Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Sometimes there is a correlation between what is happening in the world economy, and how it affects the baseball card industry. Problem is these threads start with a reasonable discussion and end up with the left and the right calling each other every name they can think of. It always ends badly.

Posted By: <b>Rob D.</b><p>No worries, Al.<br><br>If an anti-Bush thread gets started, you'll have plenty of time to chime in. Those don't seem to get locked so quickly.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Think whatever you like Rob, but after Leon put forth the warning of no more politics about a month ago I try to end the political threads as soon as they begin or as soon as I see them. A thread that doesn't start off as political but turns political will not be locked, but an effort will be put forth to get the thread back on track. <br><br>So if you'd like to test it and start an anti-Bush thread go ahead and see how far it gets.

Posted By: <b>Al</b><p>Red Sox here June 26 - 27 - 28. I "might" have access to those tix we talked about last year. If interested and juris prudence will turn you loose, let me know. The seats are hard to beat, just 4-5 rows behind the Red Sox dugout on the 3rd base side, AND free. Might be able to score two tix so you can travel with a buddy, can't promise, but let me know if your schedule permits possibility.<br><br>You know how to find me.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Al,<br><br><br><br>If Jeff passes I will take you up on that--but first you would have to sell me the 1955 psa 8s I need(of course for SMR)--watch out for Jeff on the 55s--he may try to sweet talk you into selling him what he needs on the cheap. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I have been out of town at a National Sales Conference, in Weston FL- near Boca Raton, for the last few days...be back on Sunday. I don't think we lock threads too quickly on almost any subject unless we have had a lot of OT recently or the subject matter is one of the few with 0 tolerance. I think we have a pretty good balance and my helper moderators make very good decisions, Thanks guys.....best regards
