I was a rare board member who had something of a tolerance for Adrian. One thing i will say for him is that when he wanted something, he went after it hard. He and I often looked for similar cards and he would pay at least half again what I would be willing to. I have a lot more respect for people…even crazy people…who put their money where their mouth is than I do for big mouth tire kickers. He also would make sacrifices to get what he wanted. When he bought the Plank, he had to sell a classic car he had an affinity for to afford it…again, it was something he was willing to pay a good deal more for than I thought it was worth. I conversed with him a lot and even got to the point of negotiating a bit for his other Magie…and I actually did buy a few cards from him. Certainly and interesting guy. If you're reading this, Yo Adrian.

Are you sure you aren't thinking about Nelson (g_vezina_c55 )? He was selling a classic car to get a plank (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=147104).

I don't recall Adrian ever going for a Plank.

Faulty memory strikes again. I think you are correct.

Adrian was a piece of work, however, and I did do a deal with him…wasn't a great one, but wasn't his fault.

A few years ago there was a commercial where a guy bought a painting at an auction and then turned around and put the painting up for sale in the same auction. THAT reminded me of Adrian.

Shocker!!!

Personally I do not have a whole lot of respect for someone who pays dramatically more than something is worth...makes no sense to me...just seems dumb!

Did Adrian overpay because he was a serious collector, or because he was obsessive and compulsive? He struck me as someone who could not control his own life. And every card he paid top dollar for he bailed out of a short time later.

I guess this way he could call it a "no reserve" auction, and still bail out if it looked like he wasn't getting a good price.
