You complain about one of the wives insulting you, but the fact you refer to someone’s wife as a “battleaxe” and another dealer’s wife as an “idiot” is extremely condescending, disrespectful and insulting in its own right especially when those individuals will most likely not have the chance to defend themselves here against your misogyny.

But good job getting back at the third wife and dealer by cherry picking the heck out of that book, it evidently made you feel so much better about yourself for it.

awww, does someone need a safe space to go cry?

No offense to dealers but I generally assume a dealer has already marked their cards up 20% so expecting a 20% break off the bat so that you're paying real world prices is pretty okay with me. I don't buy into any of that crap about paying more just because you're at a show. That is insane. No one gives you a deal because you're buying on eBay. Why should I pay more just because you're in front of me? We both save money on the in person deal by me not having to pay shipping and you not paying eBay.

This thread was started by someone who put down wives of dealers. The next 2 posts stuck up for the wives and then it has turned into putting down all women in general and then a bunch of collectors complaining they "deserve" a discount sine they are going to "spend a lot of money".

Anyone looking at this would laugh at us for being so immature.

Lets talk about baseball cards!

Are there moderators checking these threads out? If so, please nudge them to wake up!

I'm sure some will not like me saying this but we are really acting childish.

The moderators on this site usually just let stuff go unless it get really carried away or you attack them. The main rule that gets enforced is if you give an opinion on a person or company your real name needs to be in the post.

IMHO the above is what makes this forum much better than the others.

First world problems....

Uh, I think first world problems would describe every single comment in the history of a board about collecting baseball cards. Not adding much with that, but I hadn't heard that phrase in the last 8 minutes so your post was mildly amusing.

dang, I opened this thread thinking there would be a pin-up calendar.
