I will also admit that the sheer audacity of the CC offerings are highly entertaining and usually good for a laugh.

Sunrises aren't directly related to the memorabilia forum. Fakes, frauds and forgeries, however audacious and obvious they may be, are.

David- fine, maybe Chris is posting the same thing again and again, I'll agree with that. But nobody is hurt by it and maybe, just maybe, somebody is being helped out. And it wouldn't be the first time something on this board is discussed ad nauseum; just check the card side and read the endless minutiae that the T206 guys come up with each day. I'm just waiting for them to start analyzing the different edges when they run out of other topics. Yes, there is redundancy on the board.

And if you posted every day that the sun rose, you wouldn't be hurting anybody but you wouldn't be helping either. Again, you may not care for Chris's posts, but I see no reason to be critical of them.

They're not redundant, Barry. To quote Basil Fawlty, they're "bleedin' obvious." It's almost as if someone on the card side kept posting about certain '33 Goudey auctions, and warning that the cards are reprints. When you look at the photos he's posted, though, you see that each card has "reprint" printed clearly on the back. How long before that got old?
(And if you believe these items are entertaining, why not just checkout CC's site yourself.)

Again David, a lot on this board does get old. That's the nature of the beast. I just ignore it.

Hey Chris, thanks for responding. I just wish we had a better way to not only "out" the people that are selling the crap, but also privately have discussions between multiple members on the good and bad of certain autographs. The knowledge base we have here is fantastic, but sharing the info without the wrong people getting it is problem. I'm curious what will happen when Ron Keurajian's book comes out. Will it help the good guys or bad guys more.

[mr2686]

I have to agree with Barry, that things do get old on the board pretty quick, and it is the nature of the beast. I know that when I first came on I tried to come up with some different topics like "Who has the nicest signature", "How do people catalog their collections", "What will happen to your collection when you're gone", stuff like that. But at the end of the day, there's not much new under the sun. I sometimes sit around trying to think up some interesting sub-topics that we could explore, but really it getting pretty tough to come up with anything original. I'm just thankfull we're not discussing off center autographs or soft corners on a 3x5

"you may not care for Chris's posts, but I see no reason to be critical of them."

17 minutes after Barry posted this, Mr Atkatz comes on and posts another critical comment.
Don't read them Mr Atkatz, instructions on blocking a poster have been posted on the forum. Just block Chris out and you won't worry yourself anymore.
Multiple reasons have already been listed on this thread as to the value of these posts. The owner of the forum has given his blessings to the posts and encouraged more posts.
Until you are the owner of your own forum David, the posts will go up. You are not the censor here.
People find them to be of value, some people find them amusing. The only person here who seems to dislike them is you.

[David Atkatz]

And you're not the censor here, either. I'm certainly entitled to post my opinion regarding the utility of Chris's posts.
If you don't like it, don't read it.
