We just purchased a "FRESH" T206 Eddie Plank and are BUYING Vintage Cards! ***

Thanks for the reply Scott. Hank, I agree with you and do not understand the need for advertisements like this on the main board when there are already other avenues for advertisement such as the banner ads and the emails blasts. At the least, this should be labeled as an advertisement in the thread title in my opinion.

Standing by for the infomercial.
Congrats on the Plank.

You can't expect a good outcome when you walk the Plank.

This thread should have been labeled as a paid ad and that was my mistake. Otherwise, They will continue just the way they have been. My apologies if they offend anyone but I don't think they are that big of a deal. It's not like there are a lot of them. But of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for the comments and thanks to JustCollect for not only being good hobby friends of 15yrs + but also part of the community as an advertiser and participant. I hope it continues for multiples of the next 15 yrs.

I'll amend the thread title for the sake of complete and full disclosure.

I'm not looking to ruffle anyone's feathers. This also isn't out of the blue. We are a paying banner advertiser, received Leon's approval and posted accordingly with the advertorial.

With regard to those that wish to bait or engage, I will take pass. We have too much respect for the community to clutter the boards with such banter.

Accordingly, I will try to answer serious questions that are posed. Also, please forgive the lack of complete details with respect to the Plank, but we are building a nice presentation and we will gladly share it with you when it is ready.

The card has been held privately for several generations and was one of the lowest condition cards in the collection.

You know how much I love the forum, Leon, and I'm all for ads to support it. I hope it makes a lot of money, I'm a capitalist all the way. But why isn't this post under the B/S/T section? Even if you label them, I think mixing paid posts in with the heart of the forum itself is a big mistake, and will diminish both.

I have sold quite a few cards to Scott and Leighton at the past few nationals. Every year I enjoy chatting with them- they are very knowledgable and have a great eye for cards. In my experience they have always paid very fairly, and high quality cards for the grade were treated as such. I'd be happy to sell more cards to them or refer customers to them, as I know they would treat them fairly.

I'm glad you have good dealings with them. My dealings with Scott has been the exact polar opposite - very UNPROFESSIONAL. For those who choose to deal with them, more power to you. I can only give my personal experience with him.

They have been going on for years, Hank. If they were in the BST section then they wouldn't get the traffic to justify the cost to advertise them. There won't be too many as there have been so few (and they have been going on for approximately 3-4 yrs) you haven't even noticed them . Take care....and yes, you and I have had some very good discussions concerning the forum and you were a true friend at the last National.....I appreciated that. take care..

Awesome; I didn't see this before my last post
