"Brian,
You seem to have been a bit tongue-in-cheek with some of your posts, so I also hope that you are only kidding about brain cancer. I don't know you outside of this board, so I can't really gauge if this is your sense of humor or not. If you are serious, then I sincerely also wish you the best with beating it and recovery." -me, two mins ago

Thank you, Curt. No change since the surgeon got 91-95% of the tumor in the left side of my brain during surgery at UPMC Presbyterian on December 1, 2020. Went through six months of radiation every weekday and a chemo capsule in my apartment each evening. Originally on November 3, 2020 in the emergency room at St Clair Hospital I asked the doctor the prognosis and at 11:43 (this is my time memory which drives my sister-in=law up a wall) I was told 5-7 median. I turned my head to the right to my brother and told him immediately I was going to be around 30 years.

I approach this battle like a barroom brawl. Everything is legal and if I have this SOB down, I am not allowing time for it to get back up. The tests over the past three have backed my statement to my brother.

The only thing in the six months that annoyed me is that I was restricted from driving which is completely understandable. It, however, nearly interrupted a tradition I have held since 2004. My father died January 8, 2002. He was cremated. We interred him after his birthday in 2003.

Every May 11 from 2004-2020 I traveled from Pittsburgh to Fremont/Ballville, Ohio to pay respects. Because of the cautionary period I was at risk of missing it, but a friend volunteered and drove to and from. I will always be appreciative. Next year would have been my dad's 99th birthday and 2025 of course is a date I am missing at no cost, so to the Stage 2 Astrocytoma the barroom brawl is on.

Would someone please just threaten to sue Archive and bring this full circle?

I was thinking that very same thought the other day...

We won't entertain that notion. However, whilst everyone has been debating the veracity of the 1921 Herpolshimers, we have acquired several cards off our World's Toughest Want List.

I will sue the archive if one of our lawyers will take my case and be my lawyer for a box of 1988 Donruss (unopened!) OR 1990 Score football* (also unopened!).

* A dealer told me all 1990 Score football cards are fake, so be aware these are factually not real cards.

8 pages on a Net54 thread is incredible

It’s a great thread. I’ve enjoyed all of it. Brian is entitled to his opinion, regardless of how unsupported it strikes many folks. Surprised at the level of vitriol it has gotten out of some people. In the grand scale of things to be seriously irked about, this doesn’t move the needle.

There is a lot of group think on the board, where certain people speak and others fall in line like the high oracle of Delphi has spoken. Props for Brian holding his ground despite the groundswell against him. Man is entitled to his opinion as they say.

Nah! That is bull!

There are facts and there are non-facts. There aren’t two sides to this stupidity. Nobody should be condoning bullshit behavior and save the “there are always two sides to every story” card.

Brian is being either purposefully pigheaded or (worse) he really believes this stuff.

It may seem silly to you but wrong information shouldn’t be condoned or explained by people like you so save it.

He’s not speaking truth against conceited elites; he’s lying and making shit up that directly contradicts the evidence. Hobby experts are often wrong, but that’s not what is happening here.

Follow evidence, not people.

Steve,

Thank you.

I just let the vitriol slide and not participate in it.

I literally laughed out loud when reading this. You captured their essence perfectly.
