Appease me, please....one more time T206/T213/T215?

[FrankWakefield]

Most of the time on this board, I find myself either agreeing with stuff Ted says because I already thought that, or because he's convinced me. On this T213/T215 stuff, in this thread, I find my self satisfied that the thin cards issued down Louisiana way followed by thicker blue captioned cards and then later cards... I don't consider those T206s. He and I can disagree on this without fussing at one another. We can do it without baiting one another with a snide post that adds nothing... I consider Ted a good friend, but I'm not persuaded by what has been set forth. Sometimes, to me, it seems that folks challenge Ted not because they disagree with the point he's making, but because he's Ted. Like they're trying to out-think him because of his prestigious stature in our small collecting world. And several times I've thought Leon started this thread just to get one thread going about cards, he tossed out some scraps to us hungry dogs, and here we are snapping and growling. Peace.

A thread like this is exactly what we all needed. No! not so we can all piss each other off, but because it makes for great debate. I'm guaranteeing the majority of us are coming out of this thread with more knowledge about the type-1 coupons than we did coming into it.

I hope you're right, David, about folks learning about the Coupon and Red Cross cards.

I consider the purpose of this place is to be a forum for knowledge and ideas. And there's some card savvy folks here. It bothers me when the snapping drives a few away for a time.

Frank - I don't know if any of your post was directed at me but I will say the following. The T206 set is my passion and I spend a great deal of time researching all aspects of the issue. If someone posts something regarding the set and my findings differ from theirs I feel it is the best interest of everyone that I offer a different point of view. It's not to be combative or argumentative but put forth all the available information for the board to digest and decide. If someone posts something and I have a differing opinion I am going to post whether they are a board icon or new member. With that said even those with differing opinions should show respect as I believe we are all working towards the same goal of knowledge.
