Could use 1 more speaker at the Net54baseball National Dinner
 

Hey Folks
There have been a few folks that cannot speak at the dinner, who were hopeful to do it. We have 3 lined up......Mike Berkus, Josh Evans and Chris Cavalier. We have room for one more. Please PM or email me if you would like to be considered. And please don't respond with someone else who might like to. There are a million people who might want to, but unless you have spoken with them and they want to do it, please refrain. Worst case, I will do some dances from the 1980s on stage to fill in the time. That should be entertaining. Thanks much!!

Lichtman has offered to speak on "The History of Shill Bidding: from Ancient Greece to Modern America." He only requires a modest fee.

Travis has offered to speak on how to deflect and ignore when posting on the Net54 site.

Hopefully there will be no volunteers. I would love to see Leon do the entire Thriller dance on stage.

It will be more like the worm. And it all depends on my alcohol intake at that point in the Dinner. I am usually double fisting Corona's.......

Dude, I haven't seen 'The Robot' or the 'Running Man' in a while. If you are taking requests, those would be mine ;)

Maybe you can get Braun. He has a lot of free time now...

Adrian?:eek:

Could we get Keith Olbermann to discuss the Masturbating T206 Wagner guy? Id pay 10k for that!

Sorry
 

For all those PMing me, Im sorry, I won't be able to attend the national this year due to my wife expecting soon....

My discussion on E90-1 Shaded Reverse Borders will have to wait until next year...Leon, pencil me in 2014!

Music?
 

I'm putting a combo together, but am still three short.

Name of the new group ..........The FOUR TOPPS

"I Can't Help Myself...........":D

God that's good. I'm in. You know if you just "reach out, I'll be there."

Instead of the final speaker, you should just have an open forum discussion on the vintage aspects of the hobby.

How about an open forum discussion on whether or not TPA should be allowed to stay in business.

You mean TPG? Or are you really against Fiduciaries?

Leon - ya had to think this thread was going to go in this direction right?

:)

Yeah, pretty much....

Yeah..those also...:)

Maybe????? Probably not!
 

Leon,
Normally I would be glad to make a special guest apperance to speak at the dinner. Sadly, I have developed a phobia of public speaking after my last two speeches. Have you ever been booed in sign language? I have. Twice! A young couple let me know their displeasure. Their hands were moving faster than a windmill in a tornado, and it didn't sound good. At a convention three months later and three hundred miles from my first encounter with them I was introduced as guest speaker. They were front row center! As I walked on stage their hands were moving; it wasn't clapping. I left the stage immediately. As for your dinner, I just can't chance it. Can you blame me? Sam Majors ;) ;) ;)

How about a revival of the Baseball Hall of Fame Rookie Card gamefrom 2010? :)

I can juggle, but only two balls at a time and I get nervous so no one could watch me.

Another idea
 

I want to discuss the second printing of BOSS MAN BASEBALL

Now that is what a game should be like, before the world of computers and laptops!

It was probably more fun, than it would be now, when you were still doing the HOF rookie thing, no?

Try to book them... ;)

No wait. I can't juggle. That was just something I saw on television. Sorry.

You're right, Leon. Instead, how about if we go with a Negro League Baseball game in honor of the book that I have been working on.........

I don't know how many Negro League collectors will be at the Dinner but anything is worth a try. :) ......PM or email if you feel like doing something. Each speaker will get approximately 15 minutes....

The Silver Eagle
 

I know I shouldn't, but I nominate Tris.

Brian

How about Anthony Bass, Rollie Fingers on guitar and a Drum back?

I Got A Feeling about it.

Scott, an early congratulations on your incoming little one! :) I hope everything goes smoothly. God bless!

I was just kidding, Leon, I had my moment in the sun, now I'll stick to the shade......

just out of curiosity...is he a board member?

kevin

Keith Olbermann makes a rare appearance. The Masturbating T206 Wagner guy? no longer

I sense you're asking me to speak, Leon.

OK, I won't play hard to get, as long as I can do my Lipset impression: "Back scans? Banned!"

As tempting as that is we have another speaker lined up. :)

great leon!
is it perhaps lew lipset himself?

Well, I have respect for Lew. And he has helped me several times in the hobby. Alas, it will not be Lew speaking.

Carlos Danger?

Carlos will be texting his way in............

He puts the 'douche' in fiduciaries..............
