Since you are being quite the instigator lately why don't you tell us how long it's been going on? I am sure there is more ancient dirt you can dig up too if you keep trying.

Sorry I am not dignifying Mr. Towle and his chemicals and crease removal with any lyrics.

Sorry.
It is true I am new and just saw this Towle guy and his website. I guess I just did not know you all were resigned to the existance of this sort of person. Sorry did not know there were threads from the past did not even know you could search for old threads. Fine jump on the new guy at least my heart is in the right place! CRIMINALS operating before our faces and we buy the product back like Tyler Durden said! Why is the Moser guy bad but Towle is not ? |

We did not say Towle isn’t bad. Not at all.
And we aren’t jumping on the new guy. Your flavor for posting just seems to be rooted in instigation. Please correct me if I am wrong. And we are in a time where there is a colossal amount of negativity. It would be nice to see more content that isn’t. Just my thoughts.

Towle does not catch as much flak due to the level of transparency. He announces what he does to the world. simple as that

I have no objection to soaking cards out of albums, and probably other minor stuff he does.

* New to the website but didn't research the topic. * Didn't know other threads have gone into detail on this. * Didn't know how to look up old threads (in spite of search button) who should get the hazing? As far as GWTS goes, it's rightfully controversial, but I'd hardly say criminal. They disclose the work they do, and, in some cases, even point out how to detect the work. To me, I disagree with some of it and I am OK with other parts. If I give them a page from a victorian album and they soak some T206's off of it, I hardly see that as a problem. We were meant to be able to hold the cards and view the backs (that's why they put advertising on them). |

I don't think Towle is malicious, or as malicious, as Moser, but here have been complaints and concerns, including on this board, that Towle's creations get into holders. So your question is not without a worthy point. There can be different intentions but with the same bad results. Personally, I'm of the philosophy that, no matter what the reason or intent, cards that have been worked on should be permanently marked to identify them. And if you innocently restore a card but do not make that clearly known, that is a problem and a fault. However, I also know that much of Towle's work is easily identifiable-- and even he has said so. As I noted earlier, he himself showed how some of his work can be identified under blacklight.

He takes out creases. He has touted his success. Anyone want to defend that?
