Past events that i will address.......

[Wite3]

I guess I am now on the other side of the fence and let me be the first to apologize to Marshall...

Marshall, I am sorry that a year ago I pointed out the inconsistencies in your stories and tales. Your hyperbole and exaggeration are to be commended. I am also sorry that I did not realize right away that we had a near golf champion who once had one great round in a PGA qualifying event. Good job!

Marshall, I am sorry that you seem to have taken the good natured ribbing here so to heart and had to come on and defend yourself from the likes of Joann and Barry. It was totally unfair for them to have feelings about what you said about them.

Marshall, I am sorry that I ever doubted that you collected cards, you obviously have a collection of at least four cards. I hope Bruce makes you a fair offer for them. They are beautiful!

Marshall, I am sorry that you seem to have a problem expressing yourself in an adult manner. I feel that, as adults, many here may have difficulty understanding your speaking patterns and content. The good news is that I understand it since I am regularly around elementary children in my capacity as a teacher.

Marshall, I am sorry that I might have a difficulty understanding how one person might find something offensive and one person might not. I did not understand that on a public forum about baseball cards that a poster, such as yourself, should be allowed to spout whatever he wants and damn all if he upsets people more respected than himself.

Marshall, I am sorry that you were not given the same amount of respect Barry, Leon, Peter, etc. enjoy the second you found this forum and posted. That was definitely an oversight on our part. As you seem to keep trying to say, respect is not earned, it should be given outright!

For all these lapses, Marshall, I am truly sorry.

Joshua, you owe me a fold next Hold'em game as I just lost a drink of beer through my nose reading your post. Thank you very much.

Why is it that the board is so quick to jump on a guy like Marshall who, while occasionally obnoxious, by all accounts has never ripped anyone off? Yet so many on the board are just as quick to defend great guys who routinely steal from hobbyists? The obvious answer is that so many of said hobbyists routinely make make money as consignors off the fraud perpetrated by some really great guys -- even at the expense of the rest of us. Maybe some of the impressive umbrage displayed here could be directed at the thieves of our hobby instead of Marshall.

I think people (myself included) get on Marshall for a variety of reasons.

1. He's an easy and obvious target. He came on the board loud and attacking, and people don't like that approach.

2. His choice of people to attack seems odd. He goes after Barry, Joann, Joshua, and Al. These are people generally considered to be even tempered and likable. If he was just rude to Bruce, or a couple of others, people would view him differently.

3. He's a square peg trying hard to fit in a round hole, and I don't just mean the board, but life in general. Guys like him were funny back in college, but most grew out of it.

I could probably go on for a while, but anyone asking why we're "quick to jump on a guy like Marshall", is just spoiling for a fight himself.

Well, I did offer other reasons. LOL.


And I don't think everyone is giving a free pass to all the great guys, but I hear what you're saying. I think "great guys" who have been PROVEN to be guilty will have a tough time rehabbing themselves in this industry, but those just accused will be able to skate by for a while. If onl;y there was some way to get these guys under oath and deposed.

I think it's pretty obvious that some of these guys are in a pretty steep downward spiral. But I will bet that a pretty good percentage of their major customer base has no idea of the problems we discuss here. But the word will eventually get out. Just hope too many more people (consignors and bidders) don't get burned in the end.

It's ok Jeff i don't pay any attention to the "click". Joshua kind of reminds me of the professor in back to school when he is taking himself so seriously in conducting the business class, when Dangerfield speaks up and talks about how things are done in the real world the professor gets pissed just like our dear friend Joshua.

You know something Joshua i finally figured out what i want to be when i grow up.......stretches.......yawns........yep you guessed it bro a elementary school teacher. By god if i really put my mind to it i could actually do it, oh i know it is so hard to become one and like only 1 out of a million make it but i swear if i go to the gym everyday and then look in the mirror and practice my lines i can do it........uhhhhh.....huhhhhh.....clearing throat now.......now class i want you all to behave and Donald please stop wiping boogers on Lisa because she is not a napkin. Wheeeeeeee........what fun

[Reginald Marsh]

Jim.....let me state that i do not pick on anyone. Allow me to refresh your memory captain. The names you mentioned generally came on my threads hijacking them creating drama and when i fired back they got their panties in a uproar. Also please note that many things i stated came true but you forgot to mention that so allow me to refresh your memory.

1. Said Fla would cover and win the National Title GASP- It happened
2.Said Take the points with the Cardinals-GASP-They covered
3.Told the board of a filly i own that had no chance running at Charlestown because of her cuppy feet but watch out when i ship her because she can boogie and GASP- when i shipped her to Mountaineer park she went off at odds 29 to 1 and ran second by a nose GASP-the trifecta paid over a grand and the exacta paid almost 200 now i wonder how many times i had it
she also paid 19.00 to place and almost 10.00 to show but i know you had no money one her because you were to busy looking in the mirror telling yourself how wonderful you are while dousing yourself with Old Spice.

[Reginald Marsh]

Also please note Jim i am not trying to fit into anything. I have pretty much seen it all and thoroughly enjoyed myself on the ride so far. I really do not feel that any of you attack me or do anything that harms me in anyway.

Twist it however you like Jim and i will leave you with this. It's your lie bro so tell it however you like

Marshall,

None of your points has anything to do with vintage baseball cards. That's the first problem. This is a vintage baseball card board and most of your posts are OT.

Secondly, the people you pick fights with are well respected in the field of vintage baseball cards. For God's sakes, if you can't get along with Barry and Joann, you need to be in a room by yourself. There are plenty of guys here you can disagree with and be rude to and no one would care. You seem to only target the likable guys.

Thirdly, your "personality" takes a little bit of getting used to... We're not there yet, and may never be. I respect the fact that you don't care, but you're rude and abrasive. Don't expect that aspect to win you any friends.

[Reginald Marsh]

Oh i understand it's a baseball card site but all work and no play is BORING. Out of 100 posts maybe 10% stray off into Off Topic which is always fun and breaks up the card talk.

Try going to a card show and then just sit there all day and talk baseball cards.....Ohhhhh...that's right you just like to sit and type on computers because i missed you at the National.

I really do not have a problem with the folks you mentioned and i see your upset in the fact that when they hijacked my thread i basically fired back so you have twisted that into me picking on them but it is ok because they have meds for someone like yourself.....ummm....i believe the word is Haldol.
