Whilst the sea of mediocrity
is anything but a sea of tranquility,
we are pleased to report that, thus far, we have
been able to acquire four major items for
our collection (America's Toughest Want List)

Said items have been bought, paid for and now rest
comfortably in one of the world's preeminent type
card collections.

As for the three musketeers, and assorted other critics,
liars, and would be poets- we hear the sharks are very
hungry. And when the sharks are full, there is an Ivy-League
trained school of piranhas ready to feast on the leftovers.

How about telling us what you bought with pictures, so we can all be impressed?

He will do neither--produce a list of what he purchased nor provide an image. Pretty sure he has not actually bought anything from his list in several years.

I agree with every word of the above!

He's an Ultra Phoney.

Even T206 Wagner reprints, are unaffordable to him, and would be on his list.

More like a clam.

You have really torn it up on ebay in the last 12 months closing out 13 transactions, 14 if you count the 56 Topps Alston PSA 8 you just won. Of the 13 items purchased one came from a seller who sells nothing but altered cards in holders and one from a guy who sells cards he does not own but middle mans deals. That purchase could have been had for 25% less had you had you been more astute and resourceful to pick it off directly from the webpage of the true owner.

You definitely get the leftovers. Will not deny you that.

Bruce,
I love how you call out "liberals" and yet you have contributed thousands of dollars to democrats over the past few years.

Maybe you may want to look in the mirror before you start calling names.

But wait...there is more...I love the internet sometimes...Bruce, answer me this...you were elected to the Board of Directors in 2000 of Symposium Corp. Soon after they changed their name to Cross Media Marketing. I assume that the board stayed the same but cannot confirm that. Soon after that (2002) the company came under fire from the DOJ and FTC. I am not sure if you were named in the Federal suit but I do know that you were named in several suits pertaining to this investigation and defrauding investors.

Guess what one of the chief complaints was?

Telemarketing scams...sounds sort of familiar every time you post on the board asking for stuff, you are starting to sound like the annoying telemarketer who calls during dinner.

I find it funny that your moral high ground seems like a slippery slope.

Whilst I am often selling cards I'd rather throw them away than sell to an arrogant tool. What's his Ebay handle so I can add Mr. Fraudo to my banned bidders list?

To our "sorted fans":

1) We resigned from Symposium's board eight months before the company was
investigated. We resigned because we did not trust the firm's management

2) We gave $2500 to Caroline McCarthy because our biggest client, who had paid us a very substantial amount of money, asked to attend a fund-raiser in his penthouse apartment All our other political donations were made to the Republican Party.

3) As for Want List acquisitions- Bottom of the Ninth put your money where mouth is. We'll put $10,000 tonight in escrow and give you the names and invoices from the dealers we obtained the cards. If we prove correct we get the money, if not you get it. The Bottom of His Ninth's demise would be cause for a national celebration, indeed.

4) Finally, most of you critics have never seen and will never be able to afford most of the items we have. So go play with your "beaters.,"and call it a day.
