Just got my Oct 6th issue of SCD and saw an announcement that Keith Olbermann will be writing an occasional column about vintage cards. The first one is scheduled for the Oct 13th issue, and will be about the N690 Kalamazoo Bats. |

Yesterday, Keith bid Phil Rizzuto a happy birthday on his show (he's 89, about a month older than my dad). For me, Mr. Olbermann's show is can't miss TV, and not just for the baseball touches. |

I agree - "Countdown" is one of my favorite of all shows, not just news shows. There is a lot of very subtle humor, and of course the bb references are great too! |

Increase interest?? I hope not!! Isn't there enough people already going after vintage baseball items?? I mean prices are rising on almost everything and you want MORE competition?? The only way that is good is if you are planning on cashing out your collection. |

the Topps Turkey Red, Cracker Jack, 206 and 205 issues of the last 3-4 years have drawn more people than you think into vintage cards. The inserts/buy backs they did spur peoples interest. I also think the Heritage sets have brought some newer people into 1950's collecting. I'm fine with the 50's people but stay out of vintage everyone........shiny stuff is much better... |

He is funny and intelligent, but his politics are serious (thank God). He says some things that have needed saying for a long time. He even dropped in a subtle allusion to John Cleese's "Fawlty Towers" yesterday. |

He is always interesting, often humorous, and not, in my mind, out in "left" field. Just because he has the guts to say what sometimes needs to be said, no matter how controversial, doesn't make him a pariah. I have always enjoyed him, going back to his ESPN days. Yes he can be a tad arrogant but he is a breath of fresh air these days. |

I think Keith Olbermann is, first and foremost, a political commentator who does a very effective job of providing counterpoint to the conservative commentators who seem to predominate talk-media. His show is not balanced (all the guest pundits share his views), but I don't think it pretends to be. I think the sports coverage, while excellent, is clearly secondary and the show-biz coverage is for laughs. Clever and entertaining (imo), I wouldn't miss his show. Mark |

Dare I say I am a subscriber to the SCD publication and Old Cardboard. First it was bad enough that I have to look at Mr. Mint's mug in each issue and now possibly Olbermann's political views. |

The two people I always watch on the news networks are Olberman and Lou Dobbs. Dobbs is the absolute best. He has balanced point-counter point people and he refuses to use politcally correct language, especially when it comes to the issue of illegal aliens. He is also a great champion of the middle class and boarder security. If it wasn't for him, I would have never known that Bush allowed port security to be sold to Dubai, a country known to support terrorism. I never heard about this on any other network or show. |

Olberman is on the far left wing of the political spectrum and uses the show to promote his agenda. His abysmal ratings show it doesn't have much of a following. |

he's right in the pack with the rest of MSNBC. Not a highly watched network. Not a good decision for the faltering General Electric when they hooked that one up....... |

I guess I'm one of the few here that became a fan of Olbermann as a result of his political commentary and not as a result of his sports or card articles. I've actually never read any of the card-related things he's written, so I'm looking forward to reading his stuff. |

Keith and I have been casual friends for over 20 years, since he was a sports reporter up in Croton-on-Hudson. While I only watch his show occasionally I love his irreverent humor; I think he is extremely bright and I do share his liberal politics. I know he gets badly beaten in the ratings every night by that O'Reilly creep but that is the result of America being so conservative right now. And of course he has a liberal slant; I'm guessing that is what they are paying him for. NBC already has Brian Williams to report the news; Keith's job is to turn it upside down. |

but I certainly see that O'Reilly is as much to the right as Olbermann is to the left. Overall I like O'Reilly but he can be incredibly beliggerent (sp?) and obnoxious. But that's his job I guess.....ratings, ratings, ratings..... |

Latvia is just my metaphor for the world coming to an end. Same with Chuck E. Cheese. When I see something that signals the demise of popular culture, I usually respond: "why don't they just open another Chuck E. Cheese?" It's just my own thing. |

Sitting @ my desk in Atlanta. At worst he's a Secular "Regressive" and a great entertainer. As they say he calls it as he sees it. Not everyone's gonna see it the same. No sacred cows with him. At the end of the day his job is to stir it up and it appears he does a good job. It's all about perspective. |
