The Bituminous Coal Commission was a Commission that was deemed illegal by the US Supreme Court. There is some historical significance here

Maybe. But many collectors tend to collect certain genres of items. People collect items related to military, trains, planes, sports, etc.

Not many people collect items related to bituminous coal.

If it was a signature that dealt with something historically significant (WW2), it’d be more collectible.

He’s going to be looking for a buyer of primarily signatures of Presidents, with the value dropped dramatically because of the smudges.

That’s provided a secretary didn’t sign it, it’s going to cost some money to get authenticated.

I’ve collected a few autographs over the years, all sports related, but never a damaged signature. Maybe I’m wrong, but even if he pays to get it authenticated I think he loses money on it.

That all said, it’s still cool if it’s real.

I doubt it’s a secretary signed document. They usually signed stuff like general letters, etc, not official documents like this. Plus the signature is a dead ringer for the signatures that are PSA certified.

---

If it’s a legitimate signature and not a secretary signed letter it’d probably be worth a couple hundred to a few hundred bucks in great condition, the subject matter won’t really appeal to collectors. It’s not really historically significant.

Your issue is it looks smudged. Your best shot at making any money on it is spending some money to get it authenticated.

Regardless, it’s a cool piece, but if you spent in the three figures on it you likely may come close to breaking even, maybe even losing money.

You guys really think federalizing/nationalizing police is the way to go?

Maybe you should ask the people who sleep in their bathtubs because they’re scared of being hit by random bullets.

Or ask the people who lost children because they were hit by bullets fired at someone else.

We were desperate and because the people had diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we should have been listening to our son.” Trust the experts.

Looks pretty clear a big part of the problem was them sending him to “VIP Status” rehab places.

It’s a badge of honor there, a hot topic amongst the elite in the Country Clubs and private parties.

He was telling them it wasn’t working, they ignored him while crowing to the Botex crowd at cocktail parties how fortunate they were to have the connections to gain him entry to “Rehab of the Stars”.

Even if you wash your best Columbia shirt, buy a new pair of camouflage colored Crocs and fly to meet her in Honduras she’s not going to have sex with you.

So, 315k folks showed up at the polls and voted early in person, and you want to invalidate their votes because a poll worker forgot to sign their ballots? Am I understanding you correctly?

---

You think a poll worker just “oopsied” and “forgot” to sign 315,000 votes?

I find Walz loathesome and despicable but the killer is nuts. Without some corroborating evidence I think there's reason to be skeptical on that claim.

---

I don’t disagree, Walz is loathsome and the killer is nuts.
But it’s also interesting that he knew Walz for years, and immediately claimed Walz asked him to do it.
I agree with being skeptical, but the whole deal combined with Somali fraud is intriguing.

That’s my problem with this Maria chick. She testified seeing young women coming and going and still introduced her younger sister to him. She essentially trafficked her sister to Epstein.

---

The whole story is bizarre. She sent her 16 year old sister to stay at Epstein’s ranch. She claims Epstein had nude photos of her sisters.

How did he get nude photos of her sisters? Why would her parents give the ok to send their 16 year old daughter to a ranch in New Mexico? She knew Maxwell was recruiting women, yet sent her sister to Epstein?

Sad, absolutely sad. I was a poor boy coming up and our family was poor BUT we had pride and a strong sense of morality. I mean I would absolutely die to protect my children. This whole thing is just disgusting and sad sad sad at the same time

I was raised the same way. My daughter is now 24, there’s no way in hell I would’ve pimped her out like some parents do. Look at how dysfunctional many Hollywood families are. It’s bizarre.

Everyone knew that trump and Clinton hung out with Epstein, lock both of them up if they are guilty.

Trump informed on Epstein.

But then I remember she's got that hard Chicago accent that makes my ears bleed.

She lost the hard Chicago accent when she switched to talking like a southern black woman and carrying hot sauce in her purse.
