Open letter to STAT and Christopher Morales

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Richard S. Simon</b><p>Mr Morales - <br />You won't reveal the names of the dealers that you said Mr Jaffe talked to about employment.<br /><br />You won't reveal your exemplars to the public.<br /><br />You seem to not want to reveal anything that will prove the points you are attempting to make.<br /><br />You have also not answered a key question. Are you truly a Questioned Document Examiner? The information on this thread from the AAFS seems to contradict you in that regard. Can you please clarify this point.<br /><br />And does it not make you wonder that the prices achieved by CC with your certs. do not even approximate the estimates of CC, let alone the prices achieved by other auctions? Does it not make you wonder that the prices achieved by CC are fractions of what dealers and auction houses would pay for authentic autographs?<br /><br />Does it not make you wonder when a Cap Anson ball with your COA reaches the rarified heights of $800?<br /><br />Does it not make you wonder that CC seems to have a never ending supply of the rarest HOF autographs in the hobby, when other auction houses rarely get those signatures?<br /><br />You state that you and other colleagues accessed files, etc. Who are these colleagues?<br /><br />Why not just show those McGinnity and Waddell letters. Just those two items would give your answer a modicum of credibility.<br /><br />And how about the exemplars for:<br />The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, John F. Kennedy, Orville Wright, Eric Clapton (with the members of Derek and the Dominoes and Cream), Jefferson Airplane, The Band, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Grateful Dead, Charlie Chaplin, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Allman Brothers, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Who, Sitting Bull, Boston, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, Bobby Darin, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, cast members of The Godfather, Caddyshack, American Graffiti, the Wizard of Oz, and The Blues Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Buzz Aldrin, KISS, Frank Sinatra and the "Rat Pack", Bob Marley, Muhammed Ali, Neil Armstrong, Clark Gable, Cole Younger, George A. Custer, and hundreds more. All of which are carrying your COA's, as per Mr. Panagopulos. <br /><br />---<br /><br />I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.<br />Unknown author <br />--<br />We made a promise. We swore we'd always remember.<br />No retreat baby, no surrender.<br />The Boss
