Well, Adam had a job, is a father, pays taxes and his only time in court wasn't as a criminal defendant or witness in a grand jury testifying about his criminal activities -- this puts him ahead of half the senior members of Net 54.

I just wanted to thank all those who have spun this thread back to an enjoyable read.

Most of us are good guys after all, but some of those comments made me want to take another shower this month.

Pardon me as I'm just a casual observer. What, exactly, is the purpose of posting this? Do you feel better now?

This entire thread proves one point if nothing else. I think you girls need a few days off. May you all have a relaxing, happy July 4th weekend!

I've had to deal with Adam on Facebook. Not always enjoyable there either. He always complains about how no dealer wants to purchase his Mel Ott autograph.

But if you read the court decision, and I did.. he comes off pretty well. So, read the darned doc please

It was just a slice of life about him, nothing more, nothing less

Not sure where Moraine is these days, perhaps he is rich and retired in Greenwich CT, but three things pop out to me as amusing 10 years later..

1. Sammy Sosa GU cleats where probably not the best investment.
2. Amusing that he thought he could retire young and rich in CT with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
3. He thought he was “investing”. For the amount he had already spent/invested on his collection in 2005, I imagine many of us could have invested that balance over the past 10 years in the market or other investment vehicles, and today would be sitting on a larger nest egg now then what his collection would have/has appreciated into. He failed to understand the simple concept of the cost of money.

…and if he is stupid rich now because if his collection, I take it all back.

I see that Adam was just as charming a few years after he was banned from this board:
