Where are all the super rare cards?

What "minor leagues" did Orlando play in? I cannot find any reference to him anywhere....

According to his bio (Link), he played for the Antelope Valley Ravens of the Golden State League.

Does a card exist with J. O. (Or can someone photo shop one?)? Would love to have one...slabbed by SGC.Dave.

The Golden State League is not a "minor league" -- it is true that it is professional baseball, but it is not affiliated with Major or Minor League Baseball.

I am also amused by how angry and child like some responses are.

If you want to collect beaters, shop at K Mart, drink cheap beer and hang out with street hookers, that is your business.

Privately we received four letters supporting our position. Do remember that
impressionist painting retain their value while most art does not.

There is no glory in collecting PSA 9 or PSA 1. Not all cards are altered. In fact, what needs to be altered is the perverted little minds of the street thugs
that enjoy attacking me. There are certainly rare cards that can not be found in great condition...but then along comes the E 98 find. Our Four Base Hits and Just So were graded 20 years and are still the highest samples graded.

Like the unemployed, drug using socialists who feel a sense of entitlement,
I could care less what the general population thinks. I knew most of the star collectors well. In fact. I obtained first Boston Garter from Buck Barker,

The question raised is why are so few high grade rare cards offered. When some of the "posters" talk about class, there is upper class, middle class and low class. This special group of lost dirt bags are a class of their own...no class. I hope they enjoy the smells of the city, bad food and their drugs. At least, I know that theirs is life doomed to failure and tragedy. That thought alone is well worth the price of these lost souls attempt to express a cohesive thought from a limited and sad mine.

Come on Bruce, that wasn't the right way to respond. If that's how you feel why do you even bother to post? I could go on and on but I won't. There's room for a healthy discussion even among people who disagree with you.

Bruce,

I completely agree with Barry here. It isn't so much the content of your posts as you've had some very interesting posts in the past. However, I cringe when I read some of your posts...

I choose street hookers.

Disagreement is fine- the angry child like responses of some reflect an unforgivable level of stupidity/ The Board seems limited to those who collect low grade cards. That is fine, and some of the postings are interesting.

However when people start calling you four letter words and hate you because they are so isolated from reality, it is my view that they deserve to be cleansed from our society. Like terrorists, there should be a no holds bar ability to fight back. The Board attempts to avoid confrontation. We (board members) are not always friends, we compete and do what it takes within the law to win our fair share. Those unethical angry men do not deserve anything but disrespect. When a few of them passed away, I did not shed a tear. There is a reason that we have garbage trucks and sewage systems. Some of these posters belong there with rest of the dirt, filth and scum.

Unlike so many, I stand up for what I believe in and will never tolerate the sub human commentary of those low lives.

Wow.....Bruce re-enters a thread he created. A good sign for a change.....

As for ultra-rare cards, some whales have sold, some whales accumulate. Some of the whales that accumulate have the economic wherewithall to NEVER sell them, some have to sell or chose to sell at certain points in time.

Case in point....wonder why the seller of the ULTRA-RARE Boston Garter strip of four sold at this point? Great price realized but was it the highest he (or she) could have achieved?

Your forays into the group here are so interestingly timed.....every couple years you come in, alienate everyone, get banished, obviously BEG Leon to be reinstated, which he does, and rinse and repeat....that would be an analysts field day to try to figure out that type of behavior. I know your health has been sketchy and maybe you're looking for some friendship.

Regardless, your previous comment says that others are "isolated from reality".....you might pop into the bathroom to see who is most isolated from reality.....I think the vast majority of folks here on the board live in reality.....

I'm sure you'll get 8-12 emails of support after this post and buy 1-3 ultra-rare cards in the mean time as well.....

And thanks for stopping by again.....what's the over/under on how long you remain in the midst of the 'arm pit' collectors this time?

the angry child like responses

Come on Bruce, you are just like everyone else on this board in one important way: you all collect baseball cards. What difference does it make if yours have square corners and someone else's has rounded ones? Does that make them any less worhty? You could have a softer tone towards your fellow collectors and it would help you get along with them better. These are the people you buy, sell, and trade with, so why not keep things friendly?

This thread is totally useless....

[uffda51]

Whilst I am also named Bruce, I feel it is important to stress, for some of the newcomers keeping score at home, that I am not "We."

I'm shocked and appalled at the level of bigotry you spewed in this reply Bruce.

Recently we've had many discussions about ethics in the hobby from sellers and buyers, none of which is good for the board or the hobby. But in my mind most of that pales in comparison to the filth and hatred you spewed.

I hope Leon seriously considers banning you. Your posts reflect horribly on this board as just about all the threads on here are accessible by simple google searches.

Just because I, or another moderator, doesn't like someone or like what someone says, doesn't mean they get banned. I am a firm believer in letting folks hang themselves. If I had locked this thread then more folks wouldn't know the way Bruce is. We have almost 4000 members, there has to be a cuckoo or three with that many people.

[Cardboard Junkie]

Bruce probably pays for some of the cards he makes deals on!

[murcerfan]

In terms of value, appearance
and opportunity condition matters.

well stated.

Bruce would have made a great Nazi...his constant talk about "cleansing" is spooky IMO. Godwin Rule ( http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-godw...-analogies.htm - THREAD END.
