Frank WakefieldJim, I appologize to you if you took anything I said as a personal attack.
So how do I shout down that statement about "backbone of the hobby" and the one about hobby and investment... Can't use words like foolish or worse...
If you want an investment, go check out some of the Franklin Funds. Or spend money on a child's education. For us, this is a hobby. And I am confident that PSA 8s aren't the backbone.
Taking a thought from another thread, I took my Standard Catalog with me a few minutes ago, and looked at the Acknowledgments page. Lots of names there. Lots of folks here. I don't know all of the folks here. Brockleman, Goodman, Luckey, Macrae, Sloate, me, Warshaw, Zanidakis are listed. And a few other folks I've met who I don't see posting here, Ewing, Goodwin, Koehler, Lipset... I really don't think any of those guys focus on PSA -8s. And I do think those guys are some of the hobby's vertebrae. Alan Rosen is in the Acknowledgments, he might collect PSA 8 stuff, I just don't know. Always turned and walked the other way when I saw him at shows.
What I would really like to know is if T Bob is glad that he soaked his Zeenut. Bob, if you're still out there, how do you feel about it now? Was it ok?? Not the madness of this thread, but the unaltering of that altered Zeenut you bought... how was that.
Peace, Jim. And sincerely, I intended nothing personal. It is/was all focused at that idea.
