Not sure if this was ironic, sardonic or sarcastic, but it was funny. Point to icieh.
Let's not lynch this guy. So what if he spent a ton on a Rose rookie and he obsesses on grading and his command of the mother tongue isn't the best? He is no Chicago.

I, too, agree that there is no reason to crucify this guy. He's nothing like Chicago. He's not really disruptive. He starts no fights. He just has a different angle on collecting than many of the rest of us, but generally speaking he's fine.


One question, however...

Why isn't this thread in the Postwar Forum?

Maybe you could flip those pennies for nickels and then post the nickels on ebay to display them in hopes someone offers you dimes for them.... then you could take the dimes to another company and hope they think they are worth quarters!

the sharks were circling, the smell of blood was in the water, and you had to go and ruin the party.
