BTW, the moron who bought the Smith is out a sh#tload more money than the poor sap with the bad Mantle!

Who are you to tell someone else how to spend their hard-earned money on his collection?

That's not possible, David. You see, you're easily intimidated. I'm not.

So what if he did collect the grade. The population reports reads that the buyer of that card owns one of four of that particular PSA 10 graded card. That's not an illusion, that's real. If that's what he paid for, so what. What business is it of yours? How does that purchase affect your life, Travis? Explain that to everyone here.

And how does some guy buying something on eBay that you don't like effect your life? Explain that to everyone here.

Hypocrite.

Because I care about the hobby and I do something about it when it comes to forgeries. I don't sit on the sidelines watching other people do the dirty work.

No videos in nine months, Chris? What happened? Camcorder break? (Or did someone make you an offer you couldn't refuse?)

It doesnt affect my life, i just think its crazy to overpay for a bump in condition that only a microscope can detect, if there is a bump in condition at all.

In my opinion, uber "high grade" 10s are a theoretical grade and can't be consistantly replicated. A 10 could be 9.9 on another day and vice versa. It applies to cards, comics and coins.

That said, if someone wants to spend their money that way, that's their right. I'd prefer to spend my collecting dollars on 25 "near perfect" somethings than one imaginary perfect exemplar.

I'd rather be a jerk who is never intimidated and bullied, than someone who isn't a jerk who wimps out at the first sign of trouble.

[David Atkatz]

You'd just rather be a bully yourself. And you are. As well as being a self-centered, egotistical, moron. So proud of yourself for yelling at nameless eBay buyers on YouTube.

Real guts there, Chris. LOL

That's right, David, is does take guts to do what I do. I have my own method of doing things and that's what I do.

For someone who wimped out on the Piedmont thread, you sure have a lot to say.

I will end this here by stating, David, you're an agitator because you have nothing else to contribute here on Net54.

I will no longer reply to any Atkatz comments. I took the bait and this time I do apologize to the members here for allowing Atkatz to hijack this thread and for my contributing to that hijacking.

I don't understand why posts like this are tolerated on this forum??

I agree. This place is turning into nothing but a name calling contest, with two people who can't play in sandbox together. Really pathetic

[novakjr]

Dude!!! What the hell happened in here? David c'mon quit pokin at Chris. It's completely uncalled for.

Anyways. It's one thing for a thread to go off topic, BUT not when there's already a thread about the topic. If you're gonna argue about the PSA 10 Ozzie, do it in the PSA 10 Ozzie thread.

And the one immediately preceding it should be tolerated, right?

David, you've called him a jerk, hypocrite, self-righteous shmuck, and self-centered, egotistical, moron. After all of this, he called you an agitator. Step back and read the thread again, sir. YOU are dragging this thread down, and you know exactly what you are doing. I ask you to quote one post you've made on this thread that has had any purpose other than to stir the pot.

While we're at it, if someone is willing to spend $20,000 of their money on a baseball card is an "idiot," couldn't that name also be attached to someone who spends $10,000-20,000 on a signed baseball?

While we're at it (again,) I'm tired of hearing Chris bring up your continued silence on the Piedmont situation. How about breaking the cone of silence on that one so we can put it to rest, too?
