I joined this party late and I have been trying to catch up. Someone tell me if I have thew facts straight.

1. We have a newbie who has come into a pile of money.

2. Instead of taking some time to learn about fakes and reprints, he has jumped into the deep end of the pool and is buying cards for large sums of money.

3. He has convinced various dealers to accept his word as to forth-coming payment. They obliged and have removed the cards from their working inventories. (I will glady pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today)

4. He has, at this point in time, neither the cards nor the money.

5. He has already canceled at least two purchases. I wager he is on at least two sh*t lists.

6. Every card deal discussed includes a dollar amount. Am I the only one who cannot remember a price in the monthly pick-up thread?

7. He admits to having a compulsion disorder that he takes medication for.

8. He has acknowledged, but ignored, numerous bits of good advice from a forum full of some of the sharpest baseball card collectors on the planet.

9. He most likely has posted multiple times since I started typing this.

10. I have completely wasted my time typing this.

A man jumps off the roof of a ten story building. Through an open window on each passing floor he is heard to say, "So far, so good.".

The real question is, "Are we the people on each floor or the frenzied crowd gathering on the sidewalk across the street, taking bets on 'bounce or splat?'".
