'William Tell Research' Autograph Authentication?

[Leon]

For the record I am also having some doubt about the original poster of this thread. I don't have the 2nd part of his registration, his contact info, and just emailed him to get it. If I don't get a response he too will be banned. I have a sinking feeling that this whole thread was a shill......I hope I am wrong but .......This new board s/w and processes are earning their keep.....

Who didn't think this was all but a lark to promote a little know authenticator who according to his site, had complained about eBay's autograph policies to the government and perhaps some staged banter between friends could help accomplish some goals.

As some of you know, I collect scans and I went through my large (thousands and thousands) library and just randomly picked out a few for you to all enjoy.

1) Gehrig Ball- Coach's Corner Sports Auctions, 8/2006. Sold for $900.
2) Gehrig Ball- Ebay, removed on 3/4/06
3) Ruth Signature- Ebay, removed on 1/7/07 and removed on 3/16/07.

Want more, "Mr. Green"?

Shout out to danc, who called it imediately.

My guess is that Bluebird has a web site somewhere that sells lots of items with William Tell certs.



Also Jodi, dont forget Paul McCartney.

You guys crack me up. Everything is a huge conspiracy. Sorry I had the nerve to ask for opinions on this guy. I must have an ulterior motive.

If I may quote Meet the Parents, "....I'd say you have a future in espionage."

Do you really blame anyone for thinking it could be a set up given there was already a shilling troll in this thread?

edited to add one other thing.....in looking at a previous email exchange I certainly am leaning to the side of you not being a shill to start with....but that doesn't change the fact we have the right to be wary given the above circumstances.

Though I have no clue what a shill troll is, I find it a bit disheartening that everyone's first pessimistic reaction is to go on a witch hunt over some random person asking if anyone was familiar with an autograph authenticator.

I sort of made up the word "troll shill" .....but it sounded right. A person coming into the forum under the guise of someone else only to set up a person or company for a nefarious reason. It's no witch hunt when there is one in this thread, imo. I do understand your being unhappy but such is internetville. We aren't happy when we have imposters on the forum either. best regards
