Koufax?

[JimStinson]

What are checks and GPCs ????? I liked it better when they were called "Ball holders" or "Ball bags" come on man ! can't we have any fun ??? Now lets talk about bat holders or bat protectors or bat sheaths...don't fight over it , its called a hobby. Laugh a little , the other rule associated with LEARN ALL YOU CAN ! is don;t make any enemies (smile) at least for the first 50 years then you are allowed to piss off anyone you want

Did I ever indicate that I was considering purchasing it? Going off of your advice and noticing it being talked about in an earlier thread, I did my own research and watched the Real Sports piece. It was fascinating as I had no idea your actions were so very damaging to the hobby. Really Shelly, an entire warehouse of crap only covering 10% of the garbage you helped send into the market? Impressive sir, impressive. What daring, what greed, what callous disregard for the hobby and those you helped steal from! I don't think that you "should have known it was bad because it had no holder." More than likely you knew it was bad because it was one of the pieces of crap that you had a part in. Yet you have the gall to make comments about who can and can't be trusted in the industry. You've done your time? You now want to help the hobby? How much restitution did you pay Shelly? You want to help? Sit back and start cutting checks to all of the people you took advantage of. I don't know much about collecting but I do indeed know what it means to be a decent person and you sir are not. Henceforth I will no longer respond to your posts. Enjoy your day.

I have to put this "ball holder" stuff to rest, it's killing me (LOL)....from a guy who has had successfully delivered over 250 balls and purchased north of 300 over my times of collecting through the mail, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you DO NOT want your ball being delivered in a crap ball holder.

Most jack off's put the ball in the holder and think it's secure for shipping...NEWS FLASH..It's not. It usually will rattle inside the holder like a pin ball and some of the times, will smear your ink all over the ball. They are best shipped in a plastic baggie, with a paper towel or tissue wrapped around it....and bubble wrap if it's an expensive ball, then placed in packing material (paper Shreddings, more bubble wrap, newspaper or that egg packing crap.......put it all in a small priority mailing box and you have a perfectly delivered ball all under 1# and under 7.00 anywhere in the US in 2-3 days..... without the stupid ball cube.

Good luck adding to your collection! FUDD

Chris is a total ass. Don't argue with him--it's best just to ignore him.
Lots of people here will help you with your collecting. Have fun!"

I'm going to take that advice!

That sir, is one awesome photo. Hopefully there isn't a photo of Bob's leg kick while in the same garb.
