No, I think folks are unhappy because you back out of multiple deals. The rest of the stuff is kind of amusing....and it's only 15 posts a day so how bad can that really be? But the reneging in auctions is a bad thing...regardless of the reasons (especially if it's more than an extraordinary instance)

Oh you'll be back....

Maybe so maybe not...

No I will not you guys have to many problems with me and I have had enough.

Just want to say to those who gave me a chance here and got to know me here and threw private messages...thanks it felt good while it lasted!!!

I will continue my hobby in private from now on!!!

good bye.

Can't we all just get along?

Maybe a little breather is what's in order here for you. I think you've burned yourself out after coming in guns blazing.

Personally I would have checked the dumpster first for day olds. A buck can buy a nice vintage Topps card.

Sorry about my last post. I responded to a funny comment without reading the last couple of pages. Didn't realize this thread had gone into the Adrian Zone.

My understanding, as it has been explained to me, is that this is what the cool collectors do anyway.... Keith and Charlie don't post here. Why should you?

I know I'm addicted when I go through and read the entire thread about how others are addicted... -_-

Dang! This whole thread turned into a Nantucket Sleigh Ride.:(

Wait a minute, Adrian bought a 52 Topps Mantle and backed out?? Where and When did that happen??????

I'm with you, Glenn. I was about to watch the latest episode of Castle. This seems more entertaining, however.

Geeeezzzz.....That's almost identical to the one I learned to drive in.

We also took a family camping trip across country in it in 78. I bought 78 O-peeChee in eastern Canada, and 77 OPC in the canadian portion of Glacier park. They'd just got them in!

You know you're addicted when...
 

...you complain to your 8-year old son about purchasing him a $15 Pokemon card, which he desperately wants because apparently it has special powers, and he says, "That's nothing, Dad. You have a cards that cost you $1,000!"

Game. Set. Match.

That is one of the best things I've read on this thread in a while

Addiction
 

You know you're addicted when you have more than half your cards shipped to work so the wife doesn't know about it ;)

...Or when your father-in-law opens up the guest room closet door and accuses you of being a "hoarder"...

Addicted
 

When I buy a card I already have, just because it was cheaper than what I paid last time...

(Hope the train wreck is over and this funny thread is back on track.)

Just because I selected a dentist named LaJoie, does that mean I am addicted.......true story

And he is related to Nap

My dentists' name is Dr. Wang. What does that say about me??:eek:

Haha.....is it Harry Wang DDS by any chance?? :p

Damn that's a pretty interesting note, how is he related? Did he ever tell you?

Dr. Tiffanie Wang DDS.:)

Ahhh.......it's a laaaady.....

He said he is a distant relative, but does have photo of Nap and Ruth. Not sure how related exactly

Uh oh. I got called out.

I know I am addicted because for the past 20+ years, the best/fastest way for me to fall asleep at night has been to think about vintage bb cards and remove all other thoughts from my mind! Interestingly, I don't recall ever having a dream about cards.

When you sell off stocks and invest in vintage cards, much better return on my investment!

and how does he pronounce IT ?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but the middle headstone put me in mind of Honus. It took me a minute to realize it was "Edythe" and not "Edy the". Needless to say it was a long day in the Hollywood Cemetery.<br><a href="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/zouraspm/media/zouraspm003/IMG_9612_zps5a215fc3.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/zouraspm/zouraspm003/IMG_9612_zps5a215fc3.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_9612_zps5a215fc3.jpg"/></a>

Sorry, brain f*€£

...when you play the lottery so you'll have 1 chance in 175 million to buy cards you wish to add to your collection.

When you see a card you need for a set, sub-set, or whatever, and you: PM the seller, email the seller, and then post in the thread, all within 2 minutes.

:D
