John SJoe,
I would have posted much sooner...but it is back to school for me and my time on the board becomes limited. I hope that you read through these posts and take some of the advice. For the last five years I have been a full-time collector, checking eBay and the board like a stock broker checks daily prices. Before that it was very sporadic, a few months on, a few months off based on various circumstances. I have been selling a lot recently both on the board and eBay. 90% of my transactions on this board have very positive but the cash that our little pieces of musty cardboard generate can attract the greedy element. An individual purchased a group of cards from me recently, negotiated heavily stating that these were pieces desperately needed for his personal collection. We came to an agreement and less than a week later the cards were being sold on eBay. At that point what am I to say, the cards are his, we agreed to a price, do what you want with them. I am sure that just about every board member can relate stories like this one. But as I said, for every transaction like this one I have had nine positive interactions.
And what about your vintage football pursuit? Our numbers are already very thin. Hope that you reconsider. Whatever you decide thanks for your contributions.
John
