O'Keeffe: More Hobby Subpoenas

Re: O'Keeffe: More Hobby Subpoenas

agreed and sorry if I sounded like a dick.

I get frustrated sometimes hearing about the FBI cracking down and doing this kinda thing. It baffles me to know that people would rather know about the counterfeit jersey's, bats etc... OVER the real things that matter in todays world.

I completely understand it was off topic but sometimes we all need to vent.

FOR THE RECORD iam not a Republican or a Democrat, I belong to no party and don't like Limbaugh.

It's OK Lokee,

I bring a lot of BS to the forum too, just to vent. I just try to keep it away from Religion and Politics, the two majors......but even I slip up once in awhile because darn it.....some times you just need to speak your mind!!

You still get a big hug from me.......

Comments from the peanut gallery are always welcome alas.

I will admit that I was somewhat harsh in my reply. I think your reply to my salty words was gentleman-like and it is admired. I reacted quickly, without thinking.
Let's do what we can to keep politics off the forum. Thanks for understanding.

Just about time for a little FBI sting operation, no.

Get one of the baseball or football jersey experts to build a superstar jersey with a number of obvious red flags. Then have secret agent man shop the jersey to some of the major auction houses, making sure to point out they need X amount of dollars to let it go, regardless of what the auction opening bid is.

Duly note that being given a suboena often doesn't mean the server thinks the served did anything wrong. In a car accident civil suit, a bystander on the sidewalk may be subpoenaed to testify as a witness to the accident.

Well, here, it is. The rest of that rant is better suited for the "Rush Limbaugh/right wing memorabilia collectors forum".

Obama is trying to take our right to bear arms away. What can we do about that ?

Our food and water supplys are tainted with mass amounts of Flouride, Radon ect. What can we do about that?

The Government is forcing Swine Flu shots on us that are filly with mercury, disodium phosphate, squalene, chicken embryos, and various virus cultures.

We need to take a stand kids and it aint all about counterfeit sports items !!!

You all might think iam crazy but i speak the truth.

Re: O'Keeffe: More Hobby Subpoenas

If the collectors have enough of a problem spotting fakes and forgeries how are these FBI agents going to do that. Are they going to listen to the collectors ? and go on the "Honesty Policy" ?

If we are going to worry about fake jersey's and bogus bats and what not...There are so many other things to worry about in this world. Iam not saying it isn't important but we need to look deeper..

based on the report, it doesnt seem like a lot of resources are being used here. yes those others items you mentioned should have priority and i bet there are more government resources used for them than this investigation. how agents are we talking about here? 2 or 3 agents?

Re: O'Keeffe: More Hobby Subpoenas

We should all be thrilled that the FBI is involved in our industry. I know I am.

I guess it's safe to say the days of the "easy money" in this business are over. Now if we can just get the Fed's to hire a couple of our experts here that constantly expose......er......question the garbage put out there in these auctions by a company......er.....by companies that claim to be the experts in the field, and then press charges for repeated offenses.

Man, I can't wait to see that day....

Did I mention that this is all just my opinion?
