Scott MTheres nothing wrong with having a little fun in this hobby.
I certainly was trying to have a little fun with my "guess" that Mr. X was Bill Maher based on another thread regarding his comments on the "manliness" of adult baseball card collectors.
If TJ and Mr. X wanted to have a little fun and PSA now allows "vanity slabs" then no harm no foul in my eyes.
It wouldn't deter me from buying any Mr.X cards but I do agree with Barry and others who have tried to make the point that the monicker doesn't add any value.
Yes, its generated plenty of conversation on this board but I can't imagine anyone saying "Oh boy, I have to get one of those cards owned by Mr. X!"
As far as the "attacks" on TJ. I honestly think this thread has been pretty civil. I think that if it got too personal Leon then would be stepping in.
Yes, there have been some comments about TJs ebay feedback and how it remains 100% but they were basically in response to TJs post where he felt the need to respond to valid comments regarding the Mr. X label by listing his "credentials".
I don't have a problem with what TJ did but I also don't feel that this thread has been that hard on him. I think there have been some pretty valid opinions expressed, thats all.
Just sharing mine...
