Should I reveal their names David?
They both asked me not to repeat their comments as they are terrified of you and your wrath. (ss)

Sure! But why are you asking me? You wouldn't betray a trust. Hell. You won't even betray a forger or a crooked dealer. I know you wouldn't betray a colleague.

I guess you should ask the NYC Dept of Consumer Affairs and the Nassau County DA's Office about the forgers and crooked dealers that "I betrayed." (ss) and helped get thrown off ebay and in Nassau County put in jail. Ask FBI agent John Ianuzzi, in Brooklyn, if I did not help him.
What have you really done David to rid this hobby of the crooks. Sit on this board and rant? Anyone can do that.

Again and again and again. No names. No cases. No evidence. Just secret knowledge, and secret acts.

Wow, David just accused me of lying about my proudest achievements.
Thanks David. Keep grousing on the board,that has accomplished a lot, I will work with the authorities and actually accomplish something.
NY City Dept of consumer Affars - investigation headed by Fred Cantor Atty
Nassau County DA Office - DA Robert Emmons ,case- The People vs. Beram and Dupcak, jail sentence for Dupcak, probation for Beram who was (just like you David) a teacher.
And I gave you the name of the FBI agent.

No (ss) here David, just the unvarnished truth.

David, when you first started to advertise your "Quick Opinion" service here, I recall you writing that you upped your fee because "you're better than PSA" so why should your fee be less than theirs.

This I can write with pretty much 100% certainty and that is your "1927 NYY" ball would not pass PSA.

You bash PSA and JSA, and now you shove the JSA cert in Richard's face. I call that being a hypocrite.

David Atkatz · #6 10-31-2011, 09:39 PM

The ball came with an early Spence-PSA cert when I bought it, although that had nothing to do with the purchase. It came from a major auction house, in the days when certs were not generally provided.

Had it not had one, I would not send it to be certified. Just as my Ruth ball did not have one, and I've never obtained one.

But if Richard--and you--are offering your opinions as to its authenticity, why is it hypocritical of me to mention the opinion of someone else?

It has already passed PSA, with Spence as the judge, not some unknown name. (And yes, as I said before, Spence makes mistakes (as do we all), but at least it was looked at be him, and not some no name who makes even more mistakes.)

And I don't believe in false modesty. I am better than PSA.

It won't pass PSA today and I'm also fairly certain that Jimmy wouldn't pass it today either.

Much as I have negative feelings about PSA they have removed hundreds if not thousands of bogus autographs from ebay.
How many have you removed David?
You sit by your computer and grouse and drip sarcasm (ss) and bellyache to everyone about your poor existence as a very unhappy teacher and now a retired teacher.
And I don't have any scans of Johnny's work but if you know anyone with old SCD's perhaps they can find the ads that ran for months with SS balls of the Black Sox. Yeah, I know that can't be found, but the ads are in SCD and somewhere in hobbyland they exist.
