Yes, I will be looking to embarrass and shame any trimmer/scammer and their enablers. Nobody has to click and/or watch if they don't want to. This is fun for me, not how I feed my family or buy my slabbed pictures of men.
I hope you'll be proudly wearing SCR gear while doing this.

I would like a shirt with pictures of the 4 main trimmers and "Self Centered" above them.

I saw that list, some on there have not been verified outside of sportscarradio and have been put on there for just disagreeing with SCR. So take it with a grain of salt.

In light of recent events, I do believe this needs to be bumped.

Can someone make a thread with a list of the booth numbers of known trimmers at the National?

This is what I saw on here so far:

619
579
581
696
698

Sounds like a job for Cardboard Chronicles. That would make for a great interview. To interview all the known trimmers so that people can put names with faces.


How about it Josh???????

Has the anger calmed down at all on this situation yet?

Have people decided to just overlook it now and taken an "it is what it is" attitude? Or are the fireworks about to light up?

What do you think?

If people are taking this attitude I would be absolutely shocked.

If you go to a restaurant and order an aged Angus filet mignon and the waiter comes out with a few Vienna Sausages are you going to say....ohh well...it is what it is?

I doubt much will happen....if the guys from SCR were going to show up then I am sure a lot would happen.....most people are actually not affected by this scandal unless they deal in the high dollar stuff and when you are looking at raw numbers...that is not most attendees of the National or any show. Some guy scouring through dollar boxes (the true bread and butter of the hobby IMO) is not affected by some criminal trimming a $1000 card.

I won't be at the show this year, but do look forward to hearing the stories of confrontation and embarrassment if they do occur.

Couldn't one of the dollar box scourers be Eagle Eyed Joe, who is linked to Leaf, who is linked to Brian Gray, who is linked to more shady characters?

Short sighted to think everyone isn’t affected by this scandal. Alterations, shill bidding, and outright theft affects everyone in this hobby. Doesn’t always have to be direct to have an impact.

i think ANYONE who takes the "it is what it is attitude" is 1 of two things:

1. connected to the scandal
2. an investor who doesn't give a sh*t about the hobby

Can a person walk around with food and "accidentally" trip over something and spill it all over these criminals table?

I am that crazy enough to do it.
