Dude, stop crying. When you were climbing through my window in order to boil my pet rabbit I googled "Paul Misfud" of "Paul Mifsud", whatever the hell your name is and some dead guy with the same name as you was the only thing that came up.

Perhaps you'd feel better if you went back into your T206 Collector Forum and played with all your imaginary friends who are just about to start posting. Sort of like an adult version of a little girl's tea party for her stuffed animals.

Paul you attacked Jeff to start this, not vice versa, unless I missed a post. You read an awful lot into a single "LOL" which I would guess did not upset Leon at all.

Jeff and I agree on almost everything concerning the hobby. Jeff is a bit more zealous than I am. We are good hobby friends. I don't think his comment was meant in a derogatory way towards me. I didn't take it that way either.

I also politely disagree with Heritage's stance on their own bidding. I do think they are a very honest and reputable company and have no issue consigning (when it makes sense since I run a small auction too) or bidding with them.

Tears of laughter, my dear friend. Why do you think I keep coming back for more? You entertain me.

If it makes you feel better to visit my website and Google my name, or my Dad, or a deceased relative, I'm all for it. A little "pot calling the kettle black" on the obsession angle, but it really doesn't bother me.

The simple fact is you're an arrogant fame whore, and I'm tired of seeing you talk about yourself and scoff at other people's opinions on every thread.

P.S. I admit that I "started it" on this thread. And I don't think Leon's feelings were bruised by Jeff's LOL.

And you're a jealous loser who tried to bet me $32. Here's you playing with your "T206 Collector Forum" with your many threads -- and zero posts and zero "registered users":

Re: Black Swamp auction
 

Heritage clearly did the right thing here. Just imagine if they had trickled them out and you're a well heeled and frequent bidder. You win the 27/30 lot for $1.2 mil. Then, month after month, auction after auction, high grade E98s appear with regularity. When you discover the truth about the find, how much business are you going to do with Heritage in the future?

An earlier post asked about the ethics of an attic find of multiple T206 Wagners. Of course the vast difference here is that the finder will probably have no ongoing presence in the hobby, and so the financial gain will trump the damage to his reputation.

It's true. You have the life I want to live.

This is a classic catch 32.

Please change your signature line to "arrogant fame whore" ASAP.

I've never seen this side of Paul before. A pair of New Yorkers battling it out.

I was trying to embed Jeff's South Park video to make it easier for everyone to find, but apparently embedding has been disabled. Oh well.

I figured since he posted the same clip twice, he meant to post this one:

Without house bidding, Heritage might br forced to create an intuitive website.

See, this is where virtual friendships get weird - I had you pictured as looking like Hal Chase. Now I know that if you visit Seattle, I have to wear sunglasses - you'll draw more attention than the Elvis impersonators.

I don't know how to do it either, or my computer won't allow it, but it's not been disabled.

Scott, now you know why I like freaks...

Sorry for the confusion -- Net54 embedded video works great. I think Viacom, or whoever holds the rights to that South Park video, blocked embedding the video in external websites.

I have never seen that movie, and after seeing that video I never will. That was demented.

For what it's worth, the guy in that corner has a cool web site that originally led me to (the old) Net54 forum, and the guy in that corner has a cool radio show.

Hey and that radio show is on live right now in NYC and on the net!

Just spoke about Paul in the last segment. Pretty funny stuff. I hope I pronounced his name right.

Tell Curtis I said "Hi." And that he convinced me that the Yankees were going to come back in the 1996 Series after they were down 2-0 to Atlanta. He predicted that they were going to go down to Atlanta and then take 4 straight... and he was right.

Um when I discussed you for 6 minutes on air he professed no knowledge of who you were.

Must have been a scintillating 6 minutes:

Jeff: "Now I want to talk about this guy on this website I frequent--

Curtis: "Sounds fascinating. Go on..."

Jeff: "Well, every time I act like an asshole he has the nerve to call me on it. I mean, why doesn't he just realize I'm the king of all media?

Curtis: "I know. And you get to talk with me on AM 970 every day for two hours. You're huge!"

Jeff: "I know. And I'll call him girl, and Sally, and $32... but he just keeps on writing about what a terrible person I am."

Curtis: "That's crazy. Wait.... does he know how important you are?"

Jeff: "I think so. He's seen my website, and it says that I'm brilliant."

Curtis: "You are. You are. So, what kinds of stuff does he say?"

Jeff: "He says that I'm an arrogant fame whore. Do you believe that?"

Curtis: "Jeff, in his defense -- I mean... you are."

Jeff: "But he says it in a sort of mean way. Like he doesn't really like me."

Curtis: "That's strange. I thought everyone liked you."

Jeff: "Me too."

Curtis: "But I guess this guy doesn't."

Jeff: "Guess not."

Curtis: "So what else you want to talk about?"

Jeff: "I don't know. I saw this fuzzy thing in the corner of my bedroom this morning."

Curtis: "Was it dust?"

Jeff: "Yes, Curtis, I believe it was."

Curtis: "We have a great radio show together. I hope it never ends."

Jeff: "Me neither. Let's hug -- but like real men."

[They Hug. Show ends for the day, but there'll be more fun tomorrow!]

Tune in tomorrow as we'll be discussing you again on air. Moral of the story: don't mess with someone who has a radio show with 50,000 listeners in the city in which you work.

PS: in case that isn't clear -- that's 50,000 more people than who have joined and posted in your "T206 Collector Forum."

That would be awesome! The more people that know the things you say the better. Do you want me to call in tomorrow?

Sure, call in! Though I'm still going to talk about you every single day!

I used your real name today and will again tomorrow -- not a problem, right?

Nah....skip it.

I wish to hell someone didn't have to bring up the 96 world series braves choke job! I still have nightmares over that! Who the hell was jim leyritz? I'm sure i spelled his name wrong......

Edit

No, not a prob.... Er... Wait a sec.... do you think I'm Batman?!

Good Lord, you really are as big a pr**k in real life as you play on this board, aren't you. Mr. T206 isn't far behind, btw, but it beggars belief, mine anyway, that you're a supposedly highly respected law man and yet you act like you're about eleven years old.

Maybe I shouldn't be so bold as to say anything; don't want mess with the biggest twat on the playground else you'll give me mine too, right.

Sometimes you have to take a few hits to expose a bully. My work here is done.

Well, my work isn't done yet. I didn't start this one but I'll surely finish it.

Well, have fun. If you need anything further from me, let me know. If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure you've already won.

Tune in tomorrow!

While I don't do it often I think this thread has run it's course. It's not fair to the family for, what was good discussion, to turn into a pissing match between some folks. At the end of the day the family is happy and got exactly what they wanted, transparency. The small windfall was fun too, I am sure :). It's great they have become closer from it and I am sure, if you asked them, that is what they would tell you. It's what they told me. best regards
