Nash on Spence thoughts?

[Klrdds]

Peter I have wondered the same thing for many years . Some of Spence's mistakes are so obvious and egregious that they are laughable at times .

I think Peter Nash is the most knowledgeable memorabilia person in the hobby.

Those guys are clowns. I just wish I had come up with this racket first.

He is also one of the biggest criminals.

His blog post is a remarkable document, whatever opinion you hold.

The more I read about these authentication companies and 'experts' the less faith I have in anything in the signed memorabilia area. I have dealt with a couple of local dealers who have signings and/or I've known for many years and I will buy from them on the rare occasions I pick up a signed item. With very rare exceptions (things I sent to Bobby Shantz, Billy Pierce, etc) unless I see it signed I'm not spending $$ on it.

Remarkable when you can figure out which is truth or lies or made up fantasies he is telling. He is total scum.

I don't trust.

I can count on 2 hands the number of signed items in my collection - most are because I wanted the item and it happened to be signed. Nash clearly has some huge "integrity" issues. That said Spence (and other authenticators) likely does as well. To each their own - caveat emptor.

I don't disagree with that. The only way I could ever collect autos is on very official docs or in person ones..

Agreed...he flat out lied about me. I don't trust a single word he writes. He's yellow journalism. He uses a lot of "my sources say" BS.

Which of the two has done the most "ripping off."
Hands down, it's Spence.

Every single CoA issued, right or wrong, is a ripoff, as he won't stand behind it.

So are you saying the allegations in the link are made up?

I didn't open it. I think the guy is a criminal and is full of crap. Why should I go there?
If someone is a complete fraudster, constantly lying and committing fraud and otherwise doing really bad things while living a morally corrupt life, why should I? No doubt some of what he says is true. That is what keeps the lemmings going....but a lot/most of it is made up and total fantasy. I know that for a fact.

btw, I guess it comes down to not believing someone that is doing bad stuff, and has for a long time, ratting on others supposedly doing bad stuff. Note the tense I use.
