Steve, I think you have Barry Arnold mixed up with Barry Sloate.

I do wish Barry Arnold had not essentially stopped posting, he was one of the most intelligent and reasonable voices here.

You can read 90% of the board without logging in. I only log in to check the B/S/T and occasionally post.

Fair, but I would still bet Barry isn't reading all these heartfelt messages to him.

I too miss Barry’s posts. I can’t believe we have had 35 posts and nobody has mentioned Seinfeld. I remember Barry for correcting poor grammar and for enjoying some good Seinfeld references as well as his knowledge of cards and baseball reference books.

Barry was definitely one of the reasons to be on this forum back in the day. His auction was tops, he somehow always found really interesting stuff. I'm glad to hear he's well.

Wishing you the best for 2023, Mr. Sloate. I join others who miss your hobby knowledge being shared here.

Happy New Year, Barry. I would guess 90% or more of the people that read the board don't post, and more than half have never even signed up.
