I disagree John - The Burkett has had something added to the card that wasnt there - namely paper. Completely different situation. |

“I am personally offended and sick that anyone would collect a card of Hitler. That might be the single most repulsive collectible I have ever seen and to the owner, what can you say? That guy killed many of my relatives and he gets a trading card? Wow!! I can't figure out who is worse Hitler or the guy that is collecting his cards.” |

Ok on the Burkett point taken, but you have no issue with me selling you a card that was cleaned from filth to new only to not disclaim it to you because it made it in a holder. To me I think were all splitting hairs here between stealing a pack of gum and a car. To me it’s stealing either way but everyone has his or her own way of twisting it to fit his or her mold. |

why dont we keep this on the current point - charlie was by no means the only one who found the post puzzling, offensive, etc. Steve explained and all was forgotten/forgiven - why bring it back up now? |

Because I just got around to reading it Josh, I didn’t realize there was time limit to respond to comments made or that I needed your permission. I apologize for voicing an opinion to the comments made on a discussion forum. |

You certainly dont need my permission - it just came across as an attack on a tangental topic that was dead and buried. I found it unnecessary, if you or others disagree, then by all means go right ahead and blast away. |

This is what is so funny about this forum, Charlie made a comment saying that people who would collect items of dark historical background , were in a fact on the same level if not worse than that of what they may collect. How was that not an attack from Charlie read his quote above. |

Seems to me there was no other reason for the recent comments re: Hitler (current remarks) than to start a disagreement. |

This may be a completely stupid suggestion, but couldn't the grading companies set a minimum weight requirement for a card which would help detect trimming and stretching. This probably would only work for cards that would normally grade a 6 or better, since normal wear might account for weight loss on lower grade cards. In addition, it would have to only apply to cards where there is uniformity in size. |

I think this is a very good thread...almost strayed a few times but not too badly. I will politely ask that we not talk about Hitler stuff anymore in this thread. I don't know of a Pre-WWII baseball card with him on it. Notice, I said "in this thread" because I don't really ever want to deny some discussion, on almost anything, if it can circle back around to what the board is about. For the record there are 4 moderators on the board but I do make most of the decisions.....hence the "forum owner" part. Now carry on....oh yeah, I also don't have a problem with a Q tip and water on a card, or possibly soaking to ONLY get remnants off, or gum erasing a mark. I spoke with some principles of one of the largest auction houses yesterday and they asked my stand on this subject. I told them what I just stated and I won't be a part of anything else....although I do know it goes on...but so do a lot of things I won't do or be a part of....regards |

It wouldn't be the first time someone has left a board, then returned, then left, then returned, then get banned, then return, etc. |

Everyone seems to miss my point I only mentioned you know who because it was mentioned above. Not because I enjoy or like the topic. |

Since it was reiterated I think I better set a small issue straight too. Since I have been sort of running the board only one person has been banned and allowed back. He hasn't posted again and was only banned for a day or so....no one else has been banned and let come back on this shift, as far as I remember..Many have left and come back though....One other thing too...I do think we should be somewhat tolerable of what folks collect as long as their thoughts and sentiments are in keeping with some sort of moral views...and this is the last on that subject, please...Be prepared to have your post deleted, from here on out, if it isn't on the original topic of this thread......best regards... |

Just curious, for those who have soaked cards for whatever reason, (to get paper off or to remove wrinkles or to clean cards, etc.) which cards have proven susceptible to being soaked? Obviously T206s do, and Frank mentioned he soaked a Home Run Kisses (I had been told never to soak a Zeenut because of disintegration issues and aren't the Zeenuts and Home Run Kisses very similar in paper stock?). I would think OJs would be a terrible candidate because of the way they were made, but what about glossy cards like Obaks, E106s, T213-2s, etc? Anyone? |
