I agree completely.

In the opposite, if elmalo would have used his first post to say that KO came off as a well-mannered, even-handed, fair and balanced, congenial and delightful host on MSNBC, I would have suggested a urine test.

Maybe Leon can get KO to host a NET54 dinner at the next National. If he does, I'll promise to keep my pie hole shut.

Any reason to post Matt Foley is a good reason to post Matt Foley.

Has anyone seen Keith's collection? Yesterday, I was listening on local sportstalk radio in the San Francisco area (680), and Tony Bruno said that Keith will land on his feet fine because Keith has a baseball card collection worth more multiple times than Bruno's net worth. So I assume that Bruno has at least had a glimpse of Keith's collection, maybe when they worked together on ESPN many, many years ago.

On a related note, is Keith the biggest personality that is a serious card collector? I've heard that Bill Simmons on ESPN collects, but I think more modern stuff. Obviously Gretzky had that T206 Wagner, but is he a serious collector? I think I read that Charlie Sheen had the Merkle ball at one time also. There are a lot of whales or really rich people who collect, but I'm thinking along the lines of those who are well known in sports or entertainment.

Professor Emeritus of Zeenutology Larry Moe thought Net54ers might enjoy this article from the '70's depicting Keith O, Boy Wonder. Larry is not adept with Net 54's posting mechanism so he asked me to do so. As an aside, imagine someone paying "well over $100" for a '33 Goudey Lajoie. What a dummy!

Trying to stick just to cards here. Look Keith's, any other person's on the board, and even my own political views are really no one else's business on this board. It is just that Keith's views are known to the world because that was/is his job and they are out there for the world to see/hear. But that's why I love jumping on here each day to get away from the garbage in our real world and just enjoy vintage baseball cards. Oh, don't get me wrong, in the real world I like to duke it out on political and religious matters all the time, especially with others who might share Keith's views, but here I love to talk, hear, and see things that pertain only to baseball! I'd love to see Keith's collection on the board. I heard it is spectacular and he is very knowledgable about our hobby's history. I remember years back seeing a bunch of T206 Proofs with no lettering at the bottom and only the little crosses on the borders in an auction. I believe that Keith purchased them. I would welcome him, just as I ask to be welcomed myself, on this board and that is to talk about vintage baseball cards.
Happy Collecting everybody,
Tim

Keith- welcome to the jungle. To all other fellow net54ers, this guy knows t206s well, and that's my pride and joy.
