Keith Olbermann's 3 favorite t206 cards

I care what I think are the three prettiest T206 cards. I have eyes that appreciate, why should I put any more stock in the subjective opinions of a hobby veteran than my own?

Personally, I feel the same about KO in regards to politics. BUT we also have to remember some of the seemingly hateful speech and who it is directed towards is often (to an extent) an act. Maybe not the core of the opinions, but the overblown statements often made in regards to them. I feel the same about Rush too. I don't agree with what or how things are said with him either, but we have to remember that what they do IS a form of entertainment, and as entertainers, they may go to extremes from time to time, to cater towards their audience.. I'd never hold anything said, by these PERFORMERS against them..

Accepting that, I respect the entertainment factor of these types of threads. The point isn't that we're supposed to put any more merit towards the celebrity opinions. But it's always nice to hear what anyone's thought are, and his celebrity status(combined with his hobby status) is meant to draw more attention to the topic, to springboard even more of us into sharing our own opinions on the subject, as opposed to spinning into a full fledged political war.

Now having said that. Thank you Keith, for taking the time to share with us. It is appreciated..

You think that is fantastic, just wait until he shows up next time and post a pic of his T206 uncut sheet that he has in his collection!

I sure hope it's soon

I'd just love a chance just to sit down and see his collection and listen to him talk about it. One collector to another. That'd be amazing.

I too enjoy the blog. Also enjoy the guy who always writes the same comment saying Mr. Olbermann "is this generations Murrow".

And when I say always, I mean ALWAY'S.
