I do get a good laugh from the member that acted like he knew nothing. Then instantly stating posting listings that rival an auction houses in their description.

It's called learning Ben. I have a above average IQ and catch on to things very very fast in you haven't learned by now. PLUS there have been a few members here that I consider good friends now that help me a lot with all types of stuff. Some good people... Some haters... but so goes life.

P.S I have been on here for over a year and a half now.. Imagine what one can learn by reading thread after thread after thread as well as asking the right questions to the right people. There is no substitute for hard work and being hands on.

I have "an" above average iq would be correct!

"an"

Sorry I do not go back and check for spelling errors in 2017 when HBU = How bout you, LMAO = laughing my ass off , and TTYL = Talk to you later....

I have an "average" IQ. I like to think I'm doing my part in helping other smarter folks, beat the curve.

When Reggie Jackson bragged about having an IQ of 160, Mickey Rivers delivered his famous retort: “Out of what? A thousand? You can’t even spell IQ.”

My favorite is when someone (no names) who tries to poke fun a lot and is knowledgeable makes a trade with me and the card I receive is "altered stock" from Psa when submitted. While the majority of people on here kick ass, there are some real "winners" as well

Altered stock usually means it has been pressed or stored in a screw down. If it is a high end card you should at least send them a PM or if you feel the necessity out the person. Selling/trading bad cards without disclosing the problem is never a good thing.

Almost as good as Hollywood Henderson saying of Bradshaw he couldn't spell cat if they spotted him the c and the a.

Probably still can't.

Love it, Steve. Reggie was a great player, but if his IQ was 160, his ego was in another universe. He did have a great gift of making fans invisible, however. I was in the lobby of the hotel the veteran players were staying at during the 1999 All-Star Game festivities in Boston and encountered Jackson. Since I quite fondly remembered his first half performance during the 1969 season (37 HR's at the all-star game break, through about 94 games), I rather ignorantly but very politely asked for his autograph. He instantly rendered me invisible and altogether "not there." The great ones don't have to even acknowledge the presence of or converse with mere mortals, I guess.

Highest regards,

Larry

My brother had a girlfriend that wanted to go on a double date with her friend and the girls new boyfriend. They picked up the girl, then went to pick up the new boyfriend. Yep, the new boyfriend was Reggie. He said they shook hands, left for dinner, and said very little over dinner. Unusual, because my brother does a lot with MLB, he has travelled all over the world promoting MLB in different countries, you would think they would have enough in common to carry a conversation. A few years later my brother was sitting at Angel stadium during a practice, and Reggie was a couple seats away. He said hi to my brother, asked if he was still dating the girl, and nothing else. He remembered the night, but just isn't very conversational, apparently. I guess everyone is wired differently.

But "interference" from 3rd parties, not involved in the sale still flies.

Yes, per the longstanding rules. If the comment is intended in good spirits and doesn't negatively impact the sale. I doubt anyone wants a stale place?
Let's don't make a big deal of it and continue the way it's gone for years. Nothing has changed. Just read the rules and post here if there is something you don't understand and I will be glad to clarify. Overall, it is the intent of one's post that is going to be the issue. If someone games the system it will be dealt with as it always has been. Not sure what else can be said really.

Leon, I know you're trying to be diplomatic and are keeping your cards close to the vest, but can you give us a little more information on what's going on here?
