An Open Letter to the Forum - Re: Bruce Dorskin (suspended)

[wonkaticket]

Short of threatening emails, hollow lawsuit threats and an ego that would choke a horse, I can safely say Bruce has never really shared that much on this board.

As for this loose term tossed around “museum quality” having a family and friends that have been involved with the Smithsonian for over 30+ years that doesn’t really mean anything. I remember being shown the American History’s display of baseball cards at the age of 14 and thinking wow my stuff is nicer than what they have. Just because it’s left to a museum doesn’t make it valuable they will take almost anything. Museums also very rarely purchase anything if they really were after this stuff on a buying level REA would be a lot tougher. Real museums aren’t after baseball cards…most museums have the same problem more stuff than they can show to the public, and stuff way more valuable than baseball cards sits in back rooms never to see the light of day.

Want to brag about a museum quality collection? Its simple guys draft a will to any museum leaving your collections they will take them. Then you too have a museum quality collection.

What he has done on here is talk about a few items he owns ad nauseum and to attend a Net 54 dinner and pull the ol’ dine and dash.

When the dust settled that evening all parties where there and offering “how much do we owe ya Leon?” Leon and Wonka said we got it…but then everyone said at the same time “anyone seen Bruce?” LOL

Anytime he gets you down just visualize him as this…works for me and it’s not too far from the truth.



P.S. Sort of like where's Waldo can you find the Vaseline container in the pic?

I'm still trying to figure where the mullet ends and the back hair begins, and more importantly, Why aint the kitty hiding behind the darn couch.

Welcome to the internet. The modern-day, traveling freakshow. At one time, folks paid admission... We get it FREE!

I for one do not intend to leave my collection to a museum. I have left instructions that it be bequeathed to the Human Fund.

Bruce trashed me with one of the funniest things I have heard in awhile. I couldn't get mad as I thought it was an excellent dig. I think he called me a dumb hillbilly or something like that. Anyway, I actually enjoyed the shot even though I was the recipient of it. I can appreciate a good shot now and then. Bruce removed the comment quckly back then but I think Leon also saw it and we both chuckled. Bruce could have left it up, I didn't mind.

I will also back Barry, Bruce has an outstanding collection or at least had one at one time. I imagine he still has it. He has bought stuff over the years from my father.

You can say what you like about him, and speaking as a partnership instead of just himself is interesting, but Bruce has serious memorabilia knowledge and has been in the hobby for years.
