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.

-Ryan

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!!

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.

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)


Bruce Dorskind
America's Toughest Want List

[Ladder7]

You talk about your Programs in the singular, but yourself in the pleural. Man, Im gonna miss you when you're gone.

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

What happened?

[slidekellyslide]

Who knew T-bob had that much cleavage?

[danc]

I find lists of this sort tacky and most lists are created by outside sources who may have an idea of what someone has (Forbes, etc.), to blatantly tell fellow collectors you have the best collection of some sort...why? Most great collectors want to keep it hidden and of course they will be overlooked because of privacy issues.

How about 100 Greatest Seinfeld episodes instead? (Top ten are...1) The Contest 2) The Soup Nazi 3) The Chinese Restaurant 4) The Pothole 5) the Dinner Party 6) The Chicken Roaster 7) The Parking Garage 8) The Marine Bioligist 9) The Puffy Shirt 10) The Pen.

Plus I have always wanted to have something labeled as "The Greatest" in the SMR and have thought about being the one who must have the best 1981Topps Phillies McDonald's (or is it Burger King set).

Also, did Fleer issue vending boxes early on?
