The Net 54 100

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)

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

[wonkaticket]

[ullmandds]

Is that saddham hussein and ricky martin on the top left?

[Anthony S.]

Exhibits A thru Z as to why I'll never post a photo of myself on this site.

[barrysloate]

John- cool picture. Glad I made the cut!

Bruce- thank you for listing the Federal League pieces in your collection. You might have described them a bit and added a little pizzazz, but I appreciate that you came back and responded.

Yes, Forbes Magazine does have a Fortune 400, and lists are popular. But I have to think that asking people to brag about their collections on this thread somehow would backfire. That's just my gut feeling.

I'm heading out now but later I would be happy to add something about my rare baseball books.

[barrysloate]

That's me in the upper right wearing the feathered hat...how did John know that that is my favorite hat?

[T206DK]

is that Mr. Mint.....he kind of looks like Jerry Garcia in that pic LOL !

seriously though....has anyone ever come forward and identified themselves as being part of " the group" Bruce talks about

[brickyardkennedy]

Well, I know where my next nightmare is coming from.

[19cbb]

Nice hat Barry!

[eiturbe]

Being a newbie I am not sure what to think about all this, but one thing is for sure, that picture made my day, thanks John!!!

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

What happened?

[slidekellyslide]

Who knew T-bob had that much cleavage?

[cfc1909]

I thought Leon weighed more than that...

[E93]

John,
You are too funny. LMAO!

[barrysloate]

There are a few people in the picture I don't recognize: I got Ted Z., Brian Cataquet, Cobb and Edwards, Jeff Lichtman, Rosen, Steve Murray, a very handsome Leon, Joe Orlando, and myself. I don't know the others. Can someone identify them all? That should be worth as good a prize as having a great collection.

Is this a subtle game of "show me yours and I'll show you mine"? I've added 51 important pieces to my collection in the last 10 months, and I've flipped 52 of them. Where's my flippin' award?

Even for insurance purposes? I find that hard to believe.

You've got that backwards, Bruce.

I will be the first in making this #1 nomination. Category: Trying to compensate for smaller things Block or Ban Mr. Dorskind. You have to be the biggest a$$ in the world to come on here and ask all of us for this stuff and for us to out our collections for your entertainment. Yet you refuse to share yours. I am sure it will go into some type of archive for you to make that little idea you were working on. Then you have the Balls to ask one of us to pay you to see your collection. There is not a thing in your collection other than the Garter item that would even interest me to look at. Maybe I am wrong but every time you post it leads nowhere. This is just my BIPOLAR opinion. Have a great day everyone. Reading this tread was amuzing at times yet painful to know it leads where all the others do. NOWHERE!!!

Hal Lewis is one.

[cfc1909]

that is me under you with the giant bald head and sunglasses...

[barrysloate]

Is that Hal to the right of the word "Attitude?"

Dan- how could you leave out "The Airport" episode, where Jerry flies first class and Elaine coach. That is at the very top of my list.

[barrysloate]

Thanks Jim. Who is that between you and Jeff Lichtman? And I guess that is Bob Marquette next to me? We're almost there.

[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?
