Hello Everyone,

Game Used Universe is proud to announce the new addition of David Rudd Cycleback to our Experts' Corner. As you will see from his bio (I am pasting it below for your convenience), Mr. Cycleback is highly skilled in print and photo authentication and has already been instrumental in helping various entities in the sports memorabilia market understand more about these topics:

David Rudd Cycleback is an art historian specializing in the issues of authenticity, and runs Cycleback.com: Print and Photograph Study. He has advised major auction houses and has been a contributing writer for Encyclopedia of 19th Century Photography, MEARS, Beckett Vintage Sports and Gridiron Greats Quarterly. He has been cited by the Australian National Archives, Indiana Historical Society, Encyclopedia Britanica, PBS, Maine Antiques Digest, Tuff Stuff and his guides and essays have been required reading in university courses internationally.

In addition to his impressive credentials, we have also received extremely high opinions of Mr. Cycleback from various entities within the sports memorabilia field. In fact, one of his references stated, "He is so knowledgeable I would say he could write a book about what he knows. But, then again, he already has." Further, those familiar with GUU know the high emphasis we place on character and integrity in addition to knowledge. In this regard, we received the following comments about Mr Cycleback "[David] strikes me as a very reputable person who cares deeply about the hobby" and "[David] is a big contributor to the Network 54 card forum and is probably best known for giving advice, but not being controversial or confrontational. He is a good guy and I am sure he will be nothing but a positive influence..."

I hope you will help me in welcoming Mr. Cycleback to the GUU Experts' Corner. Mr. Cycleback has suggested that he will try to post blogs at the least once a month and we will let you know whenever he makes a post. Personally, I can't wait to read his posts and learn from his expertise.

Sincerely,
Christopher Cavalier
CEO - Game Used Universe

Welcome David. I have always enjoyed your guides, site, and most importantly viewpoint expressed on various boards. Few "experts" in the hobby are less self serving, in my oppinion and we look forward to you hearing your thoughts on a variety of topics.

Hello Everyone,

If you haven't had the chance to read it yet, David Rudd Cycleback has posted a great blog in the GUU Experts' Corner about Sports Cabinet Cards. Here is a link to it:

As I mentioned previously, we are thrilled to have David on the GUU Experts' Corner and if you read his blog I think you will understand why. Personally, although I have had some exposure to cabinet cards in the past, I really enjoyed reading David's insights and I feel I understand more about cabinet cards than I did before reading his blog. I am also really looking forward to learning from David on other topics he will be writing about in the future.

I hope you will join me in thanking David, as well as the other experts on the Experts' Corner, for their willingness to share their in-depth knowledge with our members.

Sincerely,
Christopher Cavalier
