High End Cards
 

Bruce,

I completely agree with Barry here. It isn't so much the content of your posts as you've had some very interesting posts in the past. However, I cringe when I read some of your posts...

The critics choice
 

I choose street hookers.

Before I go away from this thread, let me interject that anyone who believes that there is a correlation between bank balances or discretionary spending and how much "class" a person possesses, clearly has none. With that, I leave you to prove me right..........:rolleyes:

Disagreement is fine- the angry child like responses of some reflect an unforgivable level of stupidity/ The Board seems limited to those who collect low grade cards. That is fine, and some of the postings are interesting.

However when people start calling you four letter words and hate you because they are so isolated from reality, it is my view that they deserve to be cleansed from our society. Like terrorists, there should be a no holds bar ability to fight back. The Board attempts to avoid confrontation. We (board members) are not always friends, we compete and do what it takes within the law to win our fair share. Those unethical angry men do not deserve anything but disrespect. When a few of them passed away, I did not shed a tear. There is a reason that we have garbage trucks and sewage systems. Some of these posters belong there with rest of the dirt, filth and scum.

Unlike so many, I stand up for what I believe in and will never tolerate the sub human commentary of those low lives.

Wow.....Bruce re-enters a thread he created. A good sign for a change.....

As for ultra-rare cards, some whales have sold, some whales accumulate. Some of the whales that accumulate have the economic wherewithall to NEVER sell them, some have to sell or chose to sell at certain points in time.

Case in point....wonder why the seller of the ULTRA-RARE Boston Garter strip of four sold at this point? Great price realized but was it the highest he (or she) could have achieved?

Your forays into the group here are so interestingly timed.....every couple years you come in, alienate everyone, get banished, obviously BEG Leon to be reinstated, which he does, and rinse and repeat....that would be an analysts field day to try to figure out that type of behavior. I know your health has been sketchy and maybe you're looking for some friendship.

Regardless, your previous comment says that others are "isolated from reality".....you might pop into the bathroom to see who is most isolated from reality.....I think the vast majority of folks here on the board live in reality.....

I'm sure you'll get 8-12 emails of support after this post and buy 1-3 ultra-rare cards in the mean time as well.....

And thanks for stopping by again.....what's the over/under on how long you remain in the midst of the 'arm pit' collectors this time?

Come on Bruce, you are just like everyone else on this board in one important way: you all collect baseball cards. What difference does it make if yours have square corners and someone else's has rounded ones? Does that make them any less worhty? You could have a softer tone towards your fellow collectors and it would help you get along with them better. These are the people you buy, sell, and trade with, so why not keep things friendly?

This thread is totally useless....

I also find it hard to believe that 100+ year old cards would stand the test of time so well. Makes you wonder how many fakes are owned by collectors of exclusively high-end material. Especially given the fact that there are people out there that can do a pretty decent job at producing fake but very realistic PSA holders! Oh well, perhaps authenticity is not the key factor for the wise collector/investor. :rolleyes:

Ahhh classic Dorskind
 

Bruce,

It’s amazing and very humorous how hard you try to send the message that you are someone of such importance. A special person of wealth and distinction if you will, the effort you put forth to paint a picture of a robber baron or captain of industry is comical. :)

However all that truly comes out of your rambling is insight into a sad bitter angry little man. A man while sadly shouting to the rafters with a booming voice about class and elegance on an internet chat board has very little himself. In the end it just comes off as a desperate cry for attention. :rolleyes:

Hilarious keep up the good fight Bruce go get em' tiger! Oh by the way Bruce any new pickups you would care to share with us lowlifes? I’ll see you in the pick thread I guess….

Cheers,

John

I am not Archive . . .
 

Whilst I am also named Bruce, I feel it is important to stress, for some of the newcomers keeping score at home, that I am not "We."


"I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me… "

I think Bruce was bored so he came on here to stir the pot. He's probably enjoying all the drama he's started.

In the 16 hrs since the Bruces started this thread I have managed to swoop into the BST & close 3 deals for raw, but High Grade 1992 Donruss Ken Griffey Jr cards, thanks to 3 private letter alerts.

I totally agree. He derives pleasure from the attention, negative though it may be. Negative attention is better than no attention, I guess.

It's truly the definition of an internet troll: "someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

The irony is that his behavior is so common that it has its own widely accepted definition.

Bruce, any thoughts on some of the recent prices realized for T206 scrap, miscasts, etc.?

PLEASE restart your meds...

I'm shocked and appalled at the level of bigotry you spewed in this reply Bruce.

Recently we've had many discussions about ethics in the hobby from sellers and buyers, none of which is good for the board or the hobby. But in my mind most of that pales in comparison to the filth and hatred you spewed.

I hope Leon seriously considers banning you. Your posts reflect horribly on this board as just about all the threads on here are accessible by simple google searches.

Time to end this thread
 

Meh! Just another sanctimonious windbag.

Next ...

You mean you hope Leon bans him again..... :)

no holds bar


sounds like a fun place to party with some hookers.

Just because I, or another moderator, doesn't like someone or like what someone says, doesn't mean they get banned. I am a firm believer in letting folks hang themselves. If I had locked this thread then more folks wouldn't know the way Bruce is. We have almost 4000 members, there has to be a cuckoo or three with that many people.

Bruce probably pays for some of the cards he makes deals on!

In terms of value, appearance
and opportunity condition matters.

well stated.

Bruce, whilst not high grade, it is the only one known e125 Eddie Plank (SGC30 or ANY grade for that matter) to exist! Try and find another "whale" that has one in better condition, and it is in my collection, even though I am not a condition expert.

I must admit though, you have some amazing stuff :D

true enough, I hoodwinked him on a few psa 8 Wilson Franks which had some sketchy provenance and raked him for a 500% profit on some other rarities.
...........unfortunately, I blew it all on hookers and blow.

Bruce would have made a great Nazi...his constant talk about "cleansing" is spooky IMO. Godwin Rule ( http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-godw...-analogies.htm - THREAD END.
