Matt - Have you ever been out of Cleveland, OH?

I think I've touched a Slab Nerve?

[Al C.risafulli]

Oh, this is still a topic of discussion? I thought this particular dead horse had been beaten beyond recognition.

It's interesting, but for all the threads on 54 where raw card collectors complain about graded card collectors, I cannot recall a single thread where graded card collectors complain about raw card collectors.

For those of you who are upset that there are threads on 54 that discuss graded cards, please allow me to direct you to the following:

1) The thread about Exhibit reprints
2) The thread about cards featuring women
3) Ted's thread about the Cooperstown card show
4) Bob's thread about the new discovery of the Shotwell Ruth card
5) Anthony's thread about card idiosyncracies
6) Andrew's thread requesting info on Tobin lithos
7) Dave Haas' thread about which Net54 members will have tables at the National
8) Jason Carota's thread about his Henry Johnson Confectioners' Everett Scott
9) Richard Simon's thread about 1936 Detroit Tigers stamps
10) David's thread about a raw T206 Lajoie that was recently on eBay
11) Ted's thread about Erik's Philadelphia Caramel book

All 11 of those threads have nothing to do with graded cards, they're all on the front page of this message board, and they all have 10 or fewer posts in them. They're just begging for your knowledgeable contributions.

I guess it's more interesting to complain about posting about graded cards than it is to actually post something about cards, but I figured I'd point out those threads anyway. You know, just in case they're tough to see there, on the main page of this forum.

Al, you missed it again.
No one is complaining about the graded card collectors.
If you're capable of going to the search engine ... Check out the word CROSSOVERS.
Once you do that, you will find three, or four pages on the Crossover slab subject.
The Croosover market subject, is a gift from the newbie grade collectors, which gave us the AUTHENTICATING??? Grader folks.

Maybe the reason why you don't see graded card collectors complain about raw card collectors is that raw collectors know how to grade their own cards, and don't need your so called Authenticators.

Just in case it might have gone over your head ... this forum was originally supposed to be about Vintage cards.

Al, I expected more from you, and you short changed yourself.

This IS how I relax... Thanks guys!

Now that was funny. I hear Coventry IS quite nice this time of year....

Ahhh the crossovers. It's a game alot of folks like to play. And it is a game for flippers/investors etc.

What I am most concerned about is how many times Rob D is going to change his Avatar? You got Wakie up there now (good choice) and at one point recently, there was some sort of stretch dog thing going on.

Michael,

I'm a newbie/flipper of avatars. The current one actually is at the grader's right now being slabbed. When I get it back, I'll flip it, pick another one from my inventory and use that one for a while.

Some people collect avatars; I invest in them.

Hello Matt & Leon,
Funny thing is, I've been to Coventry.
Between American, and United Airlines, I spent over 21 years with the airlines.
Been to England, Amsterdam. Brussels, France, Spain, Nice, Cannes, Australia, Mexico, most of the Caribbean Islands, and even Dallas and Cleveland.

Joe,

Simply put, you're out of my league.

Thankfully.
