John, I very much appreciate your kind words.
Do not worry about this - you illustrated very nicely just how many passionate T206 collectors are interacting with one another on this board, and how different our collecting habits are. My expertise is very limited compared to Tim, Art, Brian, John, Ted, Jim, yourself, Barry, and almost everyone else you mentioned, but thanks anyway.
When I rejoined the collecting world, I swore I would not get involved in this stuff, but I felt the need to support Frank, as the words he was saying were clear, true, and many people who I have never even heard of were jumping his butt like hyenas on a wounded zebra. This kind of made me sick. If that crap had not been posted here, I would never have said a word about Tim's less-than-admirable information-usurpation habit.
The newbies jumping to suckle on the T206Resource sow was not a surprise, but I seriously hope that those who have been attacking Frank, etc., end up with hind tit.
I am not privvy to the John (Wonka)/Frank feud, but I like both of them and I hope it gets resolved.
No, John - it was not a misunderstanding. This was a well-executed information coup. But you know what? It's just cardboard. Really old, cool cardboard, but no babies are dying.
