A little bit o knowledge
 

Based on my collecting days back in the day

And a little bit of understanding of certain aspects of this market; based on my long-term at Beckett in addition to an interest in research

This is what David brings to the board-A Titus with a Carolina Brights back directly from the Wonka collection-if that makes sense...:eek:

I have brought almost nothing, but I have learned an unmeasurable amount from this board.

3 years ago I purchased a t206 on ebay. Actually this one.

It could have been that I was growing up, or getting engaged, but I had to find something that didn't involve going to the bar with my friends.

Now I am 68 deep into the monster, started a type collection, still go to the bar with my friends (occasionally), and just interviewed a wonderful man who explained the origin of Tommy Bridges' curve ball.

And yeah, my wife took the effort to make sure I won the Bridges Wheaties Cutout on ebay today. Thanks for everything 54.

I've been collecting David McDonald cards with as many tough backs as possible:

Be well Brian

PS Only the American Beauty of David has a crease....

PS 2 Hi John, I could use that Carolina Brights for my collection... trade you a Murphy/Batting for it...

What do I bring?
 

Some knowledge of caramel cards and my two passions, the T207 and M116 sets. I've learned a great deal from my years on this board, everything from spotting altered and fake cards to education on sets I knew very little about previously like the pre-1900 cards.
I like to think that I also bring friendship and have greatly appreciated all the many collectors I have known, both those I met in person and those I know only from cyberspace but have formed friendships with. I also have learned to appreciate constructive criticism and on the flip side, have learned to tune out the smart-asses who are few in number. :rolleyes:

To the table I bring....place settings. And witty repartee....plus a healthy dose of annoyance. My dream is to some day contribute half the amount that I get from these boards...

nuffin...

but I do read all the posts... for better or worse! :eek:

Nahhh can't do it McDonald was a way better player..I think he might make the HOF this year. :)

I guess I bring a desire for knowledge, especially about T206, ATC and ALC. Also a penchant for Topps oddball stuff on the other side and a whole bunch of research material, which I'm always happy to dig into if someone has a request.

I try not to bring a negative attitude and stay out of trainwreck threads since I have enough stress at work. I consider the hobby just that, a hobby and try to keep it fun.

To be honest with you, I don't bring a hell of a lot to the board. But, sometimes you just gotta say WTF. :D

Titus T206 card
 

Did u know that is the only T206 card that a player has a mustache....that's all I got.

I guess I bring knowledge of wrappers, but no one ever seems to ask about them.
Since joining the Board, your passion for caramel cards has led me to begin collecting them in earnest. Your knowledge of other vintage cards has started me on the journey into collecting other sets, like the M101-2, and variations in sets like R315, R314, etc. In other words, you guys have cost me a lot of money!
The BST has been outstanding and have done several deals there. More to come I hope. Also hope the knowledge shared and humor continue. My only regret is that I did not know about this Board earlier.

Jeff, even though I don't collect wrappers I found your article on them in Old Cardboard fascinating. I've only had a few...the common Gehrig Goudey and some 60's Topps.

Well,
I'd like to think I bring enthusiasm and fun. I have some knowledge, which I share when I can.
I love the spirit of camaraderie here. Even with the jousting and occasional thin skinnedness of some, the amount of information provided, without any strings, vastly outweighs any negatives.
I thank you all for the way you have all shared with me.

I think David's card is sooo cool. Does anyone have an autographed copy?
Perhaps we should create a Net54 member card set. Acc designation I-N54(internet-net54).

Now that I think about it, the best that I've been able to bring to this board, is my dear friend...Graig Kreindler!
