Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Here we are looking through our cards on a Sunday afternoon and waiting for game 4 of the World Series to start. What's the best way of displaying your vintage sets? I always have problems with the graded cards because some of my cards are in PSA holders, some are in SGC holders, and some are ungraded in clear slabs.<br /><br />The red in the PSA holders clash with the green in the SGC holders which also clashes with my clear slabs. So what's the best way to display these sets?<br /><br />Peter C.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I have refrained from posting negative comments about peter's posts -<br />mainly because I respect and like the people who have met and who defend Peter.<br /><br />but I have to say, Peter's posts are becoming particularly bothersome.<br /><br />Yes there have been some people who have picked on Peter -<br />but there also have been many who have politely asked him to stop the nonsense.<br /><br />Yet, Peter continues. And I don't mean just this thread.... look at the other recent threads and take it all as a whole. "strength up the middle?" "slab mixing?" <br /><br />I take the continued posts of this nature as a sign of disregard and disrespect to those who politely spoke out about them.<br /><br />Many times I also doubt Peter's sincerity in threads he starts - as it seems he is looking to orchestrate a conversation and is not sincerely looking for answers (maybe I am wrong about that, but thats how I take it many times).<br /><br />Again, I look at this as a sign of disprespect to the people on this board.<br /><br /><br />Dan B... I very much wish there was an 'ignore thread' button - but there is not.<br /><br /><br />After too much nonsense though, the best way to ignore it is to not visit N54. <br /><br /><br />(edit to fix some grammar)

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I'm with Joe- "disregard" and "disrespect" are the operative words here. No amount of advice has convinced Peter to refrain from all of his unnecessary posting.

Do PSA Cards Mix Well With SGC Cards?
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>All I see is someone trying too hard to fit in here....some of his posts can be annoying, some are bizarre, and others are halfway on topic, but I'm telling you that if you ignore them you won't die and this forum won't go to hell...It's really easy to see when he's started a post. Don't click on it. He's not a troll (troll's fight back and they do not meet up with people in real life), I just think he doesn't know how to formulate a good question. He also apparently has a hard time keeping his post war/pre war questions in the correct forums, and Leon should just lock those as soon as he sees it happening....I guess if Peter can't abide by that then he should be banned. <br /><br />When Jim C and I had our difficulties in getting along on this board I stopped reading his posts and responding to them...it was easy. I'm glad to say that we now get along fine and have a mutual respect. Those who are making too much of Peter's posts IMO are inviting confrontation with Peter and seem a little annoyed that he won't fight back. I'm surprised at the amount of 'piling on' I see too from other posters....even mild mannered Barry Sloate has joined in the reindeer games and I guess that surprises me the most. Maybe I'm the one who is blind and Peter should just be banned, but after 10+ years on usenet forums Peter C is a mild annoyance at best.

Posted By: <b>Al Simeone</b><p>Dan ,<br />I really am not seeing it that way. Peter was asked many times in a very nice way to stop the as I put it (mind numbing dribble) many many times. We tried the nice way ,we tried in so many ways. NOPE none of it works. I stated in one of the posts "I truely believe he enjoys doing it this way" and I still do. As you are entitled to your opinion so are the others who post here. I myself feel sorry for the guy but if he wants to continue with these posts (and I see no sign of him letting up) Then there is going to be no sign of me letting up . Fact, I never have seen him show or scan an item in any post he has started. Always lets others do all the work. Fact, he seems to go into hiding until people like yourself take up his cause and start defending him. Then he comes out and starts "power to the establishment power to post anything any time" Go check that one out on the memorabilia board side. Another real deal post from Peter. And his posts check them out they go on and on for 60-90 posts and if you really check the "on subject" part of the post is very little. In real knowledgeable information I truely believe he knows very little. The posts just go on and on about how bad the poor guy really is. Yes sometimes its funny but most of the time its just foolish chat and that s the point. If this side of the board is going to return to talk about pre war cards with (some) off topic talk once in awhile then something has to change. I now believe Leon is starting to see the light on this issue with Peter. Its starting to get old. and something needs to be done.As was stated by others there are other "CHAT" boards that would serve Peter better but to continue to say just ignore the guy well Dan thats really not going to happen.

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>There is something disheartening about turning on Net54 after not paying attention for 2-3 days and see Peter's off-topic inane posts. I honestly think Peter thinks he gets credit from other posters for starting these posts which have little if anything to do with vintage cards. As another poster said, it makes you want to just turn off the computer.<br /><br />After a round of pretty severe criticism and Leon joining in he said he understood but here we go again with multiple threads started. Dan I agree that we had our differences and now things are fine--same thing with Jeff and Dan--but this is more than a mild annoyance to me. Maybe it shouldn't be...but it is.<br /><br />Peter, you are not adding any value to the board and its clear that you are infuriating a number of other posters whose opinions I care about. Please stop posting.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Dan- you are correct that I normally don't like to get confrontational in these kind of threads. So I guess I have to be pushed over the top to respond the way I did.<br /><br />It is the absurdity of this situation that has gotten me upset. If a hundred people, a thousand people, or a million people ask Peter to please refrain from posts that have nothing to do with vintage baseball cards, he will still come on the board the next day and say "okay guys, Bill Mazeroski was part of my favorite all-time double play combination, what is yours?" Nobody could be that impervious to all the feedback he has gotten on the board.<br /><br />Up until recently I pictured him as simply a good soul who just didn't get it. But now I think there is something pathological about his posts, and that he really should leave the board. Every time he starts a thread all hell breaks loose, and that is just too much of a distraction from what is really important around here.

Do PSA Cards Mix Well With SGC Cards?
 

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I really had high hopes after Peter said he was taking the feedback to heart and trying to improve. It even seemed like it got better for a few days.<br /><br />But his posts this weekend have been unfortunate. The one about clashing holders could at least be stretched to be OT, except for the short-leash situation that is unique to Peter. But the one about double-play combos? Not quite sure what the thinking was behind that one. It seems like the weekends are his downfall.<br /><br />I've actually considered something, and I'm not kidding here. Barry has long said that this board would be good material for a college psych project. I've said the same thing, except that I've always seen it as a sociology project - how people form societies, organize and maintain themselves.<br /><br />It as actually occurred to me that this might be exactly that. Someone's senior paper or thesis or whatever in which he keeps poking at the society, testing norms, breaking them in different ways, backing off for a bit, coming back, being of good cheer the whole time, etc, and then observing and writing about the group responses, individual responses, who emerges as the opinion leaders, who emerges as the supportive group, who has actual disciplinary authority, and how all of these interract to resolve the situation.<br /><br />It's really pretty fascinating when you look at it that way. Do I really think Peter is a made-up person and this is someone's Sociology project? Nah - obviously a low probability. Plus people have met him and he really is a collector. But if they hadn't ... well I would at least be considering it.<br /><br />But it's one of those hypotheses that, while not likely true, does suddenly explain all facts and events, and makes everything fit together and understandable. At minimum, it show how bizarre this is that such a thing would even be a possibility. <br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>OK, I read this forum almost every day. I rarely respond. I finally have to say something regarding your rude responses to Peter C. If you are under 13, this response is not for you. I understand that you are still a teenager and haven't grown up enough to learn how to treat people. If you are over 13 and responding with these ridiculous sarcastic responses, GROW UP!! Is it that difficult to move on to the next topic? Just because you are not interested in his topic means everyone else isn't either? <br /><br />When you get a chance, check out how many threads are not related to this forum. For some reason if they are from someone other than Peter, they're accepted. <br /><br />FYI. I am interested in his topic. Just yesterday AM I was looking into some of my display cases and thought of regrading some cards because of how they looked next to each other. <br /><br />Check out the one PSA card in this case:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/danp306/SportsMemorabilia051-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I'm also not crazy about this case with the mix of GAI, PSA and SGC:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/danp306/SportsMemorabilia017-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />This one looks much nicer with all PSA:<br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u265/danp306/SportsMemorabilia006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Dan

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>Dan, although in general I prefer a black background to white, I think a mix of PSA and SGC would meld better with a off darktone-white background, or maybe even a neutral mid-gray tone, if you could stand such a thing. On the mixed-holdered display, since black is the main color of the SGCs (and the background,it makes the PSAs seem obtrusive. Maybe mock it up first with cheap color paper. You could line the smaller white built-in to try it first. Just my opinion. At any rate, great cards, great display.<br /><br />*edited to say: WOW, that's alotta Yaz!<br />*edited again til I got it right.

Posted By: <b>Ken W.</b><p>I bet Dan is happy this morning.<br />BTW, I think the display with the different grading companies looks just fine against the black background. Nice room!

Posted By: <b>Corey R. Shanus</b><p>Really nice displays!<br /><br />I notice that you have a black and white image of Boston-Providence posing at Messer Park in Providence in 1879. From the scan the image quality looks very good. Can you shed any light on how that image was taken? The reason I ask is that some years ago the original glass negative of that photo was sold at auction and it always intrigued me whether prints would subsequently be generated from that negative.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>Beautiful display, Dan. The mix of holders looks fine in the second photo, but when all but one of the OJs are grade by SGC, you might consider crossing the remaining PSA card.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>Hi Dan. Nice post, collection and display.<br /><br />Have you considered displaying the cards raw? I've always preferred them that way myself.<br /><br />Howard<br /><br />BTW...are the '60 & '61 Yaz's out getting graded?

Posted By: <b>Michael Flaherty</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />That is a very impressive Yastrzemski collection you have displayed.<br /><br />If you ever get the chance, could you e-mail me a scan of the 1965 Embossed PSA 8 you have? It's one of the toughest cards to find in nice condition from that set. <br /><br />Thanks for the pics!

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Dan, that's a great looking display. If I may ask what is the method to your collecting on your prewar display? Just cards you like? or is there a pattern I'm no seeing?

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>Dan, thanks for sharing the wall displays - I love seeing everyone's items displayed. gives me ideas, etc...plus it's a neat way to share the collections. I'm with you regarding mixing the raw, and various slabs. I find uniformity much more appealing, whenever it can be achieved. It's just a personality thing.<br /><br />Everyone,<br />On the greater topic of Peter C (Hi Peter), I think this topic is fairly well-related to our hobby. If it gets people to post pics of their stuff, I'm all for it!!!!<br /><br />His other posts seem to have won him a little bit of a shorter leash as Leon has stated earlier, but don't forget that communities, Board such as this one, etc. thrive on characters. Peter C has established himself as a character (either real or imagined doesn't matter). His posts can be silly, OT, or otherwise annoying to some or many, but at the very least he does start conversation. The bully behavior is disappointing to see, but I suspect that it may even in part encourage some of Peter's posts.<br />His posts are like a car crash. They cause many to slow down as they pass by, but sooner or later everyone gets their look and decides to get on with their day...<br /><br />What's my point....eh....relax

Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>Peter has been given a very long leash on this board for a very long time. He has brought criticism on himself. The majority of his threads have been inane from the start and they seem to be nothing more than attention-seeking in nature. He says he's a lawyer but that's a scary thought based on his poor command of the english language and lack of ability to stay focused on the purpose of this forum. He often refers to his collection but we have seen no evidence of a collection. Personally, I wouldn't care if he has a collection or not but he says he does and he often asks to see pictures from others so it would be nice if he would contribute to the sharing. I know I don't have to read his threads but I can't help looking because I'm curious to see if others are feeling the same way I am about the quality of his contributions here. Over the last few weeks it's become clear that most of us have lost patience with him but, believe me, he has been given more than a fair opportunity to fit in.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />Thanks for actually responding to my post. There were about two others that responded. This thread should have gone 3 posts and died. The rest of you guys just rehashed old news. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Peter C.
