These recent threads are about to reduce me to begging: Can we please separate this forum into TWO separate forums, so the vintage memorabilia collectors can avoid this tripe?
1) vintage memorabilia (non-COA stuff) 2) autographs and game-used

Agreed that that is the worst apology ever.
Also agree that a separate autograph forum be created. But please don't include game used items with autographs. Just like most memorabilia collectors, we don't want to be subjected to the endless threads about the latest bogus Ruth or Mantle autograph spotted on ebay. Greg

Autographs are just nuts - as a kid who used to get free autographs from pro players (I still have every one of them), I can't imagine standing in line and paying a guy to sign something. I have only bought autographs from dead guys. Trimmed and altered cards are just as bad. All of the above are why I ended up gravitating to cool old stuff that no one would have any incentive to mess with.

Richard, you have been (and continue to be) a terrific force in the autograph business.
I've only done business with you once, but have read the newsletter section on your site regularly for many years. I appreciate your work in trying to clean up the hobby. My presence here is almost exclusively as a lurker, but I read your posts with the recognition that you are highly skilled and honorable. You don't need to apologize to me.

Don't Separate the forums
I don't think separating the autographs from memorabilia is needed.
First of there aren't that many posts on this side to begin with. Second, you already have a way to not read posts about Collectors Corner, bogus Ruths. Don't open them! People have complained before about autograph threads, yet they still read them. Why? People complain about bickering threads, yet they still read them. Why? So far, between the first Simon vs Atkatz thread, the "Who do you side with?" thread, and this thread they have 7379 views and 190 replies since 10/31(4 days). In contrast, the "Centerpice of your collection thread" has only 3329 views and 56 replies since 10/23 (11d). It seems strange to me that the stuff people complain about is the stuff they read. Even Scott, who brought up separating autographs was the last person to post in the "authenticity question" thread. You read 34 posts prior to posting your self. If you don't like those threads, why did you read it? I guess I like everything together, because I don't have to bounce from forum to forum. Don't read the threads that don't interest you! Oh and BTW, I have seen arguments on the forum for many things including cards, photos, autos, bats, outing auctions, and the list goes on. I've also seen threads about fake signs/display items, fake pennants, and hucksters selling all manner of fake crap. It's gonna happen no matter how you seprate things. Just avoid the things you don't like. Just my 2c. Best to all, Mark
