[QUOTE=pokerplyr80;1523009]Jake, you have to admit some of your responses are out there. And I do think you should stop the comments on BST listings. I will admit I have been guilty of that before too but have stopped.


Yeah, i sure hope others follow that when i post b/s/t items so i assume your comment is made for those people too...

you can talk about 'other threads' all you want but its obvious on this thread about who is being ridiculous, you obviously knew i was joking......heck there were threads already about talking about outing a 1952 Mantle...since the other poster seems to like to comment about other threads, i wonder why he didnt read that one which i already expressed clear views about how you can't out a huge card....i guess that thread was ridiculous as well...

By the way there are many threads where people have said i was very helpful to them and also comments saying i made very useful posts....you cant simply just argue on a thread and say 'he says ridiculous things'

It does appear that your sarcasm was lost on a couple of people this time but I got it. That's the problem with online posts I guess. Sarcasm and tone can be hard to detect, even though it seemed obvious in this case.

I mention the b/s/t comments because they bother some people and I think as a board we all should keep them to a minimum. Although some people invite them by refusing to post prices. That is another practice that I wish we could all agree to ban. No listing a card for sale without a price.

agreed as to comments on b/s/t .here is vintagetopps guy first post to my b/s/t saying i am insulting people..i dont think that was appropriate for b/s/t...first comment after my listing saying i am insulting people.......i think that was a ridiculous post.....and yes i then defend my post.but look at that behavior on b/s/t...if he just is proper he doesnt make any commments like that.....so theres a history there with this guy.....he wasnt going to give me the benefit of the doubt here......just giving full disclosure

by the way i dont think $1700 was that bad a price....its for sale this month in the Heritage Auction.....if card goes for more than $1700 which it is very likely .. i being attacked for offering a good deal on b/s/t

In that case the comment shouldn't have been made, but it was also bad form to add the part about being above people's budget. You and I collect the same stuff and buy and sell here. And other members list pictures of single cards worth more than our entire collection. People will respond if the can afford it and are interested and will ignore it if they can't.

That's what I like about net54. You can have members posting Cobb collections worth a few hundred grand, and others selling 1990 upper deck Ben McDonalds. Something for everyone.

Again its b/s/t, if you can point to something in the ad and start commenting that opens the door for me to then comment on peoples b/s/t posts if i disagree in how its posted? of course not......either we can comment or we cant on b/s/t and..bottom line, his comments on b/s/t shouldnt have been made..and you can see from the other posts in the thread that he isnt exactly unbiased in his comments about being 'confused'..

plus the basgall card should end up being a very good deal..thats the funny part..it may sell for well over $2000 (i rarely see great deals on cards with no price listed)

It's a lose/lose proposition defending either party in this argument...so I'm just gonna say hi art you're probably glad you started this thread.

We do have an "ignore" option on this site. It makes it so you see that Jake posted but only see the post if someone "quotes" it.
