I caught my error and corrected it immediately, but even as fast as I type, I can't type as fast as you are reading and posting.

Relax, man. I have to assume that you are conducting your business transactions (and decision-making) the same way that you are reading this forum and posting. Bad, bad way to do things.

Adrian- you have worn me and the rest of the board out. You now get 2 new threads a day and 15 posts a day. Your 15 can start now so it can be fair. That is twice as many times as I post a day and I post more than anyone. Use them wisely.

Leon, He must have been slow out of the gate as he is ONLY averaging 14.63 posts a day

He didn't post very much for a lot of days. He is probably averaging 50+ a day lately. I think 15 a day will be bearable. If not, then it will be revised.

Leon,

Can we set up a separate section entitled "Zone91 daily post summary"?

Sort of like the evening news, with just the highlights? "In today's posts..."

I have work that needs to get done, and these 17 page rants are killing me!

[Zone91]

Leon

I will respect those terms!!!

I did my best to re-cap today's highlights....

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 gladly 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.".

Contrary to popular belief, apparently guys do enjoy soap operas. I have spent an (almost certainly) unhealthy amount of time watching this one.

Pulling out of here, for now. I have a cool idea for a poll.

And no, it has nothing to do with the OP. I simply wouldn't go there.

Best regards to all.

Eric, you’re correct and you're one of them every time Adrian posts you're right behind him in the thread.

[wonkaticket]

Honestly I don’t see why all the concern over how this guy spends his money, how he spends his money or who he spends his money with. Who cares? Unless he’s doing deals with you what do you guys care?

“Ease” said it best. Adrian will either become a collector or burn out then sell his cards. I’ve seen about 20 people come on Net54 over the years and do the same thing.

I do agree Adrian doesn’t need a new thread each day for every thought in his head LOL. Adrian only advice I'll give you take it or leave it. Is you share too much detail on your deals.

It’s none of these folks business how you afford or buy your cards that’s your business. If someone asks me “how did you afford that?” or “how or why did you buy that?” I would say let me worry about that. You worry about what you have to pay for and what and why you buy. All the other info is just feeding the sharks to ask more questions…just my 2 cents.

Cheers,

John,

I completely agree! The caveat for me is that Adrian has 500+ posts and actually (I could be wrong) hasn't spent ANY money yet or actually have ANY cards in hand!

It's a train wreck waiting to happen, IMHO.

Here's my take on Adrian. The man's got some dough, and likes baseball cards, and wants to talk baseball cards with a bunch of other collectors. Sounds Good! If he is playing games here we will all know in a week or two. In the meantime let's enjoy. Dave
