Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>but I'll buy UJ HOFers all day at $200 in that grade if you have any for sale. Not to be argumentative, but last I looked there are no UJ sets on the PSA registry, and only one on SGC (and he didn't win this). I paid more than $400 for this very Lindstrom card in SGC 40 a couple of years ago.

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>ok, I admit it, I just hate registry folks and I was prejudice. I apologize. But I am 3 away from this set and am getting really pissed that I can't collect any more because of this grading bull ****! I obviously need to sell and move on. Or burn everything and film it.

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Steve - can't you read? The idiots pay $1500 for a $200 card - he didn't want to be an idiot, so he only bid $1498.

This must be a REGISTRY IDIOT
Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I posted this when it was at $1500. I was early on my blasting as usual. Probably just a true set collector that needed it to finish the set like Steve here. I am 3 away and Steve and the winner are probably just 1 away from completing this set.

This must be a REGISTRY IDIOT
Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I agree Steve, I am a very spoiled school child who has been collecting 38 years and used to get whatever he wanted up until about 7 years ago. I can't argue with you about that. But I do appreciate having this forum to come and cry to because it makes me feel better. I appreciate you listening and feeling my pain too. thanks. Looking at the winner I would have to say that he is a coin collector that was helping a friend run up his auctions. Or quite possibly a coin collector that only collects UJ's? And yes, you are absolutely correct, he may be more passionate about collecting these than I am, I do not know him. Dan.

You don't know me personally, but you do business with my company, and I'm shocked the way you're reacting to a loss (over a baseball card). Maybe you're a bit intoxicated, if you're not though, then wow. How can you judge who is a TRUE hobbyist and who isn't?

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>James you have a company? That is great, congratulations. You were the one that made the remark about me selling the card at my table for $500 and I answered. I didn't call you a chump directly but you obviously felt it was poked at you. If the shoe fits? I just came on here to bark for awhile so please forgive me. Everyone here has a lot to offer the collecting community and I just feel left out as I just do not have anything to offer so I have to bark a bit. Intoxicated? Is my grammar ok and my spelling??

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Dan,<br />Why, after you realized that this had nothing to do with either the PSA or SGC registries, did you continue to blame it on registries and graded cards and those brainless people with endless money who participate in them and are destroying the hobby. It seems that the only logical deduction is that there were several other collectors with interests and motivations like yours. So you got outbid on a card. It happens to me all the time. Having been in the hobby a long time (I went to my first card show in 1979) does not entitle me to anything. And I certainly don't berate a pseudo-class of collectors when it happens. I don't mean to pick you out, but I get tired of all the negativity and name-calling around here. That is what will destroy the hobby.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>Jim, I went through the post quickly this morning but I don't see where I continued referencing a registry person after Scott told me there wasn't one. Registry was probably the wrong word but a person who would pay much more for a slabbed card I guess. You are correct though, no negative vibes are good and I just needed to vent. As you stated, I lose many auctions myself. This one just set me off as I am so close to the set and I am a set collector. I can assure you that I won't destroy the hobby but that the hobby will destroy me. Even if you just started collecting yesterday your collecting habits are your choice and I really shouldn't criticize anyone's just because they are different from mine. I meet tons of nice new young collectors at my table each show and as I do not agree with the grading part, each new collector is different in their own way. And I must state that the last 3 years have provided the NICEST people I have met in a long time! So thanks again for letting me unload here last night and a little this morning and please remember that I ain't all bad. Well maybe I am. For the record, this was the 2nd time I lost this darn card. Kevin Savage auctioned one that I got squashed on about a year ago and that also fueled the fire a bit. And Jim, I don't take your poke at me personally, I do here what you are saying and it is very logical. Take care my friend, I am off to a golf trip. God am I bad at golf! Dan.
