I hate to sound like I am out of touch but who is Bruce?

[T206DK]

Has anyone ever called "them" a glittering jewel of collossal ignorance ? How do you expect to work on your "world class" collection if no collectors will have anything to do with you. Personal attacks and threats should qualify you to be banned from posting if you ask me. Seriously, how many friends can you make in life acting the way "the group" does on this board. They sound quite content to pursue life's endeavours and their world class collection alone....so be it !

The "Dorskind Group" has sent me a few scans of "their" collection and I do appreciate the sharing of "their" collection. I do not agree with some of the posts, but take it in stride.

Andrew, I have a card that we have talked of exchanging and I decided long ago that I did not want this card to end up in your collection. This thread goes to further my belief.

Wow of all the times I asked a simple I will keep it would have done. No biggie just don't see why it needed to be thrown out here like I am bad to deal with. Oh well I know you got your reasons. Nothing against you just a bit confused about it.

[carrigansghost]

This just goes to further my point.

If you don't like reading Bruce's posts there is an easy way to click on the "ignore" link above and you will never see any of his posts again. If you feel he is amusing or entertaining or interesting, read away.
Bruce I also think you might be surprised to see a lot of members responding differently to your posts if you cut the condescending crap and just discuss baseball cards and the hobby.

[wonkaticket]

Short of threatening emails, hollow lawsuit threats and an ego that would choke a horse, I can safely say Bruce has never really shared that much on this board.

As for this loose term tossed around “museum quality” having a family and friends that have been involved with the Smithsonian for over 30+ years that doesn’t really mean anything. I remember being shown the American History’s display of baseball cards at the age of 14 and thinking wow my stuff is nicer than what they have. Just because it’s left to a museum doesn’t make it valuable they will take almost anything. Museums also very rarely purchase anything if they really were after this stuff on a buying level REA would be a lot tougher. Real museums aren’t after baseball cards…most museums have the same problem more stuff than they can show to the public, and stuff way more valuable than baseball cards sits in back rooms never to see the light of day.

Want to brag about a museum quality collection? Its simple guys draft a will to any museum leaving your collections they will take them. Then you too have a museum quality collection.

What he has done on here is talk about a few items he owns ad nauseum and to attend a Net 54 dinner and pull the ol’ dine and dash.

When the dust settled that evening all parties where there and offering “how much do we owe ya Leon?” Leon and Wonka said we got it…but then everyone said at the same time “anyone seen Bruce?” LOL

Anytime he gets you down just visualize him as this…works for me and it’s not too far from the truth.



P.S. Sort of like where's Waldo can you find the Vaseline container in the pic?

If you are trying to add to your "world class" collection, why insult fellow collectors who might aid in your quest? Frankly, I should think that many on this board would now be reluctant to sell an item to the Dorskind Group at any price. A good marketing strategy? Seems counterproductive to me.

Bruce is currently off-line concluding two mega-million dollar contracts and has received six e-mails with offers of ultra high grade cards on America's Toughest Want List. Then it's lights out and . .

Heh! I've only gotten two "death wishes" from Bruce, but my first one made the New York Daily News Blog and will sit there in Google to embarrass the Dorskind Group for eternity.

[Browncow75]

I AM poor white trash, and yet I feel more culturally refined than some "rich" idiot sitting behind a computer making idle threats in cyberspace, knowing full well that he would much rather hide behind a wall of lawyers before getting his habds dirty (and ass kicked) backing them up, if confronted on them. Besides, people like that have no "balls" to kick Andrew.

I've never posted about Bruce or the Bruces before, and probably never will again. But I do have one question that perhaps he or someone who knows him can answer: Why does he post here? He gets teased and attacked relentlessly (I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be attacked, but it's obvious he is attacked). What does he get in return? If I was attacked like him (whether I deserved it or not), I'd leave and find another place with people that I get along with. I just don't get it.

Like everyone else, I also don't get the "we" thing. Bruce says it is a marketing strategy that his worked well for him in other contexts. I'll take his word on that. But it's obviously not working well for him here. Why not use a marketing strategy that works here?

Why not use a marketing strategy that works here?

Why use any marketing strategy?
