Hi Everyone!

Leon and I have been talking and Leon asked me to post again, so I thought the best way to do that is to tell everyone hi! I know I have been dealing with several of you, but you have not seen me post on here in a long time.

Well, I have a forum as well I am running with a couple of friends, so I am staying busy with that and wheeling and dealing. I am not going to post a link to my forum since it is similar to this one and out of respect I feel I shouldn't do that, as I am not advertising - just saying hi.

I will pop in from time to time and chime in here. Especially when I feel that I can help in a question - like the T206 back surveys and things. I have been buying several cards from the B/S/T thread from people here - thanks to all!

Happy Collecting!

It's only cardboard and like I have said all along....I just want to collect with my friends and have fun. That's what it's all about to me...(and the millions I make off the banners of course ) Take care....

I know I have dealt with many of you on this board over the years. So, I wanted to let you all know that I will be attending this year's National in Cleveland (unless a family emergency or something drastic arises before then). I look forward to meeting a lot of you for the first time in person! I will be walking around with my family and Dan Koteles, Tony Andrea and their better halves.

Leon,
You make millions off the banners and the contest you ran was for only a E136? Time to put up the Buck Ewing N167 I think...

Scott,

Nice meeting you, the forum is crazier than ever before, we need to get back to discussing pre-war cards.

Ok, lets all bust out into a rendition of Welcome back (for those of you old enough, follow the Welcome back Kotter theme)...

Weren't many of us who survived those Full Count days it seems. It was wild, but fun.

I don't have that Lindy SC 350 any longer. I sold it when I sold my collection of 100+ SC 150 Overprints and 150 Series only cards with diff. backs - when I started collecting caramels a couple of years back. Fact was, I thought it was common knowledge that the Lindy with a 350 Series back existed, so I didn't keep it or think much about it.

I do remember a few months back when Brian W. outbid me on a Mike Powers with a 350 back on eBay! Brian needs to tell us about that one, as it was long thought that Powers was a 150 Series only card. Maybe that one was on a sheet from the 150 Series lying around the Factory and was printed up with a 350 Series back to get it out of the Factory????? Anyway, maybe Brian can shed some light regarding that card for us!

I've still got a few red Hindu's, wnat to talk more on these.
Thanks so much for the Red Hindu Gandil, it really got me inspired
on my B-Sox Collection, just addded an Obak Weaver last year.

What's the historical background on Ten Million? Saw the Victoria Obaks.
Interesting player, also wondering about his family history.

Also, glad to hear you still have the Red Hindu Gandil you bought from me. I had three of those at one time - one VG and two EX. You got the best one!

I just traded an SGC 20 Ten Million and have an SGC 10 on eBay. I don't really know much about the player however - I have to admit that I bought these two Ten Millions for trade bait, as people love the name.

Speaking of Red Hindus - Brian W. has the PSA 7 Konetchy (Glove Low) I once owned as well. It is nice that you guys still have these great cards.

I always wondered what Mr. Kotter was coming back from. Anybody know? I mean why were they welcoming him back?
