JSA Story on Autographalert.com

[botn]

Article does not come as any shock. Just more of the same which plagues the hobby. Two weeks from now the rest of us will join those who already forgot the article was written.

Probably not the best news for SGC as Spence beings taking an interest in the company and taking over management duties but collectors have ignored worse.

Wonder why I have the lyrics from Won't Get Fooled Again going through my mind...

I just hope that SGCs new leadership doesn't ruin the "good will" that was built through the years. That would be a total shame....

I've got my own JSA story that isn't very positive but I'll just keep it to myself - I do think Spence is a lousy business person and much of that article doesn't come as a shock to me and it definitely doesn't surprise me.

Again, I just hope that SGC doesn't get dragged down the new ownership.

after looking at the thread on autographs i have yet another reason to push farther away from the hobby. after yet another grading debacle with psa i decided to sell everything i own and just leave. now this autograph thing, wow! well the only thing i will say is this, (1) just too much money to be made and what was written long before any of us got here states the reason these people do what they do, "the love of money is the root of all evil."

(2) as long as people continue to send items and pay for a service (dis-service) then they will continue to do what they have doing for a long time.
my dad (a very wise man) told me years ago, "if you see something you don't like and you know it's wrong why stay involved." well i can say it has been fun over the years meeting, talking to some great people in the hobby. also, there has been some weasels too!
God bless you and God bless the hobby
