I don't think anybody here cares.

I don't think anybody here cares.

That's quiet a blanket statement.

I bought stuff from these clowns! I care.

[G1X]

I don't think anybody here cares.

I care, and most sports memorabilia collectors should care. Certainly anyone in the hobby who has ever been burned should care. Not only should they care, they should be rejoicing that something is being done to prosecute those who choose to profit in this hobby through criminal activity.

It is blatantly dishonest and criminal actions such as this that continue to drag the hobby through the sludge at the bottom of the outhouse. Having seen many a fox guard the hen house during my 41 years in the game-used hobby, it is a refreshing site to see the involvement of law enforcement and prosecution of those who are guilty of crimes. Perhaps things won't be "business as usual" now that some of the foxes have gone to jail.

I don't think anybody here cares.

I hereby apologize to Mark and Samets. I will amend my post: I don't think anybody here cares, other than three of us.

Count me in as someone who cares too. I don't post on here much anymore but still check out the site often. I think you just have a different type of collector demographic here as opposed to the Net54 site among other things so that's why this thread is not getting the same type of responses. I don't think it's from a lack of caring though. I think most everyone wants to see our hobby thrive.

I still bid in auctions every once in awhile and I sure in the hell don't want to get shilled so I'm glad that something is finally being done to address this practice and let's hope that the message it sends is a strong one.

I'm willing to bet quite a few folks on this site; and so many others, care quite a lot.

"The list" casts shade on quite a wide range of people within our very small population of hobb(ies).

It's my sincerest hope the truth comes out and vindicates those who were swindled versus those who propagated fraud, dishonesty and corruption.
