Bruce, it was a post you made back on 10-09-2008 (on the old forum). Archive isn't a person it is simply the title of every single post brought over from the old forum.

Hope this helps

Guess one of the Bruces made that post without the other Bruce knowing about it.

Was cracking up reading Bruce admonishing himself. Reminded me of a dog chasing its tail. Good stuff Bruce. Thanks for more laughs.

[HRBAKER]

Yep, that Archive is sinister fellow with a great sense of irony.

[ctownboy]

That Archive guy is a scary fellow.

I mean, looking back at some of his posts on different subjects, he seems to KNOW exactly what I was thinking and articulates those thoughts JUST like I would have.

Eerie.

I also really like the idea of Bruce "taking further action" and suing himself.

I agree with you guys. You just can't make this stuff up. This is classic.

What is the frequency, Archive?

I just want to point out that one Donald J Trump also proudly claims he was a star student at the Wharton school.

Asked and answered.

I would follow up with the seller, then Ebay and Paypal. If you used a credit card through Paypal, add them in the loop.

The card you received is not as described. That alone should get you a refund. You may need to have another grading company look at it (but don't crack it out of the slab) and give you an opinion. I suggest SGC.

What else do you want the board to do? Over a year ago Dan Mckee outed these cards as fakes. You didn't know and bought one. If you haven't paid, don't. If you have, take the steps necessary to get your money back.

In the meantime, don't rain on our parade when we have the best shot ever of laughing at all the Dorskinds.

By the way, while Bruce will probably not comment on this thread again, he is following it closely.

He just sent me a PM wishing me a Merry Christmas (honest to God) and told me that the publicity from this has allowed him to close on three new deals.


He says that he intends on having the last laugh.

[HRBAKER]

He should hope to be misquoted more often. Good for him, and good for us too. A little levity is a good thing.

[Jim VB]

I just hope he sent a thank you and an apology to Archive.

Not sure which of the Bruces you spoke with but they emailed me yesterday at 1:05 PST telling me "While your posting away, we are bought five cards from our want list and closed three substantial business deals."

Looks like one of the Bruces has some more deals to close if he wants to catch up.

Oh and this Bruce did not wish me a Merry Christmas but told me to go play in the fires.

I guess English grammar and usage were never emphasized at Ivy League schools.

[Rob D.]

That's defined as "writing style" by at least one Wharton grad, Jim.

[Sean_C]

Two things come to mind:

The serious one:
1). If Bruce is able to complete that many deals in that short a period of time, then the items on his want list really must not be that tough to find after all.

The funny one
2). I didn't realize that paying the pizza delivery person, ordering something on Amazon, and paying the credit card, cable, and electric bill qualified as business deals. If that's the case, then by the time Christmas is over with, I'll be ready to start my own Mergers and Acquisitions firm.


Getting back on topic, Baker's response on the matter only helps to shovel more dirt on his nearly worthless reputation.

[Q


Rob -yesterday we received an inquiry from a collector who we don't and who to the best of our knowledge has never posted.

He mentioned your Wanted a copy of... in his e-mail. We spoke on the phone, and we were able to obtain two Negro League items for a very modest cost.

Just wanted to say thank you..and let you that for $25,000 (cash or certified check)- we will send you individual photos of all items in our collection valued at $1000 or more. Each item will be photographed next to our want list, and we'll even throw in the Archive Post

As point of interest, Rob D has been more than happy to sell us items including two in 2009. So we assume that money is far more important
to him that he states.

Happy Holidays .... Rob

When shall we call the photographer?

Let's see ... it's allegedly America's Toughest Want List. Yet seemingly whenever Bruce's name is mentioned anywhere on the board, the publicity leads to multiple offers to acquire "important" cards he needs. At this rate he'll own every baseball card in existence by the next presidential election. Well, at least the important ones.

Bruce certainly deserves the last laugh. Lord knows he's provided enough of them to the folks on this board.

Wait ... hear that? He just closed another megadeal.

[barrysloate]

Take all that is said with a very large grain of salt.

Has anyone ever seen any of these cards show up in post. i mean if the cards are so Rare I sure as hell would post a pic or 2 every now and then for us to see. I haven't ever seen any of those cards and would love to. Hell I post pics of POS cards because I like them and maybe someone else will also.

In the Group's defense they do own some very nice cards. I don't know about all of these current deals but their collection is high quality and real. I have seen many of their cards before. I don't believe ALL of the (current) deals they say they make though. Just call me "Mr.Skeptical"....best regards

I still kick myself for not saving the original post, so forgive me for going from memory here. Once, on the old board, Bruce explained that the reason he couldn't post scans of his numerous, rare, ultra-high-grade, important (OK, those last six words are my embellishment) acquisitions was because his scanner couldn't "communicate" with Net54's "software."

Like many of his posts, it made little to no sense. But like many of his posts, it was funny in its absurdity. That's why I remember it.

That's the problem with multiple scanners, you get your wires crossed.

I don't think there is any dispute that Bruce has a pretty nice collection. I've seen the video, and have seen a couple of things that are pretty incredible (Boston Garter uncut strip, for example.)

I'm also unsure that he closes 3 new deals every time someone makes fun of him.

I also know that he is a Luddite when it comes to 21st century technology. A few years ago he wanted a copy of something I have, but needed me to print it and mail it because he hadn't mastered downloading electronic images. I know on the rare occasion he has offered something for the board to look at, he would forward it to Leon and have him post it.

Given the depth of his understanding on the "Archive" issue, I'm OK that he doesn't try to post images.

Adam,

I think it would be wise if you, Jeff, and the other board attorneys stayed out of this for the time being. In the upcoming case of "Dorskind v. Dorskind", it's very likely that Archive will be named as an unindicted co-conspirator.

If that happens, all three (Dorskind, Dorskind, and Archive) will need legal representation and you could easily find yourself across the table from your own alter-ego.

This could get really messy.
