"Pop" irritates me.....just a small rant....

[barrysloate]

Do you know I may be the only person left in America who has never had a Coca Cola? I've had a sip of it, and that's it. Never drank a can or glass of the stuff in my life.

Now, if you'd said you'd never had a sip of Fresca, I wouldn't have been surprised....

[barrysloate]

No coke, no pepsi, no ginger ale, no fresca...no nothing (okay, I've had cream soda). But I'm a cold water guy.

Barry, that makes your "pop" 1 of 1.

Jeff,

Can you redistribute some of your Coca-Cola to Barry, please?

When I was growing up in North Carolina in the 50's we referred to a soft drink as "drink".

That's quite an accomplishment! A day rarely goes by that I don't have one.

But I have avoided consuming any adult beverages.

We all know of the distortions in graded pop reports. One way in which the info is manipulated that particularly pisses me off is when a seller will advertise a particular card, like a T206 X common Sovereign in PSA 7 as the highest graded example. They fail to mention that there are six Piedmont 8's and six Sweet Cap 8s, etc. or that there may have been even Sovereign 8s graded before PSA kept track of backs. PSA had graded 10,000s of T206s before they started accounting for backs in their pop reports.

Barry, that explains a lot. See, only after one has had a carbonated soda beverage like Coke can one truly "bring the noise," as it were.

i'm always shocked how some love to use the pop report when they are selling, but when buying, the pop report means nothing!! i don't put much stock in a pop report. my reason is this, to many case crackers in the hobby. just my $0.02. Merry Christmas

You don't like concoctions made of sugar and chemicals? How un-American.

It's something with the flavor, and the carbonation. Can't stomach the stuff.
