Nothing else to do Leon.
He accepted your apology and "moved on".

Leon made his peace (though questionable if he should have) and moved on and now you post some backhanded comment?

(edited to add: What is with the phrase "smart aleck(s)?")

BTW, I hate strip cards...

When I first started collecting old stuff, that is cards not contemporaneous with me keeping track of baseball as a kid, I too hated strip cards.

But after a few years of collecting, it seemed that some players, if you wanted a card of them, options were limited, and sometimes a strip card or an Exhibit card was the only reasonable choice. Then, after I got a few, I got to where I liked them. They kinda grow on you. Maybe a few of the folks who collect strip cards liked them from day one. But I think for many of us they are an acquired appreciation.

Here are ten strip cards. How about you guys take a stab at identifying them... with some limitations. So that 10 of the board can participate, identify one card only, not a bunch of them. And if you identify a card, maybe mention whether you have any of that issue yourself, and if so which one you most like. Doing this might rerail this thread back onto strip cards. Thanks. Across the top, 1 - 4, middle row 5 - 8, bottom row 9 & 10.

i,too, have grown to love some of the strip cards.
one of my favorites(framed now,of course) is a strip of 8(still uncut) from
515-1 which includes 5 HOFers---baker,grimes,sisler,heilmann,frisch.

Yes, i know there should be 10 to a strip but i'm mighty happy to have the 8 at this point!

best,
