A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>It seems that I continue to make them, but so far none have really been killers. I buy too high, I sell too low, I get the short end of trades, I buy what I don't need and I don't buy what I do want.<br /><br />I dunno.<br /><br />Buying too high isn't too bad, because I definately get what I want.<br /><br />Selling too low is also not too bad, because I do get rid of what I don't want.<br /><br />The same with getting the short end of a trade, because the bottom line is that you exchanged things of sort of no value for things which you wanted.<br /><br />Buying what you don't need is a problem for me, because although I do enjoy my impulse purchases, they do not fit my collecting goals. So they sit with my other miscellaneous cards which really are trade bait or for sale. Why do this?<br /><br />And worse is not buying what I want. It happened again this month. I thought the card cost too much, so I turned it down - then buy the time I realized that although it was higher than I had budgeted for the card, it was singularly gloriously right, right, right! But when I went back for it, I found it was gone, gone, gone!<br /><br />This is the mistake I hate most. I do it over and over. Sometimes the card isn't good enuff (but it is); other times it is too good (but it ain't).<br /><br />What type of mistakes do you hate most?

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Every vintage card I've ever sold in my nearly 25 years in the hobby has tripled, quadrupled, and then some, so I guess I regret every sale I ever made. Of course I say this tongue in cheek, but since my business is selling cards I never put any of them away. I guess I should have. As Bob Dylan said, "Don't Look Back." (did he actually say that?)

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>Did he actually mean it?

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I don't know if he meant it, but Monday and Tuesday night Martin Scorcese's "No Direction Home" will be on PBS and I will be doing four hours of looking back. Must see TV.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>DJ</b><p>Saw the Bob Dylan documentary last week. Nothing like Joan Baez doing her best impersonation of the "man" and was very surprised that he sat down to talk to Scorcese. I thought it was more of a look at the History of Folk Music through Dylan's many influences. Still recommend it if you are a Dylan fan. I also highly recommend "Bob Dylan: World Tour 1966: The Home Movies". It was shot by his former drummer Mickey Jones. Met Mickey a few years ago and we chatted about his days with Dylan. <br /><br />Oh, my mistake always surrounds a purchase, say a PSA5 caliber card and that same card comes up for auction like a month later and I would prefer that one for some reason. Cleaner card. Better clarity. Better centering. <br /><br />DJ<br /><br />

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>He let Ed Bradley interview him on 60 Minutes. I think he's softening in his middle age.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>DJ</b><p>I saw the interview. Notice how he did the interview the same week his book came out? Not exactly a person who treasures friendships. I asked his drummer if Bob was the type of person you could stop by and have a cold one with you were in town. Mickey drummed for him for like a dozen years and said he wouldn't be welcome. I saw him three times in concert this year and even left one of the concerts a song early to meet him. He walked right by. I wasn't even there.<br /><br />DJ

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barry arnold</b><p>believe it or not, i gave a talk to a room full of physicians<br />on Saturday on Medical Ethics and quoted from Dylan's Positively<br />Fourth Street!<br />They loved that much more than any of my Aristotle or Kant stuff!<br /><br />a big Dylan fan,<br /><br />Barry Arnold<br />

A mistake, again!

Posted By: <b>RC Mckenzie</b><p>'Don't think twice it's alright'<br />I'm glad this is not my only hobby otherwise I couldn't afford this one.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Just finished reading his biography "Behind the Shades- Revisited." Transcendent artist, but doesn't sound like a guy you would feel comfortable hanging out with. Only saw him once, at Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. He walked on the stage unannounced so it was pretty exciting.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>I guess for this thread, my question was off topic, sorry.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Don't you hate it when you start a thread only to find out that you are the one off topic? <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> Can't really chime in on either topic as I hate Dylan and haven't given Gil's orignal question much thought. New if we were talking old school punk like the Velvet Underground or New York Dolls, then I might chime in.<br /><br />Jay<br /><br /><br><br>My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>I think that it is hilarious!

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Barry Sloate<br /><br />Paige....before Dylan...is quoted as saying...."Don't look back,<br />someone might be gaining on you".<br /><br />Anyhow, as you know Barry, I am a "hoarder" and a procratinator<br />and this has paid off over the long run. Because, I did hold my<br />collection for a longer period than most; and, then started to<br />sell it.

A mistake, again!
 

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Ted- I know Paige said that too, but that's also the title of the 1967 Dylan documentary. And as far as going off topic- I was the first to answer Gil's question, so didn't feel bad about straying after that.
