The funniest thing to me is that I actually have something on Bruce's list. Would I ever sell to him? Absolutely not. We have a past. After having my choice of profession called into question, being called disgusting/hideous names, and being threatened by Bruce, I will never sell to him. He is just going to say that I will sell it to someone else eventually and then he will buy it at a later time. Maybe, but it will probably cost him more just because it will pass through more hands (maybe not, I have a good couple of decades on Bruce and I am into collecting for the long haul). It is really sad because, honestly, I enjoy helping other collectors out and I know that deep down, Bruce is a collector and has an amazing collection. But it will be at least one card lighter. Sorry.

Joshua

The things that Bruce needs most are not on his want list.

So all you ex-cons, liberal drug users and micro-minds take note...

That is an awful way to talk about Barry! I know he's a little more liberal than most, but I don't think he's ever been convicted of anything. Any drug use was probably confined to youthful indiscretion. I refuse to hold it against him. (Rob D on the other hand, is probably on his own here.)

Barry,

I wouldn't venture a guess as to the two cards that were "purchased." As for the sellers:

I also have an item that Bruce has tried to buy, repeatedly. It's not for sale. In this case, nothing personal against Bruce. It's not for sale to anyone. Once I explained that to him, all bets were, seemingly, off.

As I said before, I don't really dislike Bruce. I just don't like people who try to act smarter than they really are.

I guess I'm the micro-mind (sic), Jim. As soon as I figure out what that means, I'll take offense if it will make Bruce happy.

Bruce is not smart enough to act smarter than he is. A walk down memory lane...http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/ite...-card-col.html

I just re-read the story...I laughed through the whole thing (again). In true fashion, and living up to their penultimate selves, Bruces, double posted a comment after the article. Someone really should take excerpts from this place and put it into a book...Ya' can't make this stuff up!!

Once again Leon, you have missed the point here. Bruce did NOT make a double post. Bruce made one post at 7:52 PM. The other post was made at 7:53 PM, BY THE OTHER BRUCE!


By the way, does anyone know the correct sequence of the following?:

ultimate, penultimate, ????

By the way, I'm clearly assuming that I am one of Bruce's "musketeers". I'm guessing that Rob is another. Is the third one you, Leon? If not, are we holding open auditions?

I believe the word you are looking for is antepenultimate.

Nicely done, Todd. I guess I should have had a prize ready.


And that is the word of the day (for those looking for, maybe, the third best example of a card.)

I have no problem with Bruce's posts. Does he like the attention? Probably. Does it increase viewership on the forum? Again Probably. So what is wrong? I have learned much from this forum and maybe once or twice given back something. I would very much like to see Bruce treat us with a couple of scans of the truly unique cards in his collection. He has sent me one that corresponds with my interests, but as this was sent to me only, I will not post it here.

Good to have you back,

Rawn

Jim- Bruce kindly emailed me during the night and said I was not one of the big three he was referring to. He does call me a liberal all the time, but I have no problem with that.

I guess if the list of sinners includes "ex-cons, liberal drug users and micro-minds", then being just a liberal isn't so bad.

Default Slow Day Here...

Whilst swimming in the sea of mediocrity.
We came upon a penultimate she.
Unbeknownst to me, in truth, she was a he.
Puzzled, I asked “are you a low life musketeer?”
This brought upon him/her a gasp but not a tear.
He/she sighed then replied,
“No, I come from the Isle of Woman.
Where all are ex-cons, liberal drug users and micro minded villains.
And we look for those in kind, equally obtuse,
Akin to Bruce, are keen of the caboose,
And take pleasure making the unwashed rail.
Whilst adding two more, and twisting even more tails.
Alas it is late, landfall is far.
I must hasten now to my favored Kosher Sushi Bar,
SoSueMe.

Well done. That was an excellent summary of Bruce's thread.

They are, decidedly, liberal cards. They have a bias cut, almost always to the left. Many are convicts or ex-cons. Most are gay, but they are not allowed to ask, nor tell. They have incredibly small minds.


(In case this was a serious question, Bruce just left out a word. In the body of his post they said they were all out looking for "high grade" cards.)
