Soap Opera Central (periodic recap)
 

@MIke: He's now strictly focusing on a 52T set and a Mantle master set, and selling the others.

@Maniac: He sold a very valuable coin not long ago.

C'mon you two. Keep up!:D

Scott,

Now that's funny. But keep in mind that if you're coming to this board looking to Shag, you might be better off taking things into your own hand(s).

On the other hand, if you're looking to sell a Shag, you might have better success with that:D

Adrian -- too much information in my opinion. Many of us have personal issues that we don't air in public.

I'm on board with Bill, X100000000000000000000000000+++++++++++++

Nevermind, not worth it...

I am selling these 3 cards to put the money towards my 52 Topps set and my Mantle master set. The only T206 card that I will be keeping is my Red Murray error card (Murr'y). I find the Murray card to cool of a card to sell I enjoy owning it!! I just can't afford the T206 set and the 52 Topps set at the same time....maybe years from now I will go back to the T206 set.

I will try and stay away as much as I can....I think in the last 2 weeks I have really reduced my number of posts here.

I do contracts with a friend.

Well this post is post # 1000 just want to say to those who helped me during my journey to # 1000....thanks a million!!!

Post # 13

I'm right there with ya. Was never into drugs though, and alcohol was easier to kick than I thought it would be. Cigarettes are proving tough, but I've never really made much of an attempt to quit. From what I understand, convincing yourself to quit is the hardest part... And Trust me, a sex addiction is fun on the surface, but it can be as much trouble as anything else. Even after kicking it, your mind still wanders and plots, especially with how readily accessible sex/porn is on the internet. And no, I'm not talking about this fake Tiger Woods, self-indulgent, top of the world, excuse for when you get caught crap. Which seems to be the case with most celebrity sex addictions.

Once you get your priorities straight(family, work) it's a matter of finding that glue to fill the voids.. For some it's religion, for me it's baseball/music.

Congratulation to Adrian!! 1000 posts, in what has to be record time!
I think Adrian is a wonderful member of net54. Eccentric perhaps but at least he is not a dried up prune of a curmudgeon like some of you/us constipated old farts. Many happy decades from now, Adrian might just be one of the leading lights of the hobby. I have no doubt that Adrian is a good man. Dave Pierson:)

Cardboard Junkie

Thanks sir that means a LOT to me!!!:)

I just want to add there are a LOT of good people here as well!!!

Post # 14

Adrian, I think I have posted this concern before several weeks ago. You do not seem like a bad guy to me. You are putting way too much personal information out there on the internet. This is potentially dangerous. In my profession, I defend people charged with crimes. Many are good people who have made bad choices. But, make no mistake, there are some really bad guys out there who could easily track you down based on the information you are volunteering. Smarter people than you have been scammed and/or injured because of personal information like this. There is no reason to let people know how much money you have to spend or how valuable your collection is or to share very personal information about your childhood or health issues that a scammer could use against you. Please be careful.

+1. Addresses can be found in about 5 clicks, even in Canada. I just did it.

People with criminal records can't even enter Canada for one...second my 2 neighbors are RCMP officers (same thing as the FBI) and third I did over 20 years of martial arts....kempo karate (I am a second degree black belt), aikido (I have my 1st degree black belt) and mixed martial arts so I can more than defend myself....you forget I lived in the poorest neighborhoods when I was young and had to defend myself a LOT (probably close to 100 times) of times on the streets. My dad was a very aggressive man and very strong when he was not sick he started me at the age of around 5 in martial arts.

And finally ALL (and that is not many) my valuables are in 2 separate banks in their vaults....and even if the person tortured me and said he would kill me if I do not comply I would let him simply kill me (I would NEVER honor his requests no matter what he said or did) that is if he was able to get to that point without me defending myself.

Guns are very hard to come by in Canada as well.

I do not act like a tough guy (martial arts showed me to respect others unless I am in danger of course) with people but I sure can defend myself if need be.

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

Am I in a movie?

Sure seems like it.........

Do we have conclusive evidence that Adrian isn't the guy from A Beautiful Mind?:eek:

Glad members gave him selling advice...these are his listings in the last few days??? Fastest to 1000 posts and the most listings/cancels for just a few cards in a few days. He is a record breaker :)

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=...mplete=1&rt=nc

it might be more towards Steven Segal starring in Rainman II, what happens in Vegas................

Looks like the Mantle quest is over too. He goes through collecting focuses like Steinbrenner through managers.

bender07

No the Mantle quest is not over it was a way for me to save the images of the cards I purchased just in case I do decide to up grade to PSA 9's one day and that I do not have a camera (before Ebay takes the images down). I am not the best with computers so I just figured that was the way I would do it. I listed the cards then took them off right away...now I have pictures of my cards for the future if need be. Do you see my Mantle cards up for sale...NO....why...because I am telling you guys the truth!!!!

As for the T206's I did not know what the hell I was doing never sold a baseball card in my life on Ebay so I tried a LOT of various listings....that is why I came here for listing advise. I listened to the advise and listed them for 0.99$ for a 10 day listing without a reserve price.

Geezzzz some of you guys make up stories in your mind!!! Just ask me in private I will tell you the truth of why I do this or that. I am sticking with the 52 Topps set and the Mantle master set that and my T206 Red Murray error card....that is it for a long while....and ''maybe'' a E90-1 Caramel Shoeless Joe Jackson rookie...if I can find a nice looking one at a decent price.

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

For once in my life...i can see the future...its so vivid and clear!

Ugh, okay. So you created 5 different listings for your Mantles with titles like "low buy it now 1525$ value" so you could save the images. Makes sense.

bender07

Believe what you want to believe the Mantle cards are NOT I repeat NOT for sale. I even added a few to my set this week. I deleted my 1st time saving them on Ebay ("low buy it now 1525$ value")...then decided it would be best to save the images hence why I did it twice. I was not sure I wanted yes or no to go after PSA 9 Mantle cards because of their cost...still not sure.

Again do you see them up for sale...no...again why...simple because they are not for sale. Do you see any of my 52 Topps up for sale or my T206 Red Murray error card...no...because they are not for sale. Do you see my 52 Topps Mantle up for sale...no...why because I will die before I sell it and it will go to my niece...I think this should be clear enough!!!

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

Adrian I empathize with your issues but why do you have to post 15 times a day when one or two is good enough for everyone else here? It seems to bespeak a certain narcissism, no?

Makes perfect sense.

Peter_Spaeth

Because a FEW people tend to think I am lying every time I say something and I know I am NOT lying so does Leon.

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

bender07

Thanks for finally understanding my logic of why I did what I did!!!:)

Leon told me I could use some extra posts the other day so I am using them today.

OK enough for me today I am going to watch the hockey game that starts in 5 minutes.

Last post for today no more extra one's from Leon...I figure an extra 5 was enough...he did not say but I figure that would be enough.

Have a good evening guys!!

Peter,

The difference is that if we even approach 15 posts in a single day it would be an exception and there would be a reason. It would be an anomaly. For Adrian, it is scaling DOWN.:eek:

Can't say that I understand it but you seem to which is enough for me!

Jesus Christ, you put 10 Mickey Mantle vintage cards into a legally binding auction (if they sold) not once, not twice, but six times...just to "get pictures of them"? There is no logic in doing that. None. You take out your digital camera, or cell phone, take pictures of them, and upload them to Imageshack, or some other image hosting site. Or, you save the images on an external hard drive, or a flash drive.

You're certifiable, man. I've seen a lot of shit on the internet, but you take the cake.

2800 years ago, when the Romans coined the phrase "caveat emptor", who knew it would be so apropos now on a sports card forum?

I should sell this script to Hollywood, see if maybe I could retire young. You just can't make this stuff up.

the 'stache

People like you are NEVER happy and you know what now that I know you better I am happy that you are not a happy person....makes me feel good to know I went threw all the shit I did and ended happy in life while some scum bag like you has a bad life. I enjoy been young and having the cards that I have and can now afford...sucks to be you!!!

You must be a real hit with the ladies....hahahaha....women love negative men......hahahaha!!! What a loser you have to be try and put people down over the net!!!

You are the type of JERK that never learns....and life came to bite you in the ass for it!!!

Post # 1

Whatever happened to talking about baseball cards??


I just don't have the time anymore to read these threads

and I can't seem to find the slap forehead smiley.

the 'stache

I HAVE REPORTED YOU TO LEON....YOU WILL LEARN TO KEEP YOUR NASTY COMMENTS TO YOURSELF!!! You want to be a JERK go be a JERK somewhere else and let use the baseball fans talk baseball without all your bullshit!!!

And that goes for any other nasty people I will from now on report you to Leon right away...you can't have a positive attitude and talk baseball cards get the hell off my topics.

Post # 2

Ah, now you come with the ad hominem attacks.

But ya, you were never selling those cards. You were just listing them for sale to get their pictures. Uh huh /wink wink :rolleyes:

I don't think you're a very happy person at all, Adrian. I think you're a highly disturbed individual who has a penchant for lying, and you create drama because you thrive off of the attention. Perhaps you're not fulfilled, and you need some approval here. That, I feel, is very sad. You're the girl in a bikini doing a hand stand while yelling "look at me, pay attention to me!". When somebody uses logic to blow apart your carefully-created facade, you resort to personal attacks because you've got no other recourse. Your attack posts are little temper tantrums that everybody sees. Oh, you'll calm down eventually, and start telling us what a "great guy" you are, but your actions speak louder than words. And those actions are frightening. You have an inability to follow rules, and you are dishonest. You are lying to the members of the forum, and you are lying to yourself.

As for me, I am a very happy person, despite all I've been through. I have a wonderful family, and great friends.

You want to know what I've been through? You think your life has been rough? I was born with the tarta (type I) form of a congenital bone disease called osteogenesis imperfecta. My doctors told my parents I would never walk when I was born. By the time I was 16, I'd had 30 major fractures. I spent my entire childhood and teen years running back and forth to the hospital. I've seen bones sticking out, I have scars all over my body, and I've spent months at a time in one cast or another, and I've endured more pain in my life than you ever will. And even with all that, I managed to pull myself up, get an education, and a real career. I'm a licensed stock broker, and was preparing to take my RIA so I could start managing portfolios when I destroyed my back helping my girlfriend move into her new home. The doctors had told me by the time I'd reached adulthood, the OI would no longer be an issue. That was the medical knowledge at the time. She's just moved to Texas while finalizing her divorce, and we'd been dating for five months when I broke three vertebra in my back carrying a television up some stairs. She was the love of my life, and eventually I lost her because after I was hurt, after all the back surgeries I had, after the long series of SI and facet joint injections, I just couldn't go out and do anything with her anymore. She wanted me to travel with her when she did her modeling gigs (she was a print and runway model for Ford's Modeling Agency in Chicago). But I lost her because I tried to help her, and an act of kindness ended up putting me on long term disability. Now for over four years, I've spent every day on vicodin for the pain, flexeril to slow the muscle spasms I have in my back every day, and naproxen to help lessen the swelling I get from arthritis, degenerative disc disease and osteoporosis complications. And still I have pain. I go to the chiropractor every week. I've tried every experimental treatment possible trying to control my pain because my spinal surgeon cannot do disc replacement or spinal fusion. And through it all, I still remain a happy, positive person. And I've enough grasp of my mental faculties to spot a charlatan like you.

Nasty comments....like calling somebody a scumbag, a jerk, calling large groups of people on this forum, what was it..low lifes? Didn't you wish death on another forum member, too?

Funny that I've never said what could be construed as an unkind word to anybody else on this forum. Only you. I guess in your paranoia you guess I'm out to get you, right?

I miss the Expos.

the 'stache

Your story is so so sad...NOT!!! Wonder what God still has in stock for you...he seems to go after the bad people with all his might.

I set up a Ebay auction for future sale is that so hard to understand if ever I decide to go after PSA 9 Mantle cards it will already be ready to go...you know been proactive!!!

Post # 5

I'm so sorry that it doesn't measure up to your sad-sack story of cleaning up your dad's crap, and seeing your friends "die in the streets".

Oh, and now with the personal messages.

Yup, you're a really nice guy, Adrian.

the 'stache

You are right assholes like you do not deserve to be treated nicely!!! I do hope your serious illness does not come back that would be so so sad...one less asshole in the world!!!

Post # 5

Yawn. Try harder.

No need to try harder God will take you out!!! That is what I call true justice for assholes like you. You think all is OK now then bang another round of shit is in stock for you. He took your 401k what is next!!!
