I agree somewhat with what you're saying about contributing to the Board, especially if you've been in the hobby for awhile. I, myself, fall into the category of "newbie dumbass" and I depend on a lot of the more experienced collectors here for insight and advice. Even though I'm a lurker, I do appreciate all the knowledge and experience you guys pass around on here.

With that being said, I personally have nothing to contribute to this forum that would benefit the more experienced prewar collectors. If this were a forum about "how to divorce a crack head stripper"... then I would be the expert and I would have a lot more posts than what I do now. Until I have a few more years in the hobby, I'll stick to the old saying... "it's better to remain silent and let people believe your a dumbass than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"!!
