I only changed it to a picture of Titus because I collect T206 cards, and his card is the only one in the set with a mustache. I don't have any of his cards, much less a horde of them.

Once again, my un-informed, over-eager attempts at humor come back to bite me in my 'Buck Herzog'?

No harm or intrusion intended.

It's quite ok, Raymond. I just wanted to make sure that nobody thought I was hoarding these things. I wish I could get my hot little hands on even one really nice Titus. Then I'd be content. Lord knows I need so many cards from the set yet, so buying more than one of any T206 card wouldn't even cross my mind unless I was doing an upgrade. But then I'd sell the other card, like I did with my Walter Johnson.

When it comes to communicating online, especially on an internet forum where you may not personally know everybody, something that is humorous, or tongue in cheek may be obvious to most people, but not everybody. I'm usually pretty good at catching those kinds of things, but I do miss them, too. This is another example of my whiffing. To be perfectly honest, I thought your post was more directed at my tendency to be somewhat long winded in my posts. Either way, I wasn't offended. It's all good.
