. It's amazing that anyone has stuck around in that group after this:

I enjoy Autographs 101. Like most other groups, including this one, has a few dumbasses, multiple entertaining and knowledgeable peeps, and a lot that fall in between those extremes.

I enjoyed it also, partially for all the fakes veing sold, until I called out an altered Ruth signature that was being sold. JSA, who even certed the cut, agreed it was altered after bringing it to their attention. BOOM, immediatly banned after starting this thread for noting the facts (not opinions, facts) of the signature.

That is what is wrong with teenagers/20 year old kids running the hroup. They think that since they are on the internet, there is no consquences for their actions.
