Here ya go Scotty, you claim to be a T206 guru, so show me a Carrigan with a CB back. dare you, it is my one area of study. You post in every thread and know nothing that has not already been brought up. We call that a pretender here where I live.

I have a better one for you: show me where I claimed to be a T206 guru.

If you can do so, I will leave this board and never come back.

If you cannot, I expect you to do the same.

Do we have a deal? and by the way - I believe you when you say that is your one area of study. 'One' being the key word.

Scott for what it's worth I have had several big transactions with Tony A. All of which ended with me getting a great deal and everybody knows I'm a cheap ass. The funny thing is I have yet to deal one for myself. These were done for other guys that couldn't be at the shows. Either way he is great to work with.

Ps. Take it easy on Rawn. He means well and is quite pleasant to talk with when your not on the list.

Andrew, I appreciate your pleasant post. I totally understand that Tony is a great guy. If he were not, you all would be using this thread to pile on him the same way you do when someone complains about Mike Wheat or Kit Young swamping the vintage card section with high-priced BIN's.

But I do understand your reactions - I have defended Mike Wheat and Kit Young in similar threads, because, like you with Tony, I've bought cards from them at very fair prices. Defending your friends is only natural.

In the end, this is only cardboard - I'm not going to go into the weekend with any anger over any of this.

Ok, someone that has a website called T206themonster.com and is a little prick over someone else with a website isn't per se calling themselves a T206 guru, then I stand corrected. I have other collecting areas of study, W.E. Mains baseball bats, Maine baseball history and 1906-1916 Red Sox. I have contributed to this board and I will accept your challenge to leave and will appeciate not having to read anymore of your posts.

If my evidence is not enough, then I invite everyone to reread your posts in the competing threads with your website.............Oh, that's right you deleted them.

You come on here and trash someone that runs a respectable business, then learn that he is a respected member of the collecting and selling community and have a change of heart.

Is there any subject on the board where you do not come off as a blowhard?

Rawn, yes - I said as much previously in this thread.

My apologies to any harm that you feel I have done you or your hobby.

Have a great weekend.

The goal was not to fight with Tim - it was to discuss. The discussion devolved, and since Tim had not been quoting my posts, I thought it best to delete them. I sort of expected him to delete his as well, and at that point the thread could have gone back in a more civil direction.

The thread was hard to kill, simply because there were people who wanted to continually bring it back to life, as you are doing here - board members who wanted to keep that alignment of 'us vs them' going so that we could have a rousing fight and do a lot of name-calling.

I am not an expert at anything, but yes, I do have a website - I enjoy this hobby and the website is an extension of that. I assume you have some sort of website as well, related to things that interest you. Maybe you are an expert at those things - maybe not.

I have no idea why some people decide out of nowhere to hate other in a forum. I have only met two people on card forums that I felt that way about, and both involved threats of bodily harm that were actually quite serious. Nothing came of it - one of the guys is now in prison and the other rarely posts here, but I have nothing against him anymore. He knows who he is, and I would guess he has nothing against me any longer, either.

If you really want to 'win' this discussion and continue to insult me, then knock yourself out. I've been called every name in the book at some point or another.

Again, my apologies for offending you.

So " bring your sweet ass" was just the post of a little punk? Is that not an invite? Then when you learn that I have the means and the attitude to do it, you back off?

Bye, I shall not miss your posts, your game.

You have met more than 2 members of the board.
