Being a $20 post war collecting non lawyer and non dentist that should know his place and not even look at the pre war forum, I will readily admit that I had to look up 'delphic'. Cool word.

He could of used ambiguous or vague as well but Phillip would make note that they simply arent the same word as they are just 'nearly the same' Using those words would change the meaning totally.

Jake, this is driving me crazy, please stop!! And I am NOT the grammar police or anything like that, but to see an attorney with this bad grammar just kills me!! If it is a laziness issue then so be it, but the terminology is "could have" not "could of" for crying out loud!!

Im hooked on phonics and it aint no fun. Seriously I havent posted since 7 hours ago and i see 35 or so posts and i still see a lot of back and forth.

Theres also comments about people being on their knees etc. I dont think the board needs my help to have people 'sucked in' to other conversations.

The name calling really should stop. Who cares if someone collects cards for 20 dollars or $1000 dollars, everyone has a right to their equal opinion.

Not sure why anyone wants to be a net54 bully... its cardboard afterall, sometimes its 75k cardboard, sometimes its free cardboard......just have fun in the hobby and we can all try to improve it.

Still waiting on those texts from Courtney though..

When did people get this idea that since you are entitled to your opinion it makes incorrect information correct. They are two different things. Opinions are not facts nor do they change them. So tired of hearing this stupid illogical statement everywhere I look these days.

Exhausting read!

A giant step forward in cleaning up our hobby would happen if:

1. Dealers would stop accepting bids from anyone with multiple retractions in the past 6 months. If PWCC is sooo worried about the hobby, let's see their policy move much more aggressively to this position. Setting a cutoff at 10, 20, or 30 retractions before banning a bidder is an insincere effort. I understand there are RARE occasions when a bid needs to be retracted but if that's happening more than one a year, I'm not buying it's legit.

2. Bidders would stop bidding on any lot where someone with multiple retractions has bid. This helps nudge dealers to move toward #1. Also, let's be honest. You should be doing this already (I do!), as its very likely these bidders are shills and you're just costing yourself $$$$$ when you put up with this. I personally don't have money to burn.

I know it takes restraint and intestinal fortitude to do these types of things but the alternative is much worse. Sorry, but stuff does not trump all ...

Great words Jeff! (Hey Jeff, hope all is well)
I have retracted a bid before. I confess. But I contacted the seller because I bid on a card I already had out of impulse and realized I already had it. The seller was gracious and understood. I have a hard time imagining that volume of retractions unless there are shenanigans at work.
