Oh my gosh so many discussions which were enjoyable and enlightening as well...it is hard to choose a couple. I typically save important threads in a Word doc as well as the various links.

The Skydash find (Colgan's Chips E-270-2, T-206, T-210 Red Border & others) and follow up discussions was one memorable series of thread. It was interesting to follow from the beginning when everyone thought Skydash was possibly a hoax. Leon (sorry Leon) has to take partial blame for this, due to the previous year's April Fool's hoax (That thread was pretty interesting in & of itself). The thread turned into a gripping thriller with new information after every post...it was exciting to read and was something akin to participating first hand in a well written thriller.

Here are links to some of the Skydash Threads:

Thank you so much, Zach!

If you all don't see me post for the next three days (not likely, but it could happen), it's because I'm engrossed in all these great discussions.

I did have one question after reading both of the Skydash topics. He'd mentioned that he had at least one Eddie Plank T206, and two or three of the Sherry Magee "Magie" T206 errors as well. Did he ever post pictures of them? His Imageshack account shows several of the tin tops, but I see only three T206 cards, one of which is a red backed Ty Cobb. Did he actually have the Plank and Magee error cards? (edit: after seeing there are additional topics regarding the Skydash find, it's possible (and likely) these questions have already been answered. I'm going to read the other threads, but if somebody could provide me with an answer anyway, it would be appreciated!)

Brad, everybody I've ever talked to that has met him has had the same impression. Very nice guy. I for one would love to meet him.

I became a Brewer fan at a pretty young age (7 or 8), and of course back then (the late 70's to early 80's), the team was quite good. The Brewers acquired Rollie before the 1981 season in a trade with the Cardinals (we got Rollie, Ted Simmons, and Pete Vuckovich-the 1981 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, the 1982 AL Cy Young Award winner, and a guy I think should be in the Hall of Fame. Not too shabby.), and I became a fan of his pretty much as soon as he suited up. Even as a kid, I thought he had panache (though I didn't know the word for it back then ). I loved his mustache, and as a baseball fan, I appreciated how great he was as a pitcher. Even after he got hurt, and had to retire, I still had a special place in my heart for him. I still do.

I'm hoping to get back out to Las Vegas soon. One of my best friends, Brett, lives out there, and Rollie is one of the coaches of his daughter's youth baseball team.

I'd love just to shake his hand, and thank him for helping the Brewers get to the World Series. I'm afraid I'd talk his ear off though, lol.

The Barry Sloate Action Jeans ad spoof is just wrong. You guys need to have more respect for the hobby pioneers than that.

Default Really?

We have had 33 posts and no one has brought up Bruce Dorskind? You want a combination of information and complete trainwreck threads, just do a search for him or America's Toughest Wantlist. Cannot remember his screen name on this forum but you start getting involved in some of the hundreds of posts per topic and your six weeks are gone.

Barry did roundhouse the hell out of me when I saw him in NYC for that picture. Besides everyone knows that when the boogeyman goes to sleep each night he checks the closet for Sloate. You think I would take a chance being on the wrong end of that!

Besides this is the first image that comes up...that's not a bad thing for the ladies.


Everyone knows we love the kid from Brooklyn. Barry is one of the best folks I've had the pleasure to meet from this hobby and that's not a joke.

Default isn't there a famous NY Dinner thread

And there was some thread that took one one day when I was still at Beckett and between 8 AM and 5 PM there were literally 400 posts including a side bar where Leon and I decide to go to lunch during the middle of the thread

This is still my favorite --

First go here:

Then here:
( There are two intertwined discussions here - I admittedly hijacked the thread to interject the Mark Americans photo topic -
start with post #27 by Mark(bmarlowe) on 4/15/2009 at 4:16 PM, then scroll down a ways to post at 4/16/2009 at 11:17 AM and following down a bit)
http://tinyurl.com/4x45gkh

You can read a nice summary (start on p. 4) here:

I agree the Dutch Revelle thread was very informative.I also enjoyed the Skydash threads.I have about 15 Skydash T210's and am always looking for more.It was a nice condition collection that came out in that one,at least judging by the examples I have.

I just spent a few hours going through all those Skydash links... wow. That's just an incredible journey through an amazing discovery! So cool to read!

Thanks so much!
