This is a forum to discuss Vintage Baseball Cards.

Individuals are posting legitimate questions and I am posting legitimate and honest responses. This answers come from a person who heads a company responsible for the sale of close to $50 million of sports collectibles annually, a great deal of which is comprised of vintage cards I believe I can add value to discussions. I have real life experience handling some of the best cards in the industry. In the last few years I have had the honor of wading through colletions built by hobby pioneers including but not limited to Richard Egan, Frank Nagy and Lionel Carter. Friends such as Leon, Brockelman, Brian Daniels, and many others know the passion I showed 20 years ago when I entered this hobby as a collector and how this has continued even to this day when as I have been able to turn my hobby and passion into my job.

My point....I don't appreciate cheap shots from the likes of Jeff Lichtman who never have anything positive to say.

Correct me if I am wrong folks but if my responding to legitimate questions allows people like this to make continual derogatory comments then I will gladly bow out.

Regards,
Doug
