After the sale, there's no reason whatsoever for you to stick around the board.

That is unless you have allowed some meatballs to get the best of you, just when you were so close to having a complete t206 back set?

Lots of luck, and again I say, I hope you don't regret the sell off.

I did enjoy them....putting the complete 15 card basic backs set together was one of the most fun things I have ever done. When I bought the above mentioned Drum in Rosemont, I was stuck in a traffic jam for 90 minutes going home. I literally got a headache because I couldnt stop smiling!!! In fact, although I have already sold off the majority of my cards in the past 48 hours, a big part of me wants to just put this card away and forget about it. The one sure thing I know about myself is that my interest in things is very cyclical. So if I ever DO want to get back into the hobby, I'd at least have one heckuva start!!! I actually may do this if the card doesnt sell by Saturday. Thats my 35th birthday, and its hard to imagine a better gift to myself than this card. If someone does snag it before then, im certain they will get alot of enjoyment out of owning it. And im young enough to be able to easily get back into the hobby from square 1 anyway. Took me just 4 months to complete the 1st goal I set for myself. Might take 4-6 months to repeat if I find the interest in doing so again.

phil...
for accepting my offer.
i am genuinely sorry that your t206 experience was so alienating...
i bought my first in 1964 (at the age of 13), and these cards have been a persistant passion ever since!
you & your raw excitement will be missed in the t206 community, and i sincerely hope that you'll return sometime in the future.
best wishes,
mark
ps- payment will be completed tomorrow am, after i deposit funds.

Chicago, this is a statement that I believe, but I doubt if usernametaken will understand what we're talking about.
We're on the same page.

If the card is meant to stay ... It would be a hell of a re start.

There's only a handfull on this board that understand what we're talking about.

Don't let the meatballs get to you ... that's all they're good at, and they fail whenever they're confronted.
At 79, and from NYC, I've been there a few times.

With, or without the Drum ..... have a Happy Birthday!

Stop your interference. It's getting tiresome.

Interference with what Steve?

Please explain ... If you can?

Members of the jury:
Does anyone know what Steve is talking about?

Oh I forgot ... he's a Real Estate lawyer.

I worked with you guys back in the '60's, but they were good, and on top of their game.

Joe P just got an infraction for his escapades in this thread. Anymore interference in this thread, by anyone, and it will be a suspension from the BST. If you are not buying or selling a card then stay out of it please.

Thanks for the smooth deal as well Art! The Drum remains available until Sunday morning (when I get home from the firehouse). If its not sold by then, it becomes my 35th B-day present to myself!
