I made the Toledo Blade newspaper! (re: Ohio coin scandal)

On Collectors Universe Forums, which includes a coin collecting message board, web surfers for weeks have been discussing how the coin market will be affected by the scandal. Many worry the result will be a “black eye” for the hobby. Yesterday, The Blade’s article on coin grading garnered more than 35 responses from enthusiasts on the message board.

“That’s what I half-expected to happen,” wrote one poster, RYK. “Cash profit reported and booked, while the nest egg [$50 million] presumed to be intact, is depleted. It is still way too early to determine what actually happened, but it is not looking good for Mr. Noe and his associates.”

One would hope they asked your permission first?

Will you be called as an expert witness?

That rag is obviously low on material. You can quote me on that!

No offense to you intended, RYK, but a newspaper quoting anonymous posters on message boards? That's a bit odd. The reporter needs to get his butt from in front of the computer and talk to some real people. Geez...talk about small time!

Xpipe,

I agree 100%.

And comparing a rare coin trading operation with a dad buying coins for his daughter's collection--absurd!

Hmmm....

RYK is the only one mentioned in the article
RYK noticed that he was mentioned in the article

Therefore, RYK wrote the article.

Pretty tacky, but can I still have your autograph? Don't forget this is the Toledo Balde, not the NY Times.

I was contacted by a reporter from Coin World last year based on a posting I made. He used info from direct questions to me (via email), not just from what was posted.

Who wants to be a "blog" when they grow up?

There is no legal requirement that they do so.
