Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>He's referring to no one in particular. He's made a lame attempt at trying to scare people in to selling him cards at "Bottom line" prices. See his "Cash is King" thread on the B/S/T.

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Didn't seem like Bruce ws talking about a specific auction house, just a "what if" across the board.<br><br>And I did send him my sell list of 5 cards of Matty, Cobb and Wagner, all in nice condition, 2 of which are "one-of-less than 5 (according to pop reports), along with a green Cobb. Total value for the 5 over $15.k<br><br>Bruce declined saying, "he doesn't need them." hmm ??? He doesn't want Matty, Cobb and Wagner ? I guess everybody has Wagner and Cobb Colgan's in PSA 8, yes ? <br><br>steve

Posted By: <b>Bruce Dorskind</b><p><br>Dear Steve<br><br>We appreciated your offer, and indicated so in our response.<br><br>We only collect type cards. We have high grade Colgan examples<br>and several T 206's in 8. Therefore we had no interest in the cards<br>you offered. We would have turned down the offer if the asking prices<br>was $200.00 for the group.<br><br>We don't buy for resale, and when we sell something it is because we<br>have upgraded a type card.<br><br>Thanks and best wishes for the New Year!<br><br>Bruce Dorskind<br>America's Toughest Want List<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>America's Toughest Want List

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>jees guys...all Bruce was saying was that he doesn't "need" them for his type collection...is that so wrong? He's a condition oriented type collector...not a hof'er collector.

Posted By: <b>josh</b><p>Unreal, some of the posts Bruce puts out there for people to see. I have no clue who the guy is and could care less. It makes him look like a real piece of work though.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I think Mastro only came under suspicion because of an Ohio politician or government employee who was doing some dirty work. Haven't really followed the story all that closely.

It makes him look like a real piece of work though.<br><br> Bruce just comes across wrong in writing. I know people that have met Bruce and tell me his quite different in person. I for one would like to sit down with Bruce someday, iron out the small differences we have had over the years and ingage in some card and investment conversation. I'm sure it would be quite interesting and with his knowledge on both subjects, informative.<br><br>In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.
