I agree with you for once, DB. Now I'm really depressed.

Sometimes we react very emotionally over here and with good reason.

Ron purchased those autographs to flip and make a profit.  Then his auction(s) get removed by Ebay and then Ron comes here looking for help.   He stated in his opening comment "These items are worth between $40,000 and $50,000 if real." 

Ron paid $600.00 for that HOF Induction Sheet with 14 signatures and he was probably hoping to flip it for five times his purchase price. 

In my opinion, he was already upset because Ebay removed his auctions.  Then he got defensive when reality hit that the autographs he purchased may not be authentic. 

I say let him deal with it himself.

Wow! It is more interesting than I thought it would be!! Entertaining too!! You were right Chris! For someone who came to the forum for help, he is one cocky individual with an attitude. Be humble! Maybe he can learn something from fellow members here and maybe not get rip off the next time around. Compared to the Skateboarding Forum that I am a member. This is like Disneyland!!! They would have hanged and crucified him there. Seriously.

AML has been the best tool and resource for me in my autographs collection . Everyone here is very helpful and honest in their opinions and feedbacks.

I just want to say thanks Steve and everyone here!!! :)

Cheers!!!

Ron said he paid $600 for the HOF induction sheet?

$50 a signature for the 1939 baseball HOF induction class? Doesn't sound suspicious at all. ;-)

Since he got taken he will undoubtedly try and rip somebody else off in return. Most of those dopes do.  Just going to be hard to get $40K-$50K off Craigslist. LOL

What Ron did is a rookie mistake. Most newbies do the same thing, perhaps not jumping in so deep so quickly.

Ron, if you are still out there.....The auction you bought was sanctioned by a still approved authenticator on Proxibid. They will not be of help to you. If you paid with a credit card, try to do a chargeback against the auction house. Auctioneers hate chargebacks but it may be your only hope at this time. Please do not try to dupe someone else into taking your mistake.

If you will forgive a poor attempt at humor, you can always go to Las Vegas to Rick Harrison's pawn shop and try to sell it to him. Since it has his friend's COA attached, you might not get to meet Drew but if you start at $40,000 you might get your $800 back. Good luck!
