Posted By: davidcyclebackBarry, when the co-op starts, members would exchange their particular skills. For example, after the board electrician rewired your kitchen and bathroom lighting you would reciprocate by telling him how unethical he was ... In my case, I have no special skills and would reciprocate by giving a hearty handshake or letting him pet my dog.

Posted By: barryboth the handshake and allowing the dog to be petted exhibit the wonderful skills of altruistic behaviour! You are a great asset to the co-op! all the best barry

Posted By: davidcyclebackJust to get this straight beforehand, it would the handshake OR the petting of the dog, not both. I'm not trying to be another Mother Teresa here.

Posted By: barry arnoldI get it! still, handshake or petting the dog sounds like at least a Gandhi anyway! Best Barry

Posted By: Barry ArnoldAt least no one said 'ethics professor' sounds like an oxymoron! Professor of Medical Ethics, not legal ethics, so you're safe---sort of. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Been doing it 20 years down here in Florida, but like the 206's a bit more now <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Does anyone else love the 206's more than their chosen career? Just teasin'---sort of. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Best Barry Arnold

Posted By: Hal LewisWelcome Barry from another Floridian! Hope your cards survived Hurricane Ivan in one piece! You have the LOOK of an ethics professor: <img src="http://uwf.edu/dlhs/advisory/pics/arnold2.jpg"> I never trust the ethics of the clean-shaven guys with the fancy haircuts and slick suits. I want a guy who looks like he gives in to no one! A TRUE free thinker! PS - You also look like most of us collectors. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: barry arnoldI smiled from ear to ear when i saw you had taken my picture off the university website and let me know that i have joined a super bunch of folks who look like me! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> i'm grateful, Hal. also glad to know another Floridian who loves the 206's. Ivan did destroy our 3 acres but not much damage to the house, thankfully. lots of MRE's and bottled water and no electricity for nearly a month, though. all the best, Hal <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Barry

Posted By: Hal LewisThat's the T206 TRAE (portrait) proof!!!! Actually, Trae looked like Barry, but had to shave his facial hair for the T206 photo shoot so that he would be allowed in the set.

Posted By: Trae R.That gives me an idea - find an artist who could rendition a personal T206 card. That would be pretty neat to have a card of yourself lookin' all old-timey and whatnot.

Posted By: Hal LewisOr better yet (and cheaper)... we can all just look through the existing T206 portraits cards to see which one looks the most like you! The one in your signature is a good start!

Posted By: Hal LewisI think this is Trae: <img src="http://i.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/4399.jpg"> Trae must be his "code name"! Trae said that he lives in Florida ... and so does Dean Palmer. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Posted By: Trae R.Too bad Palmer is wayyy older then me. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Nice Geoff... Hal, funny you mention finding the card that most looks like yourself. I have been working with the entire set photos so much lately that some of them started to look like friends and acquaintances - scary!

Posted By: barry arnoldmany thanks for the welcome i'm focusing on the t206's. i have about 90 graded ones from PSA, SGC, GAI. I still look for a T205 or T210 or even T203 here and there. I have around 20 of the 205's, 20 of the 210's and 3 of the T203's, all graded as before. My 205's and 210's actually hold the best grades with several excellents and one near mint. Lately i've been focusing on the HOF's for T206. Thanks to Trae, I now have them on display(listed) with his website. all the best Barry
