Steve Yawitz might make a return to cards soonish. Am in touch with him on Facebook as we share a passion for football - him for Arsenal and me for Liverpool.

Every time Barry calls or refers to someone as "ole buddy" I think of Jay Gatsby calling everyone "old sport."

Quote:
"Fixed the World's Series? The idea staggered me. I remembered, of course, that the World's Series had been fixed in 1919, but if I had thought of it at all I would have thought of it as a thing that merely happened, the end of some inevitable chain. It never occurred to me that one man could start to play with the faith of fifty million people – with the single-mindedness of a burglar blowing a safe. "Why isn't he in jail?" "They can't get him, old sport. He's a smart man."

Great line -- Ken Burns used it for one of the episodes in his baseball series (the faith of 50 million people).

Thanks for thinking about me!
I sadly must admit that when you mentioned Gatsby, my mind quickly ran to the the Black Sox Scandal as noted above(Wolfsheim---Rothstein) and the search for T206 cards with the 'fancy' Fitzgerald 'F' on the back. I must very soon expand my list of avocations. I know 'Jay Gatsby' by many other faces and names from my Davidson days. I would think, if my memory serves me, that you,too, remember the same from your WF days. Lots of money,etc. in those N.C. 'villages'. I am still pleased that I did a bit better than George Wilson with my days and I know full well that you have, ole buddy. all the best, Barry |

Barry, no North Carolina in my past -- undergrad at Michigan. But I will reserve judgment on your mistake -- after all, reserving judgment is a matter of infinite hope.

your quotation was quite generous. thank you. my memory did not serve me well.
I suspect I was 'remembering' our good friend J L's sojourn in NC d u, but I think I will risk 'remembering' at some earlier hour. I hope that I have not 'committed [myself] to the following of a grail.' barry |

Just one?
Peter Chao, Julie Vogner, the guy who always talked about a Johnny Kling stainglass, BcD (who doesn't even post on fb much anymore), Dan Mathewson, Jim Crandall, Hal Lewis, Mike Wentz, Colt McClelland. Oh yeah, and the guy that founded this board, Elliot something or other. Last edited by Griffins; 12-12-2013 at 11:30 PM. |

I could not resist
In tonight's searches about Twitter people I might be interested in following; This name stood out: Marshall Barkman III.
I am now following him and he is apparently a major new card playa -- but one old card stood out in his posts: He truly has been bringing da noize https://twitter.com/1syndicate1 |
