Leon you should consider lifting the ban on him just for the attention it brings to the site, you could probably charge more for advertising solely because of him. Kinda like how new number one draft picks often result in an immediate increase in ticket sales.

I like chaos as much as the next guy but the safety of our community comes first. However, the DCHOF sounds pretty cool. :)

Will we need a curator or law enforcement?

I'm also voting for ALL of the Bruce Dorskinds for the DCHOF, posthumously. He/they may take a couple of years to get in, but if his/their full resume of Net54 material gets presented, he'll/they'll get in.

Ahh, yes, the Bruces Dorskii. Much like Cobb, they'd have been running five minutes late en route to the charter member group photo shoot.

Some guys gives a back story (which I never care about, like when old not graded Mantles are found in somebodies attic or storage locker and only sold as a reprint cause haven't got them graded)

some guy wants every card of a one player in a topps set
some guy says he will over pay for cards.....
some guy does overpay for some cards....how many who knows.
some guy questions that he will never accomplish his goal and he isn't for real
some guy isn't for real
some guy is banned
some guy has very questionable history when googled.
some guy has secret accounts

What he said! Seriously, the best I can do is this- grab some popcorn and your favorite beverage and sit in you canoe and enjoy from start to finish. Pure excellence and irrelevance at the same time. Worth the time!

Speaking of T206 Wagners…did Jason Mars ever make it here to this site?

The nun Wagner story reminds me a lot of Mars, not so much that Andrew reacted like Mars (that reaction made it that much more comical), but that neither provided the necessary proof everyone wanted and would be easy enough to provide.

See, this is a perfect example of why I love Net 54. Oh, sure, there's the wonderful baseball card talk, the eye candy, the occasional bat sh#t crazy person that wanders in.........................

This thread is turning into an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And, I love it.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Peter Chao. There were some interesting threads until he got banned by Leon. In an attempt to create a safe transparent environment for the BST - I think it was his suggestion that all BST transactions go through Leon for payment & shipping that got him banned...... Right Leon? :)

I am not sure about that but can't imagine it. I don't want almost anything coming through me (the board) except for the few ads and things like that. What people do on here, in a professional manner, is their own business. Leave me out of it, please. :)

It is a little disappointing he was getting the autograph on a $500 bill rather than a Bartirome card

Until I had read that article, I never knew there was such a thing as a $500 bill. For that reason alone, I like that it wasn't a '52 Bartirome that was getting autographed!

autograf 12-08-2016 02:55 PM

$1000 and $10000 as well.........$500 and $1000 most common in circulation at one time. You can buy em all day on ebay........they aint cheap.

Sean 12-08-2016 05:21 PM

So who is on a $500?

I believe William McKinley was the last person on one but there has been several.

JustinD 12-08-2016 07:16 PM

I remember Benny Binion having one million in 10,000 dollar bills on display at the Horseshoe in Vegas.

Its also not as well know as it was not used commonly, but there was also a 100,000.00 bill issued with Woodrow Wilson on it.

Some registers say they dont have change for $100.00. But the registers that dont say they have any limits of change, i wonder if they take $100,000 and give you change when you buy some gum.

ctownboy 12-08-2016 08:09 PM

Some thoughts:

1) It is too bad he defaced a $500 bill by having Trump autograph it.

2) Seeing his past, I wonder where he got the funds to acquire a $500 bill.

3) Considering he is related to Maria Bartiromo, I wonder if she (or Fox News) broadcast anything about this guy or the incident. If they did, did they bring up his past?

4) $100,000 dollar bills were only circulated within the different Federal Reserve banks.

Another one of his lies, she has denied being related to him or his father.

When someone asks me, I ALWAYS have change for a $100 bill! Oh, you meant exact change? *walking away whistling*

Have they announced the dates for the N54 DCHOF? I want to make my hotel reservations early. Nothing like sitting on the porch of the host hotel watching the sun go down on a Summers Eve...

Has Danali replaced McKinley on the $500 bill ?

After taking the time to re-read this entire thread, I wanna be sedated.

What....just happened here? Part of me (begrudgingly) wants to see what Adrian would do, too, were he reinstated. Has he learned from the error of his ways? Part of me also thinks that he's the one thing in all the universe that could escape a black hole, too, but I digress. Call Stephen Hawking, and let's see if Adrian could exploit the event horizon to emerge safely on the other side.

While I can appreciate what you're doing for the family, that's cool. But there's guy's like me who have made it such a long way in collecting this set. Given the many you have along with the few who actually finish it, would you ever consider selling a PSA 5 or 6? Strictly for the true collector Registered on PSA with the set ... I have the Mantle in a PSA 5, Jackie a 6, Reese a 6, some high numbers are 7's. Collector to collector ... in honor of him ... I'll write a small biography about him ... anything for one single card. And it'll be just another story I can tell my son one day when he gets the set. PLEASE!!!

And he's probably in jail for one of the many scams he was involved in.

jason.1969 04-13-2017 07:44 AM

And he's not even family. 100% scam.

Saw this the other day and thought of this thread...did anyone know that Bartirome later became the athletic trainer for the Columbus Jets. Here he is in a team photo (middle row on the right w/out uniform)...he sorta looks like the team janitor in this pic (no offense to Bartirome or his REAL family).

Anyway to make that larger or can you post the link?

If not, can you or someone, in a nutshell, explain to me what it reads?

Thanks :)

Cole Bartiromo tried to lowball someone selling a pair of 1952 Topps #311; the seller didn't budge.
