Bruce was polarizing. Sometimes he was a gentleman, other times his behavior was totally bizarre. He was a tough guy to figure out.

Kenny do you feel better? While I agree Bruce was an odd bird who said some nasty stuff. Does kicking the body of dead man really make it all better? If anything you just went to Bruce’s level, so even in death the guys getting the better of you.

David as for your post you were hardly a member here when Bruce was around so not sure why you’re jumping on the bandwagon?

I don’t think anyone is having a love in about Bruce I just think people are taking the high road and seeing what little positive there could be around a man who was very publicly negative a lot of the time.

Oh and I got my lawsuit threats, death threats and class war emails as well.

Have to mostly agree with Wonka on this one. I am not sure he went after anyone more than myself. And I don't think he ever realized I was one of his only defenders on the board. When someone passes away, unless they physically hurt me or my family, I prefer to let it go. Bruce had some good qualities too. I think he led a complicated and uneasy life. RIP Bruce.....

Default I got a couple of those from Bruce too

When he passed and I read the obits, he like many of us was a complicated man and I hope he found the peace he never did on earth.

And I hope wherever he is, he continues to find items for his collection

I suppose we should lighten up on the memory of a dead man. It's not like he got caught stealing from the NYPL or anything.

David besides tell tall tales about Brown Lenox cards you find in binders is there more to your shtick that I should know about?

My point was pretty simple most folks posting in here had beefs or butt heads with Bruce so I get the heat. You however were hardly here or not here at all when Bruce was on fire so I ask again besides looking to join in the rain deer games why jump on the bandwagon?

Are you kidding? While Kenny was taking the time to blast him, Bruce closed the deal on adding five more high-grade cards to the collection.
