Dude, really?
Yes, I do. Your examples I feel are perfect for what is wrong within the business of buying and selling cards.

Rob and Jim are examples of what is wrong with the hobby. Disrespectful, belittling others. Fraternity mentality that yields "that guy" who shows up at his high school reunions and doesn't realize everyone else has grown up. You won't see me throwing the first stone against anyone...

Ha! Rob is what's wrong with the hobby. I have been promoted to what's wrong with humanity!

Uh, OK.......


IMO
Besides "Doyle", and "Broadleaf 460"..... "Rare" and "T206" should never be used in the same sentence.

Frank- 100% agreed! Prediction... Prices may start to come down accross the board for the t206 set. There are just too many of them.

I don't think the T206's prices will come down too much,but wouldn't mind if they did-I still have a long way to go

It is true,lots of other cards that seem way rarer than T206's.

Sincerely,Clayton

Just out of curiousity, during your long duration on the board, who have I ever been disrespectful or belittling to, besides Dorskind and you?

(And don't count me calling Rob an asshat. I only do that when it's true.)
