What is your favorite heated discussion?

[Runscott]

a few examples: T206 sheet-size, reason for the scarcity of T206 Plank cards, Coupon cards categorization, what constitutes a rookie card?, should photographs get their own Net54 sub-forum... I am sure there are many more, but this should suffice for stirring up trouble…I mean, discussion.

[Brian Van Horn]

I'm generally lukewarm.

my favorite heated discussion is proper use of:

their, they're and there

and

two, too, to.

[Mountaineer1999]

Pete Rose H.O.F

That's really good - I forgot about HOF arguments.

Another good one is ebay shilling discussions, which is actually my least favorite. Personally, I like the T206 sheet-size threads.

Complaining about lack of punctuation in long sentences, or lack of periods, period. Surest way to get someone screaming in misspelled curse words.

The ridiculous notion that some consider a Ty Cobb back to be a T206 card

[Al C.risafulli]

I like the discussion about where to have dinner.

My favorite heated discussion is a thread in which a scammer tries to legitimize their shenanigans and is ultimately quashed by the board.

The, "Nun's Wagner" stunt comes to mind, for example.

Well Johnny, I hope you continue to enjoy these scraps vicariously through the collections of others, and that every now and then one of your friends tosses a sympathy scrap your way

As far as "hate on something good" - I don't hate them;in fact I love them. If you remember, I wrote an article about them. I will gladly buy additional scraps if I think they are enough below the current market value that I can re-sell them at a profit. I sold my previous ones for a reason - I just wasn't in love with them enough to keep them, and I got serious bucks for every last one of them, which I used to buy other things. You are a smart guy - you understand this. Quit playing dumb I find it ironic that you personally had such a huge part in destroying your own ability to collect something you love. You talked so much about them that you convinced your friends who had cash, and now you're kind of out of the game.

For your sake, given how much you wish you could afford to buy some, I wish the market price had stayed low. I'm sure you miss those days. Me - I sold all of mine, so obviously I wasn't quite so in love with them as you. That makes them a commodity in my mind, and that's still how I look at them.

In 1983 I could have bought a T206 Wagner for well under $50,000. I didn't. I regret it. Scraps - not so much.

Good luck, Johnny. I hope you get over being scrap poor and assuming everyone else feels the same way.

Johnny, bewildered over ten years of these retorts of yours, I sent you an email. But just read this post and it sounds like you just have a weird sense of humor. In the future I'll take your responses with a grain of salt.

Ok Tim,

Ginger or MaryAnn?

That thing about Lovey or Betty White..... hmmmm..... Lovey was born in 1900 and Betty White was born in 1922, does that help?

Fred - you have abused this thread...even worse than me and Johnny. I will never again be able to watch Gilligan's Island with the same level of ... fantasy?

There is no way in hell that could be Tina Louise. That pic looks like a wax figure, good god that's creapy.....

[Runscott]

...and as far as scrap envy goes, ask Chris what my thoughts were when the huge T206 collection with scraps and rare backs became available during the National.

I would have bought them in a heartbeat if I had found a partner, I would have studied the scraps until I fell asleep with them in my lap, learning as much as I possibly could have from them - maybe even written another article.

Then I would have sold every last one of them.

that's like a treasure trove

I hope you had a chance to see it. I looked at it, came up with a value in my head, then heard later that it had been sold. I think I verbally abused Chris for not warning me.

Can confirm, there was a shock and awe look then immediately the number crunching look then the "Im disappointed in you son" look.
