Does anyone know this moron selling on eBay?: Lonewolf0212

[toledo_mudhen]

Pretty sure he's got his panties in a bunch cuz he spent WAY too much $ on that card when he bought it several years ago. I got lots of em also and every time I look at em - I get irritated. Having said that - it is a really nice card.

As an aside - I think Bonds got pretty close on the voting this last year - yes?

Bonds and Clemens are both trending up in their 5th year of eligibility. They are around 54%. With younger voters coming in and older voters coming off they will likely get in but are a couple years off. I'd say maybe their 8th or 9th year of eligibility.

Still waiting for the day when I read one of these threads and realize I'm the moron...

Not today though ��

Maybe I'm missing something here, but the eBay listing now indicates that "the listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available." But when you check the bidding history, several people submitted bids. Very strange.

Should probably inform all the sellers of Pete Rose items with HOF in the title that he is not in the hall of fame either.

It annoys the heck out of me too, but its an extremely common practice and can be found on the N54 boards too. I value my time and my peace of mind way too much to bring it up to a seller in search of an argument.

For the longest time, I honestly thought Hal Chase was a Hall of Famer, and didn't realize he wasn't until someone corrected one of my listings. I don't think that's the case with this guy

He and Roger Maris don't need HOF in the title. Bidders bid as though they are.

Well at least give the guy credit for removing the auction and relisting without the HOF.

I could give two poops about the auction but I do believe none of this crew, Clemens, Bonds, McGwire, AROD etc will ever see the inside of the HOF unless they but a ticket..

McGwire will never get it. I'm a Cooperstown nerd that goes to induction weekend every year and follow the voting trends year after year. Clemens and Bonds are certainly in an interesting category but the way the votes trend compared to others that took 8-10 years (Raines, Rice, etc) I'm guessing they make it. Younger voters seem to be more forgiving of the steroid era. Arod is so poorly viewed you may be right on him as well. He'd be well served to stay involved in the game and win back popularity. He's certainly got time on his hands to change perceptions.

God I hope you're right. I will lose what little respect I have left for the Hall if any of those cheatin' scum ever get in. I will say that at least Mac & Arod have admitted and apologized, not like those other 2 douche bags.

[oldjudge]

First, why would you be looking at Barry Bonds listings? Second, why does this annoy you enough to call someone a moron? Perhaps you need a second hobby to relieve the stress of this hobby.

They have been on the rise, and the Tiffany version even more so.
