BobJim- Fair enough, I was just pointing out that many sets just simply don't have any 88s or better in existence, at least not yet. I'm sure to you the challenge of finding an 88 or better in the Goudey series is akin to my finding a decent looking 1911 Zeenut with rounded corners but nice eye appeal. Both searches are tough.
As far as thick skin goes, I have had to deal with a couple of guys on the board, lurkers or otherwise, who feel the need to sneak around whenever I post an honest admission, whether it be on the soaking question or trying to buy a card early on ebay at a price set by the seller on a counter-offer, trying to cause trouble, so I know the feeling too. The flip side is that there are a huge number of solid, great guys (and gals JMK) on this board who are very personable and the kind of people I have been very glad to meet in person and are just as nice in person as they seem in cyberspace.
