If someone finds out that Ty Cobb had two less hits than his record of 4,191 does that get changed? As a matter of fact it did and Cobb is now credited with 4,189.

No doubt, John is trying to produce as good a video as possible of his historic run. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I posted this in one of the other threads about the 626:

I talked to the official racker. The voice-over is in progress. The idea is to make a nice product. I can understand how that will take some time. There is also some concern about piracy. The raw video has already been viewed by the people at the BCA.​

John said he is trying to sell the video for substantial amount of money and if that number is not met the video might not be released at all.

He said he might just show it at private viewings.

Sounds like he is being very cautious about how and if this video gets released.

Ohh boy....
I just read another statement John made saying he might make the video a PPV type deal and is going to talk to Pat Fleming at Accu-Stats.

I think he's being smart taking his time about how and when and if the video gets released.

Not looking promising. I like John schmidt and I’d buy the video but I think his expectations may be way high here if he’s looking for life changing or even life stabilizing money.

What can ya do? If it ever comes out I’ll buy it but for now it’s off my agenda of things to ponder

I got no problem with John trying to make money off the video. It is a momentous occasion and he needs to be rewarded. When players think small, big things don't happen.

It is a thing of value, no doubt. And John has put an unbelievable amount of work into making it reality.

Didn't he have backers helping him so he could devote his time to it, I'm wondering if they are driving any of his decisions?

Don't care, just curious.

It's his video and it's his prerogative for decide how to release it and how much to charge for it. That said I don't think he's being wise letting this drag on. I'd have dropped a few bucks on it right after he broke the record without thinking twice about it, but as weeks and months go by I already feel my interest waning. Let's see what he comes up with though.

I'm sure I will purchase it when it comes out however.....if he waits too long and someone else beats that record, maybe I'll wait for the dust to settle.

I'm sure there are a few people actively going for it now that it has made some big pool news.
