Hey! I don't know who you are, coming on here pretending to be Barry Sloate, but prepare to be sued, by yourself!

Bruce is always very quick to assert his will, and has a trigger finger when it comes to potential lawsuits...he isn't like that in person, it's just his persona behind the safety of a computer.

I keep coming back to this thread, wondering if it's really possible that somebody threatened the software with a lawsuit, and each time I re-read it, I can't help but burst into laughter.

54 really is a great message board, but the silliness we encounter here sometimes really can't be described.

I filed a complaint on his current auction with ebay. Hopefully this guy gets shut down. People like this give our hobby a really bad name.

These type of things are the very reason people often get out of our hobby. The common theme: fake, counterfit, switched out cards. or unqualified graders or companies grading cards. Why should anyone take the risk of spending $100, $1000, or $10,000 on a card that is not real. Talk is cheap until you get burned yourself. I guess if you are filthy rich its not that big of a deal. I believe the majority of us don't fall into this group. Companies like PSA and SGA should prosecute these people to help ensure the intergrity of their industry. When we purchase over the internet it is often like flipping a coin on the validty of ther card. This was previously the case with raw cards and now this is the case with graded cards.

So I finally read this thread and was laughing so darned hard that my manager had to come over and ask why

She agreed that suing yourself is a classic. And when I added about Bruce being no longer with us, it became even better
