Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>LOL....macboube i just like action what can i say. In regards to cornering the market on silver nobody is implying that. Silver is a safe investment especially during times like this and believe me things are going to get alot worse so metals will rise against the strength of the dollar. <br><br>I bought silver at 9.80 and today we are at 13.42 so i like my chances. My thought is silver will be at 20.00 a ounce by this Christmas.

Posted By: <b>John</b><p>"Wonka was calling me newbie"<br><br>Let's keep the facts straight Wonka was calling you a braggart, instigator, attention seeker and at best a story teller. All of which wraps himself in a cloak of buzz words and dated extreme lifestyle expressions. Oh and with a just a touch of vulgar sprinkled on top.<br><br>Just to be clear I don't doubt you have cards Marshall or the fact that you collect...I just doubt your spin on what you own. <br><br>Marshall if you had a 10k card you would post and tell everyone it was million dollar card, and then you would proceed to tell everyone once again how cool you are. Also god forbid anyone correct you or disagrees then it becomes the Marshall show.<br><br>I kind of like you though Marshall you make me laugh. You're the walking definition of irony love to tell everyone else their dorks while fighting on a board for baseball cards in cyberspace and telling evryone what a rock star you are. Funny when you think about it sort of like a guy walking out of a Star Trek convention dressed as Spock making fun of folks in line for the Star Wars convention.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Wonka...you do crack me up bro and i'm just waiting for you to raise the spaceship out of the muck oh Yoda wannabe. In regards to cards that i own let's just say that i am a result player and i'm very happy for what my cards sold for recently. You see my friend i am not in the hope business or tell stories as you have stated. I have never touted a card on Network 54 and made esculated claims about them. I just stated that i had some of the finest condition Southern Leaguer's in the hobby after you and other folks acted like i had nothing. Ahhhh by the way if you check the PSA pop report There was only 1 example graded higher than my Ted Breitenstein PSA 7 and the J.F. Kiernan PSA 7 old Mill is the finest example ever to be found hmmmmm. I'll stop there but there were several other cards that were extremely rare also.<br> <br>I'm to sharp of a cat to be skinned by a kitten so i'll let you and JimVB say whatever you like about who i am and what i own because it means nothing to me. There will be a day when i send more cards to auction after i grade them and i'll let you know how they do, i'm sure then you guys will say oh well you were lucky or that you cannot possibly have anymore cards and so on and so on.<br><br>I recently have sold some of the finest examples ever found of American Beauties but oh that is right again just luck or hearsay blah blah blah. If anyone lives in outer space Wonka or make believe land perhaps look into the mirror. Why else does one call themselves Wonka?

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>I do not have to drag in grandad memories or girlfriends thoughts when it comes to dealing with people. What i do understand is that for some reason people think their opinion is important or should be heard in regards to the last few posts. Also wonka please know that you put up those Indian card links and one of those cards closed at nearly 3800 at auction which was far from your 500 to 750 estimate. I do currently own 11 of them and there are two that are very rare and one could possibly be the only one that survived. Also the Deadwood photo i posted which is the only one known from that era to survive. <br><br>I would never compare myself to Crandall or anyone else in regards to collecting because it is not who i am. I'm not into who has the most or has the biggest banana hammock because i have had no complaints from the ladies nor will i ever (-:<br><br>Last week i was at the track looking at my little filly who has got major scat ability, she strikes the track perfect. My partner and i sent in 6 names and the name the Jock's club chose was Unbridled's Skyhawk because the filly is out of Unbridled's Song uhhhhhhh sound familiar? Eight Belles and this year's monster 3-year old Derby favorite Old Fashioned are out of Unbridled's Song, now the girl who grooms the horse starts explaining that the name is not right, she goes on and on about how i was wrong, kind of like this board does about what we should have called her, after about 10 minutes of listening to her gas i said well really doll i wanted to name the horse Get The Salami Tommy and my friend just lost it, well the girl got pissed and instantly i was th ebad guy. Now most folks will say well you should not have said that or you are not diplomatic or i guess we can throw tact right out the window.The moral of the story is when folks start talking sh*&t i just give it back and if that makes me a bad guy then i am a real bad M^%tha F*&ker case closed.<br><br>In regards to J Levine i notice once all my fans start riding me on here that you will not be far behind.

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>What's ironic is that it sounds like Marshall is making fun of "old baseball players who walked a straight line and hit .238 for three seasons" and it sounds like he may be making fun of us for caring about them. Then we find out his his only claim to fame here on this board (meaning the only pre-war baseball cards he has admitted to ever having owned) was selling a bunch of semi-no-name Southern League cards (regardless of their technical grades).<br><br>Marshall, don't get me wrong, I love the no-name guys, they are what keep the hobby interesting for many of us. Many have been around long enough to have heard most/all the Ruth, Cobb, Joe Jackson, etc. stories and what excites us is discovering info on new players, players that were integral in the development of baseball, but have been largely forgotten through the years. You will find the vast majority of the people here are simply history buffs that also happen to be baseball card collectors.<br><br>-Rhett <br>

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Dan & Rhett....i was not making fun of you guys for having a passion for rare old cards or common cards. My point was let's mix it up and if people want to be sarcastic then who cares, it would be awful boring just reading post after post about rare meaningless players. I enjoy reading about the rare common cards as well as off topic conversations and hall of famers. My personal opinion and choice of cards that i go after are only 4 players, while i buy and sell cards the only cards i keep are of these players. Yes i understand the cards that got sent to auction that graded the highest were Southern Leaguers but the Cobb 4.5, Two Johnson's 5, three Mathewsons and so on did great also. I kept the best conditioned Cobbs and Chase cards because of who were they were and why the fans watched them.

Milehigh Auction
Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I understand perfectly Marshall. This board would be boring if it were all Cobb, Johnson, Matty and Jackson all the time. It would also be boring if it were all about the common guys who never made it big. The mix is what keeps it interesting.

Milehigh Auction
Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>What makes the board interesting is the diverse group of collectors and opinions. I would not even come on here if it were strict rules and single mindedness. What makes a baseball game great is the hottie three seats over, the manager spitting and kicking dust, the home run hit by the star player, the guy with two hot dogs wearing no underwear with pants falling down so his ass crack is hanging out when he stands up and shouts "hey ump you suck you freaking blind SOB", the no name player who wins the game in the ninth with a sacrifice bunt and so on. What i enjoy is the whole package and letting people be themselves.<br><br><br><br>

You sound like some F&^%ing cheesy CNN reporter who has his banana hammock stretched up his..... I do not define making it by signing a major record deal so at the end of the day when a cd sells for 15 dollars after it is all said and done you make about 75 cents a cd because you have 4 different attorneys watching 2 different managers who are watching 2 different accounts who are sueing the record company because it's all bull****.<br><br>Allan Jacoby had RCA records fly in and the A&R rep offered me a huge deal.......oh my.....could it be he said i was a superstar......Jeezzzzzz heavens no.....did he compare me to Iggy Pop because i tore up rooms and created total chaos.......ohhhhh no did he come to one of the shows and watch kids just go berzerk for a hour and tell me please come to Las Angeles and show the world my talent.<br><br>You see JLevine i did make it....i just did not sign a major record deal becaus emoney is not what i seek......money does not control my life and i do not need people bowing down to me because i play rock-n-roll.
