The only reason that I even commented on this thread is because we have a lot of members that have so much knowledge about this hobby, and there is so much that we can learn about cards/sets from them that it just seems like a waste of time/energy to start a thread over a personality dispute. I mean, no one was being scammed-it's just a difference of opinion. And we all deal with people like that if we sell on Ebay.

You have started approximately 2-3 threads that were not selling something in the last 2+ years. Maybe starting a few more good threads would help the board as much as commenting on this one? I should mention that you are not alone, most members don't start good threads.

thanks for the B'day wishes...and my comment wasn't a total dis on you. It really is more a message to all members that the lifeblood of the forum is good threads. I am always hopeful members will participate. But if they don't then that is their business and not a big deal. We'll just plug along the way we have for the last 13 yrs......It's all good.

Pretty much all non-selling threads I start are complete crap. That doesn't stop me though. I'm like the honey badger of net54 bad threads. Relentless.

Crappy thread starters are not an endangered species on Net54.

Try:
SGC vs. PSA
What's your favorite set?
Why do you collect?
Do you prefer T206 portraits or action poses?
Another fake Wagner?

Any time I open a thread and see a pile of email and PM exchanges, a little of my breakfast comes up.
