Sorry if some of us are spoiling your day, but as the cliché goes, it is what it is.

But can’t we keep that bluntness for the threads about what’s going on and leave the benign threads to their topic??!!

The OP asked a legit question - has anyone ever seen Hall’s whole t206 collection. Not to see if the cards are trimmed or overgraded, but bc it is hands-down the greatest collection of varied T206 cards ever assembled. It’s an amazing feat/collection and, on its own, worthy of discussion, especially considering it is being broken up and sold.

Some of us want to still talk about and enjoy cards. We didn’t do anything wrong! We are angry too, but we still love cards and want to talk about them. Can’t people respect that, and not hijack every thread with anger and all caps and devolve it into the same thing that is already being discussed plenty of places elsewhere?

I mean come on.... I am not trying to minimize anything. I am just asking that we don’t make everything, especially benign card threads, about how much PSA and PWCC suck.

A reasonable point, it just seemed like the thread was already off the rails and I didn't like seeing Chuck attacked when I think his heart's in the right place.

thank you for defending chuck, interpreting doug and basically trying to direct traffic anytime pwcc or PSA has been mentioned the past month. Ryan is correct. Every thread doesn’t have to pertain to the shitshow that’s happening in the hobby. and just because someone might want to talk about cards doesn’t mean he is ignoring what’s going on.

Who responded first to Doug, me or you? So it's fine for you to attack him but not for me to then interpret him. Got it.

Fair enough bad word choice on my part, but my point is I was just responding to what you said and not looking to derail the thread. I thought perhaps you had misinterpreted Doug's point. And if you can point me to any discussion about cards which did not involve the scandal and I tried to make it about the scandal please show me.

I have not seen people trying to “put a positive spin on it and fault people for reacting to it with disgust.” you seem to imply that if someone wants a thread to just talk cards, he’s doing just that.

It could be, but its crystal clear where his head is.

I hear what you're saying, you love cards. That's the difference between us and the reason you'd like me to shut up about PWCC and Brent Mastro.

Unfortunately for you, I won't shut up about it. They cheated on me and I kicked the M effer's OUT.

That's the difference between us. Cards cheated on you and you still love them. Good for you. I effin hate them. You cheat & you're dead to me. Just like baseball cards.... Dead to me. I'm out of love with them.

Now go get brow beat by your wife and hope she doesn't cheat on you too....But you're IN LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE.
