Dear friends, members and CO´s from Autograph Live.

First all, i´m going to try to express myself in English, (not in my native language)

Please forgive, if you´ll find any mistake, i asure you i´m doing my best to be clear.

I´m very happy to be accepted, and be here, sharing informations, ideas, details, and all the other things that people are doing in their live with passion....

As Collecting and collectors.

Passion for the things i do in my professional live, passion with my hobbies, friends and of course family.

I´m an artist. and also writer, both areas are moved by emotions.

I´m not here with the purpose of business.

I´m here to exchange, to Exchange ideas, exchange our hints and "treasures", but above that to learn and to teach with great people that have also their passions, and their ideas.

Even if you don´t agree with some of the posts i write, it will be very kind from you to feel some feedback.

Thats also a way to grow, and make grow this community.

For more than 15 years, i´m giving classes to thousands of students, and you know what?

I´v learned a lot with them.

I´v been part from other collectors forums and always had the feeling that was a great place to share.

3 or 4 from you are being very kind, and thank you for your communication. (you know who you are)

But when people give their opinion in public, its always nice and welcome to feel why is that opinion, or which technical other facts are given. And not a simple answer as yes or no.

Thats nothing.

Because each artist and autograph has variations, similarities and differences in all their signatures.

And nobody is perfect or has the complete true.

Answers as: " I don´t" Like it" Or Not for my collection", are not great answers when you are trying to learn and knowing who, is who.

Hope my honesty didn't offend anyone, because that its not my objective or my intention.

i´m really here to communicate and share if you are open to it.

Best wishes, and thank you to the ones they have communicate with me. (really few)

I believe, that i still find some wonderful people and opinions in Autograph live.

Shared with honesty.

Thank you in advance

óscar

Nice to have you here.

To cover one item you raised, and I think it can certainly help a number of people understand this a little better. Why some members keep their answers short and sweet, without going into lots of detail, is to keep from giving away too many hints (in public.)

While it may help collectors that want to learn with exact details of why, we would also be helping all the forgers perfect their game.

They are reading these forums too. We all know that for a fact.

If anyone ever really needs more details about why I said something was bad,I would hope that they would contact me privately.

Thank you very much Pete!

That is a good point.

Now i provably can understand that, As nobody had the care to alert me about that, because i´m not a scammer, so i was thinking on the positive way.

But i did it Pete.... and guess what...

Didn't have any answer for months, and of course this letter mas a way to call attention and have answers why nobody says anything.

And also shows i´m here in good faith.

Thanks again!

Óscar

Oscar,

I can't answer for everyone, but I do respond to comments and questions that I feel I can or should answer. There are plenty of topics I have no right to comment on, and I don't.

Good luck getting the answers that you want or need.

Hi óscar,

If I can ever lend a hand...

I understand what you say about responses such as "I don't like it" etc. It reminds me of trying to decipher a ;) in a serious coin collecting group! But Pete's point is a good one, so just PM someone if you have a question. That's what I do. Sometimes I don't get answers either, and that's OK.

Best wishes and good luck with your project!

Eric

Welcome, I'm one that says "I don't like it". Its just me throwing out a "quick opinion" without studying an autograph for a half hour. I just don't have time to go over and give long opinions on everything. So please don't take offence if I don't give tips.

Hi Ian Thank you For your post.

No i don´t get offended, and of course this post was not an attack to anybody, was an attention call due to this kind of lac of communication.

I felt like in a silent library, not in a discuss forum :-)

Sounds strange isn´t it?

Thank you very much for your care and for your answer, best wishes

óscar
