He is linking to his eBay message center. You won't be able to see it.

If Bob Herman is trying hard to sell authentic autographs, even getting an second COA, why is he being given a hard time? Don't we need more sellers like him? Am I missing something here?

Dear Steve, since I'm not a professional expert I wouldn't challenge authenticity.  However, I wouldn't pay over 8 grand based on the information that has been provided, that's all.  If Bob has his own customers he developed relationship with they probably know better. You know how's everyone is suspicious these days...

True, people are. But sellers can ask whatever they want. With a little effort a buyer can find the price range for an autograph and decide if they want to pay the price or not.

I agree with you Steve! Unfortunally over the last few weeks there have been somewhat of a change of attitude here at AML, at least according to me. There is much more of a "lynch mob mentality" and people are throwing accusations around them all the time. This has been apparent in many different threads lately.

I don´t say that these people always are wrong about the subjects debated, I´m just saying that I don´t like the way they are handling the matter.

I don´t know, maybe that´s just me...

It's not just you. I agree. Beating up someone because you think his asking price is too high hurts our entire community.

I have never understood bashing or criticizing someone because their asking price is too high.

You don't have to buy it.

Or, if you really want it that item, and hopefully it's still available, save up for it.

The real issue is jealously.  People get jealous of other people because they purchased at a very good price, and now, if they want to, they can resell it for a nice profit.

I've purchased many Jeter autographs for well under $100.00.  I picked up a beautiful Joe DiMaggio autograph on a golf outing sheet for $28.00.  I purchased numerous Mickey Mantle sigs on baseballs for well under $200.00.

One of the benefits of studying autographs is being able to purchase autographs without a piece-of-paper.

An owner of an item has the right to sell their item for whatever price they desire.

Period.

I laugh at asking prices on junk autographs all the time. Especially the ones that are ridiculous.

I agree though if the signatures are good the seller can ask what ever they want for it. Nobody is forced to buy anything. Maybe somebody will want it bad enough to spend that for it.

Or at least negotiate an offer
