Announcing "Collectors Forensics Register" - Revolutionizing the Hobby

[timzcardz]

Don't you just love it when someone's first, and possibly only post in a forum is to advertise?

May I respectfully request that Leon hit them up for banner ad, or give them the boot for spamming?

Given the Net54 response to this announcement, it will almost surely be their last post here. I'm sure they will have people use the service, but this board is not their target audience.

When the OP, Lloyd, and I spoke yesterday he told me what he planned and I looked at the site. I told him just like with most hobby business situations that he could post once about it on the board, and then after that there were advertising opportunities. I told him about WIWAG and about GAI (the first video I saw) and their debacles. I told him about the coin counterpart CAC and what it did. I went onto say we have a fairly well heeled audience, in some respects, but that even someone on a $50 budget gets the same respect as those with higher budgets. He hadn't heard about GAI problems or WIWAG or CAC. I was sort of saying to myself "myself- huh, if I were doing that venture I might have done a bit more research." At any rate I wished him best and here we have the "Industry REVOLUTION".....well, sort of. My opinion is that this service sort of tells us what we already know. But hey, maybe I don't know what I need to....or something like that.

Some of that stuff will be interesting for modern cards. Especially the ones that were overproduced. It will be interesting to see if any of the odd differences get recognition, or if some get declared as fake. Some of the little differences are actually somewhat challenging to find.

91 topps for instance has 3 different back inks, one does not react to the blacklight, another lights up brightly, and the third looks like a very dark red. The last one is actually a lot tougher than the others. The fronts also have 2 diferent clear coats.....

I've thought that a premium grading service that gave a detailed explanation of the grade could work, but it would be tough going in a market that's a bit saturated.
