I don't tell lies on here, but evidentally I misunderstood your comments you have made pertaining to your disability/kidney problem. A simple misunderstanding that you continue to carry a grudge over.

Steve Sipe Manager of Autogragh Authentication Bob Gryder: Modern Autograph Expert and Authenticator
Experience: 24 years
No one in the modern hobby era has collected, witnessed, or authenticated more signatures of modern or vintage athletes than Steve. His career started in 1986 working for Reggie Jackson and two major league baseball rookies named Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. Steve was in charge of managing the signings for Jose, Mark and Reggie as their popularity grew during the late 80’s and early 90’s. In 1992 Steve joined Upper Deck Authenticated as the Director of Athlete Relations where it was his job to witness all of the signings of the worlds most famous athletes including Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey Jr., Joe Montana, Mickey Mantle, Dan Marino, and Ted Williams just to name a few.(see photos) Over his 9 years at Upper Deck Steve was responsible for the collection of all of the companies autographs and authenticating totaling well over 3 million autographs across all sports. Steve’s latest assignment is VP of Business Development at GAI overseeing the fastest growing part of the business which is autograph authentication and verification working with a team of experts around the country and at shows.
Bob Gryder Modern Autograph Expert and Authenticator Bob Gryder: Modern Autograph Expert and Authenticator
Experience: 15 years
Bob is the foremost modern autograph expert and authenticator in the industry. Bob has assembled the finest collection of modern exemplars in existence. His expertise is unmatched in an industry where information on modern autograph authentication is scarce.
Brandon has obtained such an extensive Autograph collection Over the last 20 years by obtaining the drivers autographs in-person and working with various drivers and teams at many NASCAR tracks and special autograph events. His collected autographs range from drivers in the 1950's to current Super Star drivers and Rookies. Brandon has authored articles published in Autograph Collector magazine that focuses on signature studies and is currently writing a book regarding the NASCAR Autograph hobby and it's history.
Brandon's extensive research and consulting work with other industry experts make his opinion the most sought after in the hobby when in comes to NASCAR signatures. Brandon is the ONLY recognized NASCAR Autograph expert in the United States of America and is a member of Global Authentication's Authentication Team. Brandon also works VERY close with ebay's fraud division on a daily basis. With Brandon's help, HUNDREDS of NASCAR forgeries have been removed from the marketplace each year.
Brandon's goal in the hobby is to simply help educate the buyers and to remove as many forgeries as possible within the marketplace. Brandon continuously render's his opinion for to ANY customer who seeks his assistance he enjoy's the personal contact with customers which allows him to ensure that the customer has a clear understanding of the item in question. Brandon has time and again shown that authentication should be less about making money and more about educating buyers in hopes that they will not be a victim of a forgery.
Brandon's current opinion is that NASCAR autograph forgeries are on the rise faster than ANY other section of the hobby. This is mirrored by NASCAR's international growth and continuous gaining of popularity. The huge DEMAND of NASCAR driver's autographs can not meet up with the supply. Though it may be that EVERY NASCAR driver signs HUNDREDS of autographs a week during the race season, the supply can not be met in the market due to the high number of COLLECTOR'S who keep the autographs out of the commercial system.
<< <i>The people on here who have tested me know I know my business, and I can live with that.
I tested you and you failed miserably.
Steve >>
Ok, whatever, Steve. Continue to lie. I know the truth that I never gave you any opinions on autographs, so continue to play your game, but I am moving on. Grudges will end up getting the best of you, so let it eat you up if you will. I can't change your bitterness, but I can control mine.
I left my house today about 4:45PM and this thread had about 4 replies. I was wondering why it had so many replies about 4 hours later.
Only had to scroll down to about the 7th or 8th reply. When I saw Stantheman, I didn't even have to read any more to figure out the rest of this thread was a trainwreck. But I forgot, we are a tight knit clan that is out to get Stantheman.

It's called watching a ball game while arguing with you clowns. Much more interested in seeing Pujols hit his second bomb of the game, than what you have to say.
When it comes to Matle autos Stan the Man has been dead on in my experience.
There were some memorable threads where Poppa J claimed fraudulant Mantle sigs looked real and Stan the Man stepped in and set the record straight. This did not go over well since one member was a considered a Mantle expert, but the truth is the truth.
Just the facts!
Steve and Stan need to take a step back and realize they do not get along and it is better off just to ignore each other. I will say this much, Stan has not been posting much lately, he posted a helpful opinion and Steve jumped on his reply. Obviously there is a history there, but it better to let each other be and act like adults.
It's too bad that this board is full of idiots who can't appreciate just seeing a great player play out his career, without making the juvenile comments. If you like Pujols on here, you get bashed for mentioning it. You talk about something else, you get bashed for it. Pretty much if you don't fit into certain groups of friends on here, you will be mocked, bashed, trashed, or whatever. Childish high school games. This board will never be anything but the same morons trampling out any good hobby info with their nonsense, so I have decided that I will not be coming back. The good guys on here don't post enough, and it's the same group of smart mouths every time I come here, that never forget their grudges, and are all too eager to fire them back up, even when you try your best to stay on topic and be a contributing member. I won't miss the fools, but will miss the good guys I have made friends with over the last couple of years. That's it, I'm done with this board for good. I know that will make the bafoons happy, and but not as happy as it makes me to not have to deal with their juvenile nonsense every time I tried to come here and enjoy talking about the hobby. You can't enjoy trying to talk about the hobby, when you have to spend more time fighting with the people who have vendettas. That is why so many people are walking away/have walked away from this board.
I bought this about 5+ years ago off Naxcom. Asked the guy if he would lower the price and he gave me some "Have to sell because of divorce" story. Paid $40. I thought it had to be fake based on the price. Later on I needed money for something else, so I sold it.
Look real? Kinda hope it's fake, so I wont miss it as much

With all due respect - and I'm not tryin to pile on - personally I think it's better TO take these kinds of things to the PM.
But, to be honest Stan - something told to you in a PRIVATE message - should stay that way - private.

Not once but probably 10 times!
You went so far as to say you knew what i said then and I was changing my story.
Don't freaking minimize it. I went back and forth with you for a few hours that day!
I even said "is it possible that you thought I said this? And you claimed then you knew it as fact!
When i said Ok Stan prove it, as usual the mouse that you are couldn't! Claimed you deleted the PM's
Or do you also forget calling me out and claiming you are at all the big shows in the midwest?
I suggest you re think the things you say and do with people here.

To recap:
2 years ago I emailed you 3 bogus autos and asked your opinion.
You claimed all three were good.
I then said all 3 were known to be bad and you tried to argue it.
Then when you realized they were bad you tried to spin your way out of it.
I wish I saved those emails but i don't even have that computer any longer.
Well I'm off to bed
That is after I cash the disability check that STTM claims I get.

I simply stated that I thought they "think they have a clue like he did"

things that thought to be real. Only after he started his nonsense did I not back down.
