With 2016 looming, I figured it's time to state what resolutions you think this site should incorporate to make the New Year much better. I'll start with a few, but feel free to throw in your ideas as well. I know it may sound angry (ha ha), but please take it in good fun...
1. For the love of God, on the post-war side STOP making every single post, every single thread, every single comment about Mickey freakin' Mantle, for cripes sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You might have noticed that there have actually been other people who played major league baseball since 1945. And when you do mention the Mick, at least be honest about it. His cards are the most valuable around. That's it. That's the reason you collect him, right??!! How many of you (I know, I know. This is where a couple of people will chime in to say that they are actually big fans of him, but save it!!) would give one crap about Mickey Mantle if his cards weren't such profit generators????? 2. Stop using the word "iconic" to describe cards. It's usually the very same people describing said Mickey Mantle cards who automatically throw this ridiculously overused word into the mix, I guess to show us how smart they are?? I dunno. Here's an idea. Click on thesaurus.com, expand your vocabulary and find other words you can use, yes? 3. Stop using the term "Thanks for sharing." It is tantamount to people who now automatically say, "I'm sorry for your loss" to a bereaved person, as if they read that phrase in some 'death for beginners' book. Why in heck don't these people just say, "I'm really sorry." Why do they mechanically add "for your loss"??? If you like what someone posted here, say something like, "Hey, that's very cool! Awesome!" Leave the dumbass, robotic "Thanks for sharing" portion off!!!!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
