You have been invited to make inquiries but for some reason you refuse to
do so. You post assertions but never have tangible evidence to support
your claims. You want to sound like you know what your talking about but
when it comes down to making it stick it's always "I heard this, I heard
that", relying on heresay and innuendo. You and I have never met though I
talked to you one time 6 years ago when you tried to hawk some alleged
signed items over the phone and begged and pleaded because you were
broke...but I refused to buy. Beyond that, it's been nothing more than a
stupid vendetta because I didn't appreciate your crude manner over the
phone and the constant IMing over internet and I let you know it.

I think strictler's sports is on a link on my site... . If there are
forgeries, I wouldn't have it there. I don't appreciate people saying
I help people sell forgeries...... so don't start a war with me.

If you have PROOF there are forgeries, by all means prove it. As you
well know (and I hope everyone here does), I don't have anything to do
with forgeries and work against that. My problem with you is so
evident in your small post here. You just accused me, even if you
didn't intend to, of helping aid and abet a forger.

I have turned down many people who wanted me to affiliate them even
for profit because I suspected stuff wasn't right. I would remove
anyone I suspected in a heartbeat. With a couple (and just a couple)
I've allowed links on there if I didn't see anything at the time (and
with this one wasn't it a sports link?). I am not good with sports so
I give the benefit of the doubt sometimes after a couple questions. I
do more than MOST people ever do when even putting a link on my site.

So by all mean prove what you say and I'll remove him. Now, as with a
million other posts in the past, I know having you come up with proof
is pretty thin; you seem to accuse a whole lot of people of a whole
lot of things without ever giving solid evidence; all you ever give is
"I heard" or "he's a &%&%" or whatever. Accusations and hearsay do
not count.

PS I don't want to hear about him using wire images photos. that's
not proof of anything other than he borrowed images (though I would
urge under the wire image photos and any other photos he borrowed,, to
say what it is or where it came from as that's the right thing to do).

Why were you trying to work a deal with him anyway with his
reputation? You really need to be careful; because now I do have to
wonder.

Now it's coming back to me. I asked you where you got your items etc
and you did admit to buying from other dealers I believe. Usually I
don't put links to those who do that on my site unless I am positive
they are really great about looking at the stuff. I looked at your
stuff and got an opinion and looked ok at the time and so I put it.
But now I wonder.... making a deal with someone known as Bareforger?
Though I do feel I've not seen any forged stuff from Barefoot that I
know of or can prove. So I give the benefit of the doubt to him;
however I am not going to go out of my way to recommend him either!
You really need to be concerned about who you do business with.
Reputation is everything. Ask the three best ones on here... Ed,
Autographpros and Autographworld.

By all means, if anyone has any dealer they know to be bad, you know
I'll remove it from my site. Anyone knowingly/blatantly/proveable
selling forgeries goes on the Xlist. I've not worked that in some
time, but I always work submissions (serious ones).

Speaking of that; I am nearly complete with my start of a new
signature database with examples from the Profiles in history and
signature house auction catalogs for people to use. While doing this
I discovered a couple sigs that were "off" to my eye but after looking
and looking, I came to the conclusion the time frames were so vast on
a couple of these you can tell that's where the sig changes. There
are signatures where people have accused some of forgeries and they
possibly are NOT. Several sigs through history change.

Katherine Hepburn wrote Kate on a lot of items and Katherine on others
A couple celebs signed in full and fluid in a few photos and on
another wrote cramped and more jagged because of a small space on
white where it showed.... George Lucas started signing so much his sig
when from full to GL which looks like C squiggle L line. Same with
many others (Orlando Bloom). the old golden era of Hollywood showed
more care in signatures; modern ones don't. You see a vintage poster
of Star Wars (first edition) with a signature that looks like 1990's
(late) to 2000's on it. All that means is someone wrecked their
vintage poster is all. You see longer inscriptions in the past than
now and have much more to look at in the way of signature ID than you
do now which makes modern sigs more tough to ID as wrong.

Be very careful when accusing people. That's all I am saying.
Instead, research and gather proof then out their sorry asses.

another
http://pages.stricklersports.com/898...923051114.html
anyone who knows star wars autographs knows that portman doesn't sign
star wars stuff at all (unless it's been for a charity) and she
certainly didn't sign this...she's tough enough AT ALL, but has never
signed star wars stuff.

http://pages.stricklersports.com/898...923242056.html

here's the best!!!!
look at the A in all of these celebrities autographs...
these are all 3 different people but magically it's all the same
handwriting...
AND ONE OF THEM IS A MAN!
M

LOL...that's your proof! That 3 signatures of 3 different celebrities have
similiar A's? OMG, are you serious? I suppose your professional forensic
opinion has led you to this remarkable conclusion? I suppose you're going
to say that in ALL the signatures of these 3 celebrities that none of
their A's look like this? If so, I must have forged every signature of
Anne Hathaway, Annette Bening and Anthony Michael Hall on the market as
well. I also have signed photos of Bud Abbott, Issac Asimov, Alben
William Barkley and Aaron Copland that also have similar A's. I suppose I
signed those as well....in my previous life?

You have once again proven how much of a hack you really are........
