Joe P.This thread is a good one, and I nominate Barry Sloate for the first Congressional Medal of Frustration.
Before I go any further I must say, that I only have the highest respect for Ted Z.
When it comes to the 1948 Bowman fooball set, he's da man, he was my Guru, he wrote the book.
He stated numbers, and the numbers were factual.
Reading his take on the 1948 Bowman FB set, was like walking and talking with God.
Anyone that thinks that I'm elaborating, or exaggerating, really doesn't understand what I'm going through.
You think it's easy?
You think I can just shrug this off just like that?
This is a tough ordeal.
From the Bowman Mt Olympus, to the world of T206.
From facts to ... conjecture, assumptions, suppositions, and speculations. ..... not a shred of any kind of facts.
The God that failed.
I can see Barry's face turning blue with frustration.
He pleaded and begged to be listened to, but to no avail.
Actually, he shouldn't feel like a failure, because many others tried to explain and reason with the Bowman Olympian.
Ted is still my hero when it comes to the 1948 Bowman FB set, but Barry gets my vote for the first Congressional Medal of Frustration.
