America's Toughest Want List Smoking Hot

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.

I agree - we should get back to the cards.
In the august words of Rodney King:
"Was I speeding officer?"

[carrigansghost]

I never attended college, but I can spot the incorrect grammar in line one.
Bruce, you shared a great image of one of your cards with me, feed the masses and throw them a bone.

Rawn

The California wild fires must be getting close because there must be smoke in your eyes- i.e. your facts on our 2009 E-Bay purchases are dead wrong.

Looks like I had all my facts straight.
1. I did state that I was unsure of whether you remained on the board.
2. You were named in several lawsuits concerning that corp. Public record.
3. You did give $2000 to a Democrat. In all fairness, I will then let the public know that the only other public donation that you gave to a politician was a $250.
4. I have no doubt you have a superior collection. I have always said so. I am a beater collector but have held just as many high end cards as you probably have over the years. Including many of the ones that reside in your current collection.
5. I have no idea what your talking about with ebay.
6. I find it disgusting that you would joke about the wildfires. This is causing more problems for people, the environment, and CA's economy at a time when people are still trying to come together.

PS Please do not PM me again.

How about more from Bruce....

In the past Bruce has sent me scathing emails about my profession. I am an elementary school teacher. Mostly saying that I was too stupid to do any "real work" and calling me and my profession some very unflattering names. (Several board members have seen these emails and were appalled).

Bruce...another question...Is Glenn Dorskind of NY your brother? I see you and him are friends on facebook (I am not a friend of Bruce's for the record) and I see that you have a few other connections (Google is wonderful). It turns out that Glenn is a teacher. Should I forward your emails to him? I wonder what he would think. Maybe he already knows and accepts your views.

Joshua

PS Just did a bit of digging...Glenn really is Bruce's brother. I am now completely shocked that he would call me out for teaching.

Did you have anything to do with those wildfires in CA? Last time you emailed me you stated you were going to burn down my house and office so I can watch my family die.

I am quite confident my analysis of your ebay activity is 100% accurate. Along with all of the other lies you tell are you going to now deny your ebay id is aliandmatt?

Most of us here don't collect for bragging rights either.

What does your high level, Ivy League trained, macro mind, use as the definition of "sorted"?

Would it be possible that a high brow such as yourself would not know that the word you were looking for is "sordid."

What a moron you are. My 15 year old daughter has a more extensive vocabulary than you do, and she uses it and spells it correctly.

Please stop trying to act smarter than you are. It's visible to all.

Bruce, where did you get your money from?

Was it Albert Dorskind? (grandfather maybe? Uncle?)...a (sshhh) Hollywood liberal insider. He was an interesting man who created much of Hollywood as we know it today. Oh, lived in California and spent much of his time trying to make this state better. The one you just trashed and made fun of.

Too bad his relative has none of his qualities.

I am wondering if you understand now that just because you have money, an ivy league education, and a nice baseball card collection does not make you better than us. It does not give you the right to call us (or what we value) mediocre. It does not give you the right to trample our views or call us names. All it gives you is a sense of entitlement that you seem to have wasted. Maybe you should sell off some of your collection and use the money to help your fellow man. Make some friends instead of insulting your peers (yes, peers, you may not think so but we are), and finding some love in this world. I will stop posting for now but will come back with a vengeance if you insist on being an ass.

By the way, like I have said in the past, I have no problems with your collection or trying to find pieces for it but I would suggest that you limit your posts to just your wantlist. I have a feeling you would still get the cards you want and probably at better prices.

Please, take my advice.

Ummmmmmm....Joshua this is America and the last time i checked freedom of speech is still in the constitution so Bruce has a right to speak his mind.

Not that anyone is trying to lay down the law or anything, but since you brought it up: This is a privately moderated forum so I'm pretty sure we'll all welcome to tell this guy to STFU, and god bless America.

Master Bruce Dorkskin is a Dunderhead, with grand illusions of grandeur.

It is obviouse that he's a lonely guy, a state of his own creation.

In order not to be totally lonely, he tries to create the "We Illusion."

If he didn't stimulate dissension on the board, he wouldn't be getting any attention from anyone.

He sent me an I M, that I have not read, nor do I have any intention of reading. ... Why should I, if I'm to do battle _ _ _ BRING ME GIANTS ... not an unranked amateur.

It's sad, that this is the only attention that Master Bruce gets.

No matter whether or not you are who you say you are, you're a dick.

Who the Hell are you to attack the members of this forum declaring for them to go "play with your beaters"? For the most part, a lot of collectors collect to have the card, not have the condition.

Frankly, I do not think that anyone takes you as serious as you take yourself and/or gives two shits about you and your ridiculous statements.

[Il Padrino]

Seems that Mr. Yankeefan51 has thin skin as well.

I received this PM last evening that solidifies my thoughts:
-------------------------------------------------------
"From: Yankeefan51

Subj: Bowled over by your analysis.

We do hope that you have finished "playing with your beater," and that the results have not ruined too many of your "A" and PSA 1 graded cards

Secondly, you might consider acquiring a book called
"Elements of Style." Perhaps, next time you attempt to communicate, you will realize that your sentence should read "no one takes you as seriously as you take yourself."

As for your remark about elite positioning, we were wondering if you were available to clean the toilets
in our office. You can begin work after you have quenched your thirst drinking from the soiled bowls.

Clearly someone does give a "s---" "

-------------------------------------------------------

Clearly, you are a conceited prick with no social skills.

Good day.

This jackass should be banned. How long are we collectively going to let this go on? This guy comes on here and insults everyone, even those who help him by allegedly selling him cards. This is supposed to be a community but when one person clearly gets more enjoyment from coming here to insult people then he does for the purpose of this forum its time for him to leave.

Last week a nice guy got banned from B/S/T because he repeatedly, with good intentions, got in over his head on deals. Yet this guy is allowed to insult for years simply because he has a quality collection and a few more bucks than others?

In the past he has in the minimum sent sexually insulting emails to members, sent insulting put-down emails to members, and posted publicly about how worthless the masses are here, all while diddling his raisins in a corner with a smile on his pumpkin face (we already know he isn't interested in women).

I am guilty myself of commenting on this humpty dumpty too many times and for that I apologize to the community. I know I have no weight here either but I certainly didn't start coming here to read this guys nonsense. Friendly jabbing is one thing but this guy is a bad egg.

I don't care what kind of collection he has, its time for him to go.

[Adam]

This thread should now be locked. Bruce stated above that he was successful in obtaining some cards from his original posting, so it has served its purpose.

Lets get back to buying, selling, and trading tobacco cards on this part of the board.

[Bamacollection]

I have never had a single dealing with Bruce and surely will not ever. But, I believe some of the masses are through with their dip in the "sea." I hope they will soon voice their opinions. Controversy is good entertainment, But an individual how is nothing more than abrasive, insulting, & threatening really should be examined by the moderators. This thread was started with an unwarranted stab at 95% of the members of this community, myself included, and the counter attacks keep coming. Leon, Peter C. also claimed to have an exclusive collection, annoyed most members, and went off on tangent threads...where is he, again? Why the silence? If Bruce has sent the hate emails some here have mentioned, why is he allowed to still have a pressence on the board? I believe if he wished my home to burn or my children to die, I would be compelled to do more than email him or post a thread with my concerns. Just a thought...

[Comiskey]

I am really getting over this guy. I love to check the BST, but every time I have looked recently it's this thread on the top. If I was selling something right now I would be pretty pissed. Let's just move on from this thread, PLEASE!
