Need interesting insight on 1939 Play Ball

[Dean's Cards]

Nope. The cards are not for sale. do not need or want pricing.

Need insight about the cards in order to write an article. i.e. mistakes, interesting cards, hard to find cards, quirks, things that you my have noticed. No one ever writes very much about this particular set.

I thought made that clear.

Thanks,

Dean

You said you are breaking up a 1939 Play Ball set. That sounds to me like they are for sale. What am I missing?

I agree Barry. That was the reason for my sarcastic reply. He said he's breaking the set next week. He included a link to his site, selling cards. And he's been warned by Leon in the past, not to do this on the main board.

He has been on here for all of 9-10 posts and each time asks for something that will benefit his business.

It belongs elsewhere.


Note: If I have misrepresented anything please correct me and I will change my posts.


Edited to add: I just checked. 9 total posts. A verbal warning. A formal infraction. And now this thread.

Good Grief! I was just looking for some info about 1939 Play Ball to add content to an article. I answer dozens of e-mails with questions like this every week.

It seems like you guys are just looking for something to get offended and mad about....

Dean- your post looks a little self serving, and those kinds of threads shouldn't be on the main page. If you wrote the same exact thing and placed it in the BST section, nobody would have said a word.

And despite the fact that you said you are looking for information for an article, your opening sentence states that Dean's Cards is breaking up a set. If it's not for sale, it sure sounds like it is.

It was context. I edited the original comment and it is gone.

That's better.

Let see if I read it right.

You're breaking a 1939 Play Ball set next week.
You're doing a write up about it in your news letter.
But the 1939 Play Ball's are not for sale.

Sure Deano sure .....

If you think Deano's Brain Picken threads are funny, you should listen to him on your answering machine.

We all know that his forte is not in T's, E's or 1939 Play Ball's ... Let's hope he's better with the vintage 1970's, 1980's and 1990's.

I wonder if he's checked with the post war collectors about any insight into the Shinolas.

OK, guys. I apologize. Last time you guys jumped him, I tried to answer his question, instead. I did answer it, and his response was to wait on selling since myself and another opined that the value was less than he hoped.

Now he is doing it again, and I see that it is intentional. So guys, I'm sorry I defended him.

Dean... post some information for us. Share knowledge, don't make it a one way flow of information. Post occasionally about stuff you're collecting, instead of selling. Then we'll accept you here.

Leon, this might be a situation that shows us why everyone shouldn't be allowed to instantly be a "member". There should be some sort of novice or beginner's level. Maybe.
