Who are the top 10 living vintage BB card experts?

[Cardboard Junkie]

I don't have a top ten....but I have a bottom 10 just don't get me started...alot of them are the rude arrogant, self proclaimed experts on this board. I would like to add that an extensive knowledge of baseball doesnt mean dick in relationship to cards......Lots of armchair collectors that just don't get it. I for one really don't care for the modern game of baseball, I just like the cards.. I also think a history of childhood collecting sets a strong foundation for a future expert. In the past you have Burdick, Lipset, Carter, Nagy, and only one or two others. ok enough venting....time for another bowl. dave.

I think you have to put that Archive guy near the top of the list.... He seems to know a lot about everything.....

I'd say me in all ten slots. If it was a top 100 list, someone else's name might slip in there around 97 or 98. I said might.

Now, if it was the list of so-called experts, I have names.

I am a + 1 with Cardboard Junkie...don't ask don' tell !!

[slidekellyslide]

This forum has a ton of people who know everything about certain sets or companies...in fact I think the knowledge that these people possess surpasses Burdick, Nagy, et al. Those guys didn't have the internet at their disposal...and a lot has been discovered since those guys walked into the cornfield.

Oh, wait. Mintacular said living baseball card experts. That would exclude me. Unless reanimated counts.

I would vote for Dave at least twice.

These threads always give me a chuckle, right up there with questions like, "Who are your favorite board members?".

If people really did start submitting "Top 10" lists, you would end up with the thread from hell. But it would be fun.

Hey Eric, If Leon is on your list you can put +920 (he's at least equal to owning a T206 Wagner).

Adam, makes a good point.

David sad but true, BTW did you ever get somebody to scan your Brown Lenox card yet? I know you hate tech so I'll only ask once a year and its a new year.

My only name for the list.....



Cheers,

John

A couple of people in this thread have met me, and will testify that I'm lifelike.
