Looking for the know all guy on Pre War baseball.
 

Was looking for the know all guy on Pre War baseball stuff. Someone I can correspond with some questions by email, and eventually contact by phone. Looking for advise on large collection. Was a member many years ago but not since the site changed over a few years back.

You should contact peter chao.

You need to talk to RHETT YEAKLEY !!!

The guys to talk to are...
 

Bruce Dorskind

Ted Z gets my vote. Leon, Kawika or half of the guys on here, you cant really go wrong.

Kawika don't know shit.

+1

All this needs is Joe Jackson somewhere and it gets my vote for thread of the year.

Another vote for Kawika.

Joe Who?

There's a guy in Brooklyn, but I'm not sure he ever made the big leap from the telegraph to the phone.

I was not a member back when he posted but I have gone back and read some of the old threads from a few years back and he seriously dominates :)

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or offended having my name in this thread!:D

I know a thing or two about cards, but I'll never attain Chao-hood!

Thanks for the responses guys, I have pm'd a few guys with some questions. Just trying to figure out what I have. And what options I have to keep it in good shape. I appreciate all the help so far.

You should call me. Because the bride calls me mister know-it-all several times a year.

Zanidakis, Yeakley, and McDonald each know a right smart about old cards. Collectively, they're a treasure trove of knowledge. They even know which bits of perceived "common knowledge" is wrong. Ask those guys. Or post something up on this board, almost always at least one person here will know, if it's known at all.

It's nice to learn that a couple of folks believe I am smarter than I think I am. I'm not claiming to be a complete idiot, I have experienced quite the learning curve since I and this hobby joined each other ten years ago and I have gained much expertise on the subject of overspending, however including my name along with the likes of Zanidakis and Yeakley puts me in very fast company. Kind of like Christy Mathewson having a career record of 373-188 and brother Henry going 0-1; collectively they won a lot of games. I tiptoe around Ted and Rhett and quite a few others around here as well (including Mr. Wakefield himself whom I believe had a cup of coffee with the Frankfort Statesmen in 1910 and just lacks his own card to complete a run of T210-6s). The board itself is indeed a "treasure trove of knowledge" - I don't think there is any one "know-it-all guy" - and the OP (or anyone else) could not go wrong by putting up a question relating to old cardboard; it is amazing what remote esoterica can be spoken to knowledgeably by someone or another around here. Since the OP's question involved advice about a large collection, and presumably the acquisition or selling thereof, he might not want to put it to the board at large, but if he did he would gradually see who it was that might be most helpful to him and could then take it to private communication.
