The Net 54 100

[drdduet]

I thought it was 1982 Fleer and it was John Littlefield???

[ullmandds]

Then again...if certain collectors were labeled as "experts" in a given area of collecting...questions may go directly to these "experts" and the rest of the board will miss out on adding knowledge...and interesting threads may dwindle to nothing more than recurring t206 debates!

Darren- that's funny. Warren Littlefield was a program director at NBC who believed against the network's wishes that a comic by the name of Jerry Seinfeld was worth supporting even though his pilot tanked. John Littlefield was the pitcher. I have Seinfeld on the brain.

I suspect the "group" started this thread just to get a rise out of us. And it's working as were up over 30 posts in a few hours .

[barrysloate]

It's proceeding at train wreck speed, but in a very orderly manner. It's making all the scheduled stops.

This thread is good entertainment.
See you all at the National in Baltimore.

Now its over 50 posts and no follow up from the Bruce's.
I notice they start a thread and just sits back to watch it derail
As suggested, perhaps that's the intended purpose.

Damn. This will not help my hoard of 1981 Fleer vendor boxes!

This thread offends me, and I'm sure no one wants to offend me, so please stop.

P.S. Don't quote me on that.

Ryan, just for the record if that is your signature line I am deeply, deeply offended.

Archive, be on notice. My lawyers will be contacting you shortly!!

[T206Collector]

I second the notion that the sole purpose of this thread was to self-promote, both for the opportunity to brag about his/their own collection and also to learn about material from other collections that could potentially be acquired.

But I very much enjoy reading the fallout posts.

[Section103]

Mark me down as disappointed. I was hoping to make a batch of popcorn and sit down to watch an epic d*** swinging contest.

I don't have any chance of actually getting a prize, but can I still get a certificate for participating? My young son always gets one of those just for showing up.

I say trophies for everyone!

[David Atkatz]

Bruce are the top 100.

(And then some.)

If you don't believe me, ask Bruce.

From Ronco, The egotists post preventer!

[JasonL]

Bruces posted a suggestion to rank collectors with an understood purpose to praise folks for their ability to spend money, and also that we get some use out of knowing whom to go to on certain issues should we have questions. Yet, he offered no such information himself, no one else has either, and no one has voted yet on the rankings, except to say that he takes all the spots...this place is fun!

The characterization I have of Bruce in my head is that of General Custer as portrayed in Night at the Museum 2, diligently counting his strokes as he brushes his golden locks while everyone else in the group debates the degree to which his declared plan is ludicrous.

I love this Board.

Also, I vote for myself as occupying #88 on the list, simply because the number 8 is my favorite number, so why not have two?

Whilst some of you enjoy attacking our ideas, the fact is that in this country, there are more than 100,000 rankings ranging from the Forbes 400 to most
charitable people (Town and Country) to listings of top coin collectors.
As for the feeling of elitist from those who don't have world class collections, we think that is a poor excuse for a bad self image. People read lists in many areas where they have no talent or access. Why is the 10 hottest bachelors one of the best selling issues of People or why is the Fobes 400 issue outsell every other issue. Certainly these magazines are not only to models and billionaires.

We also would like to point out a few lies- Greg from Bottom of the Ninth
once again speaks from his rear. We would like to bet $10,000 for every image that we have shared above three. For that matter we can't recall any images that Greg has shared.

We did not post to acquire items. We have plenty of sources and have added 50 important items to our collection in the past 10 months.

We have no problem listing some of our Federal League Material- albeit it is too large (in some cases) to scan

1. Federal League Ball in original box
2. Federal League Tobacco tin
3. Letter from one of two pitchers to throw a no hitter in the Federal League
4. Two Federal League Pennants
5. Ultra rare post card from the Chicago Feds
6. Four large team advertising photos
7. Programs from six of the nine Federal League team
8. Tickets from six of the nine Federal League team
9. 10 issues of Baseball Magazine with Federal League stories
10. 2 ultra rare pieces of Federal League Sheet Music
11. 15 CJ 1915 cards (all PSA 8)
12. Misc. E cards with Federal League players (10)

I'm sure your mother taught you to share, Bruce.

What happened?
