My Fred Toney Collection/Thanks to the board

I agree with you sir that if someone was simply trying to sell there cards at a higher price that would be bad. I considered selling the toney no trees today because my subing work has dried up a bit lately but it looks like it is picking back up so that will not be needed. While I had my card up momentarily I offered the card for less than I paid for it. I have never sold a card on the board to other members for more than I paid for it at any time.

Hi Tony,

Just to clarify my point (FWIW), I have no problem at all with people making money from selling cards. I am very much a capitalist. If I sold you a card on BST for $200 and you listed it the next day on BST for $400 I would not bat an eyelash or feel there was anything wrong with that.

The personal pet peeve I was referring to was using a post on the main Board to "set up" a BST post later. But as Leon pointed out, this could be perfectly legitimate in some cases - especially to obtain information, even if related to a future sale.

(BTW, I am happy to hear your work is picking up and I wish you the best - this economy has taken its toll on too many people!)

Cheers,
Blair

Yea, I think I was annoyed by that one thread that went something like, hey is that Joe Jax on this T202? Days later, guess what, I'm selling some duplicates of this card on ebay!

I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

What a great collection! I really love the cabinet photo. The background is so cool with all the gentlemen in suits. Definitely a different generation.
I'm sorry to hear someone hassled you for trying to sell something. I find it out of character based on the fine group of hobbyists we have here.
Thanks again for sharing your collection. Thanks to all that posted.
You are the best,
Bill Hedin

Thanks for the kind words and support Bill.
