Great to hear that he's not incarcerated ...Hope he's feeling better soon.

Man, it was nice to see the concern for me here. I really appreciate it!! Of course, I ain’t no fool, so I know some members were hoping my torch had been snuffed. Sorry to disappoint.

But I will say, if my current health/life condition was put into a slab by our Newport Beach overlords, I would probably only come back a PSA 4 (or perhaps a half point bump to a 4.5) right now. However, I can see a grade of a 7 or 8 in the near future (knock on cardboard!).

Shout out to Bobby: Be honest, if I was gone, your life would improve greatly. Is there anyone else even remotely as annoyingly involved with your group-sub efforts than me??? I think not.

The good(?) news is I’ve been working on some stuff, so there will be some updates to my entertaining (your opinion may vary) “Collectorisms” and “Grading Has Clouded Our Minds” threads, so stay tuned.

Thanks again to everybody who reached out here and through PMs and whatnot. Truly awesome!!

Glad to hear it Darren, keep up the good work terrorizing Bobby and best of luck on your recovery.

Guess it's time to put this back in the closet...

On a side note, thank God for my baseball card knowledge during my incarceration. I can't tell you how many times I talked myself out of being shivved by relating the story of how The Mick's 1952 Topps card is NOT his rookie. A life-saver for sure!!!

Bobby's OCD affliction is gonna cause his face to break out in hives dealing with PSA. I think I need a 6 month vacation.

Glad to hear you are doing ok.

I miss your posts!

I'm confused, so he's not in jail?

Is he out on bail?

Yeah, but as we all know, there's quite a range of eye appeal within the technical grades. Do you think you'd be a PSA 4 PWCC-PQ? PWCC-HE? Purple Sticker?

SGC is looking better and better everyday.

I wonder if a card with 4 sharp corners can be used as a shank?

To hear some of those old Maestro descriptions, they used cards to slice their steaks.

Glad to see you Back :-) hope you’re doing well sir.

Some do try that, but I found it much more effective to shove a hard slab of Topps gum down my tormentor's throat. There is no coming back from that. We called it 'the pink goodbye.'

I for one say THANK GOD! I love this forum, and just to frankly say it, cliche as it might be, it would not be the same without you!
