Gonna rant here for a minute...
So some of you may remember me posting in the past about my hobby business custom framing autographed memorabilia. Well I post a lot of what I have for sale on Facebook buy and sell pages. Well I had a photo listed and a "hounder for profit" hijacked it with a dirt cheap non licensed photo of the same player. I called him out on it and eventually our back and forth bickering ended with him going off with a bunch of F - bombs and Homophobic slurs, thus causing him to lose his sale and helping people understand how dirt baggish autograph hounding is.
I've spent a considerable amount of effort and investment in building a reputable business within this industry. Nothing worse then some autograph hounder for profit illegally downloading and printing photos then invading an athletes personal life to get it signed to make a quick buck. That's exactly what gives the rest of us bad name.
Rant complete.
