The downfall of the PSA boards.

[dog*dirt]

I'd like to see one. Just one. It has to be something that we can all agree is overgraded (paper loss, pin holes, etc), not just your opinion that it's overgraded. I'll go first. Here is a PSA 6 with paper loss. Probably should have graded no higher than a 2 (overgraded by 4 grades). Either way, I think we can both agree it's not a 6.

David,

I have heard the PSA is more forgiving on paper loss. Here is another example...

If you run into an a-hole in the morning, then, unfortunately, you ran into an a-hole. If you run into a-holes all day long, then you're the a-hole.

Couldn't stop laughing for about 30 seconds after reading this one! I'll have to remember it!

That said, boy, none of us are anywhere near perfect. I just want to thank all of you guys for putting up with some of my s___t from time to time when I'm really cranky! All in all, we've got a great set of very knowledgable members.

Best wishes,

Larry

Nice cards Clayton. I noticed they are both "seated" and I assume that has a bit to do with it ..... I'm not sure I have any "seated" ...... but I can share a whole team standing/sitting around for the hell of it :)

Hey Steve, glad you enjoy the postcard! I just picked up a similar looking one..

Yeah, I know this a bit wacky, but you have to admit it is a beautiful card!!! And I think most buyers of the McNall/Gretsky Wagner knew about its origins before they bought--word had been pretty rampant throughout the hobby for years and years!

Wow. Just... wow.

Sorry, Leon. I'll do my best to be a good boy. There's a good vibe here, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Leon, lot of trouble makers seem to be switching to this board....they came from bEckett, caused ruckus in PSA, now are flooding here....GordieTNT you better not be the pain in the A$$ you were at PSA

I've heard that too. Here's another example of being very forgiving on paper loss (both edges in fact):

Is Fandango your real last name? If not, please post it before you throw out insults to a member who didn't say anything to you. I believe those are the rules here.

For the record, I am the same TNP from CU. How many Geordies do you know who have a chocolate Lab avatar? And if by "pain in the ass", you mean did I mock you repeatedly whenever you went on one of your many psychotic, delusional rants, then I guess your descriptor is fair.

His name is his user id by what he registered with. If it's not I would like to know. Biggest difference between us and CU (which I still like) is the anonymity thing. For the record the very top of our pages on this board will be changing to reflect the privacy issue with posting.

Everyone pretty much starts with a clean slate here.

[lsutigers1973]

Please ask fandango if he still has his "list". There's a reason he has been banned everywhere he's gone.

Where's nam with the fandango computer pic?

[TNP777]

Heh. Forgot all about The List.

Scott, you got the boot from CU? No wonder you won't answer my PMs.

Oh, the irony.

QFT.

I wish I could get more people to understand this.

That reminds me of the joke where the wife calls the husband while he's in his car driving home, to warn him that there's a dangerous idiot driving the wrong way on the freeway.

His response: "It's not just one - they are ALL driving the wrong way!"
