I sold them to Jim at my cost and was content in the knowledge that I had helped out a fellow collector. That feeling was validated when Jim posted the link to his ImageEvent Southern League display and I could take pleasure in knowing that I had a small part in that spectacular collection. Fast forward to yesterday, the mail arrives with a registered surprise, contained within this beautiful card, one venerable collector helping out a T206 newbie put together a back collection. Thank you very much, Jim. That was a righteous thing you did.

Jim, is one of the most stand up guys in the hobby. Great story.

Congrats James on the baby!

There seems to be a baby boom going on amongst Net54ers.

[SethY]

I showed these last month, but here are my own scans that I was finally able to post today!

A Big Congrats on the new addition. Being a father is better than anything in this world

[Robextend]

Congrats James!! My pickups were much less eventful...

[cfc1909]

just wanted to say thanks for adding to my southern collection-it is nice to have collecting friends like you.

[Orions father]

My newest N28.

[FUBAR]

that mike kelly looks alot nicer then a 30.... nice pick up

[Orions father]

Thanks. It has a small bit of paper loss and a light glue stain on the back, but it displays so nicely I couldnt pass it up.

[M's_Fan]

Definitely one of the jewels of my collection, I'm pretty excited about this one:

[tbob]

Thanks Glen for the two cards. I collect Portland cards and these two were especially hard to find. I also was excited about the backstamp on the Butler.

[Robextend]

[tbob]

An eBay BIN at a low price. Back is perfect and front is very nice for a 20.

Jeff, I agree; Rob, thanks.

EDITED TO ADD: SOLD, THANKS FOR LOOKING

[Jim VB]

I thought that post #71 meant he was taking offers???

And I thought Prizner bought it in post #73???


Edited to add: Lichtman's a hell of an attorney. He answered before I asked.

[Bicem]

my post was just a shill bid, I actually think that card is gross.

If you shilled I am retracting my bid and canceling my snipe!!

[Rob D.]

By the way, Jeff, good luck in the auction for the Ruth. Hope you end up getting it.

[iggyman]

Calvin, I can offer $100 more then what the sale price was to Prizner Leon Rob.


Rob, I have a '21 Ruth Exhibit for sale. Are you interested? One small detail, it will take me a few weeks to get it to you. Luckily, this is all above board snice it is not happening on the B/S/T board. No chance of being banned. Well.....maybe Calvin might be banned, but if he didn't make any money on it then he is cool.

Lovely Day...

[Rob D.]

Iggy,

I don't appreciate your tone. You've ruined the hobby for me. Heading to the B/S/T to sell my entire collection. At cost.

Thanks a lot.

[calvindog]

Iggy, not a problem, the card is yours! I paid $1500 $2100 I mean $3000 for the card! Paypal, please add 3%.

I can pay via a PayPal gift ...

[Jim VB]

You guys are ALL heading to my ignore list. Please PM me!

The Axis of Evil's recent posts are obviously directed toward ME. I wasn't born yesterday. Moderator, please lock this thread. Moderator? Moderator?

[Chicago206]

These posts give me solid confirmation that what im doing is correct. Who would want to hang out in a place with such sophomoric bullies?

[wonkaticket]

I have a list of folks who have cards I need or want..is there somewhere I can post this list? That way you guys can ruin the hobby for them and I can finally get some cards I need at cost.

[Kawika]

Just what is it that you're doing?

Hey! Some of us are Juniors and Seniors!

Sorry, Jim. That joke was already used back in the Archive thread. Don't think that adding an "n" to frequency lets you end run on Intellectual Property Law. I will waive the nominal fee this time as a courtesy to a fellow sophomore.

I can't argue with this position, unfortunately.

Now is it true that there will be a Net 54 (bullies only) dinner at the National?

[Jim VB]

"n" deleted. Thanks for the typing lesson.

R.E.N does a great cover of "What's the Frenquency, Kenneth?"

Dear Calvin,

Sorry, our deal is off! I've had this auction running now for the past few days and I haven't even gotten a sniffle. Rob is a no-show and it looks like I've broken a few hearts along the way. Thanks but no thanks! Hopefully, you will have better luck when Grand Salami is online.

I enjoyed it, too. Until your post. Now, not so much.

Thanks for ruining it.

Lovely Day, Iggy...

Iggy, I specifically asked for a $5000 hidden reserve on that listing. I will have one of my underlings bid on it (after all, they all love 1921 Exhibits) but they will stop right before the ceiling bid put in by an honest bidder. Of course, if one of my associates wins the card I will just send it to the next auction house to sell.
