Did I miss something..I thought when a member got a little mouth snippy..Someone stepped in and said....By the way Timbers real name is ?????????

Good point Hangman!!!! I have looked in this entire thread, and only 3 people (myself included), have their full name in the thread for the world to see. I don't mind it obviously, but it does seem a little odd....

I just didn't think about the names issue as I know all those who are bickering and posting. I should remind everyone of this part of the public, written rules concerning privacy, which haven't changed in quite some time.


"However, you may remain private on the board; otherwise, as long as your post is not argumentative, controversial, confrontational, accusatorial etc.…For example you can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private. You can not say someone is an imbecile, hard to deal with, gave poor service etc…and remain private on the board. In addition to that if your opinion is that you dislike someone, hate them, can’t stand or don’t like anything about them, and you want to tell the world about it on Net54baseball, then your full name will need to be in your post."

here is the Cy Young from the MD find for comparison- SGC was very hard on some tobacco cards that were pack fresh and that were packed away for many many years

Ask for my money back? I paid them $1800+ and had to pop 50% of the cards. I can't ask them for the money back, I paid for a service and they provided it. It was just a PISS POOR service!

Dan...I had the exact same thing happen to me with some Mutoscopes I had that came from vending. These things looked pratically brand new!! I got them back and ended up getting grades like '4's and '5's. A complete joke! I wound up cracking every single one out and selling them raw. If I had kept them in their holders, I would have gotten torched, as they wouldn't have brought anything, and the buyers would have gotten blazers for peanuts. Something has changed over there - and it hasn't been for the better.

Holy BeJesus! I think I am bleeding. Check the corner of my mouth. A feeding frenzy way cool! I am glad I was able to bring so many people closer together at my expense. See, and you didn't think I had an objective. Any publicity is good publicity?

In closing, I would like to say that several years ago, I found an original T206 find down in the Fells Point area of Baltimore. Loaded with South League players and most of the cards were in great shape!

I sent 600+ cards to SGC and Scott graded most I believe. I didn't have a complaint about a single card. Scott even said to me "WOW" all of those cards and not a complaint. I felt they were graded perfectly and I still have about a dozen of them. 5s 6s and 7s I believe.

Anyway, I actually felt a couple were over graded by 1 grade. The green Cobb was holdered a 5 and I thought it was a 4.

So maybe standards have changed, grades are much tougher, who knows.

I am glad most of you enjoyed a healthy chat.

Jay Miller! Thanks for asking about pops. We had a 90th birthday party for him 2 weeks ago though he actually hits 90 on the 22nd of this month. He was very happy to hear that you asked about him.

Hopefully I will start posting the Old Judges next week.
