Here we are looking through our cards on a Sunday afternoon and waiting for game 4 of the World Series to start. What's the best way of displaying your vintage sets? I always have problems with the graded cards because some of my cards are in PSA holders, some are in SGC holders, and some are ungraded in clear slabs. |

That's funny, Al, because ever since I noticed this morning that Peter apparently is bored and feels the need to "liven things up around here," I've been checking the memorabilia side for the inevitable "Which do you like better: pigskin, horsehide or leather?" post. |

I like displaying my cards with a nice floral arrangement. Of course,for the upcoming holiday season, heavy on the mistletoe and pine cones, with tinsel tastefully sprinkled about. |

Peter- after all that has gone on in the past few weeks, why do you feel this compulsion to start these oddball threads? You said about a week ago that you realized you needed to step back a little, but I feel you really haven't learned anything from the responses you have gotten. What gives? |

I am listening but like to be careful on certain issues. I don't ever want to seem too unkind, however at some point I will step in, especially when something becomes detrimental to the welfare of the board, imho. This issue is quickly approaching that threshold..... |

Hey, guys, cut it out. RC is right. We are just obsessed with Peter's consistent idiocy and we all respond in a juvenile manner. No need to point out Peter's lack of ability to be embarrassed or ability to be affected by negative reinforcement. We are just being borish. And boorish too. |

Isn't mixing a PSA card with an SGC card kind of like mixing an acid with a base? Won't it cause a small explosion? |

I thought everyone color coordinated their slabs. T206 Abstein looks nice in the PSA slab, but I wouldn't consider putting the orange Fiene portrait in a red slab. And a T207 brown background in a black SGC slab? Never! |

Add two cloves of garlic, flour and egg, a pinch of salt and pepper and a lot of wine, they mix better that way, bake at 350 degrees and you get a graded casserole... |

Pete's initial post is not so off. I hear many collectors on this board discuss the aesthetics of the holders, including comparing one company's to another's. I hear collectors picking a grader in part due to the perceived attractiveness of the holders. |

I don't think this was a terrible post. I, personally, like to keep consistency of holders according to the sets. In other words, I like to have all the cards I own in a particular set to be in the same holders |

If the thread originated from someone else, it wouldn't be getting so much flak. I know many people who like to have their collections from only one grader. |

Hey Guys, only two more hours till game time. It's been a long time since we've posted the best right handed first basemen since the Korean War. Let's do it the hard way and only post those with one arm. Posts are welcomed. |

Whoever said this was not a bad topic is absolutely correct...Barry is correct too in that Peter C has put himself on a proverbial shorter leash with regard to types of threads started and responses given...Not sure how much more polite I can be? best regards |

I would like to thank Peter for starting this thread, otherwise I would never have heard (read) the word AssHat! That is simply freaking classic! I love it and can't wait to use it sometime in the near future.. I just have to be sure not to use it around my kids... martyOgelvie nyyankeecards.com |

To answer the question I've found they don't mix well. In my collection the SGC cards taunt the PSA cards telling them they are trimmed or overgraded. The PSA cards respond by calling the SCG holders too fat and tease them about being sent back to ebay Sunday night. |

I'm amazed that so many here have never heard the word 'asshat' before. You guys need to get around on the internet a little bit...that word has been in use for at least 5-6 years. |

lol Dan. I was thinking the same thing. Great word, not really new. When I saw the reaction here I thought maybe my knowing it for quite awhile now made me some kind of internet junkie or freak. But I'm not. Right? Right?? |

I've personally been using that word on Usenet for at least 5 years...I just tend not to swear in this chatroom though because it's not a prevalent practice. Though I did once tell someone to go f... themselves...and that's about as mad as another poster here has ever made me, but I still felt bad about it. |

Dan, don't be fooled by Peter's usual position of posting a smiley and rolling over and showing his belly to avoid abuse. He's about as passive/aggressive as they come. No passive fool would ever insist upon posting the same inane crap over and over even after he's been begged, asked and abused about it. |

I'm with Joe- "disregard" and "disrespect" are the operative words here. No amount of advice has convinced Peter to refrain from all of his unnecessary posting. |
