Wow, has this thread taken some twists and turns!!

By my count we've covered:

Nash, Wentz & Mastro
Cobb & Edwards
Racism
conservative politics
liberal politics
Michael O'Keefe
Auction House Shilling (c'mon, someone bring up Curt Schilling and the bloody sock or his failed 38 Studios!!)
Computer Hacking of Auction House Software
Spelling
REA, SGC, PSA
Great '70's sitcoms
and the highlight for me - a BEAUTIFUL Hank Greenberg card.

Now that is a thread that went far afield....

@Leon.....Don't let him back in until he learns to use upper AND lower case letters.....

Still missing a decent Seinfeld reference. And NOIZE. Definitely need to bring on DA NOIZE!

This thread also correctly pointed out that some of us here, "intrinsically value pictures of long dead sporting men."

Additionally, there was a reference made to an, "illiterate, feces-flinging monkey."

Two pretty memorable quotes, in my opinion. I know I won't forget them.



Best Regards,

Wow. I've always found it ironic/hypocritical/etc that those who tout Che Guevara as a hero never want to "redistribute" their collection to those of us with lesser means to afford them. Perhaps capitalism only suits them when they are the ones in line to make a buck?

[Exhibitman]

Well, I'd definitely like to redistribute some Cuban cards into my collection...

At least he made it to 300 posts!

My guess is that he read Jason's posts, they infuriated him (as it did many of us), and he responded without reading farther down the page.

Many others read Jason's posts, took a deep breath and moved on as well.

Can someone please fill me on the 1952 Mantle story. In other words, I forgot to ask Leon about this today

I should have respected the rules of political comments and refrained my jab in the response to Richard. For that I apologize.....as for the Sanford & Sons comment I stand corrected as well considering ole Red Fox (God rest his soul) had more class than these two clowns. Of course some would assume Sanford & Sons to be a racial slur as most with like minds do without asking. I actually was comparing the two morons as "junk dealers" trying to pass of trash and the first thought that came to mind was Sanford.

Rich, as for the Mantle the idea was to raise some funds for a Tornado last year. The goal was to send out packs of misc. cards to say thanks with a chance to win an authentic 52 Mantle IF ALL packs sold raising a large amount of funds for the community. However, it got derailed over on CU and vomited all over here as well and became a train wreck. I am not going to re-hash this or try to explain anything for its old news. Only a few packs were in fact sold raising $800 or so (I actually refunded a bunch back when some jerks tried to make accusations) were sold thus realizing that no way we would sell these all to make conducive to include Mick. I was greatful for what we raised and most that gave were happy and very thoughtful. These are my last and final comments on this and again I sincerely apologize to Leon and other members for throwing out a political grenade on a baseball card forum. We are all bound together by a fun hobby and it should stay that way. Happy collecting.

And would have done so even without the Mantle being included -- but morally, once you said the card was going to be included, despite any potential loss to yourself, you should ahve included the card for those who did contribute.

Just MOO
