I humbly disagree with the gentleman above that you're a talented writer, but like him I would also encourage you to focus on the history of your town's connection to professional baseball as opposed to trying to track down cards. |

The great thing about it is many of the elders already documented much of the towns history. My biggest regret is to not have recorded many of our conversations before their passing. I do know one of the main contributors was my elderly neighbor who passed away last year at the age of 98. She was sharp as a tack, and was a huge source of information. Not only about Clemons, but her family history and the history of life in general. It will be hard not seeing her out gardening this spring. Much of what you suggested has been written about. I know her copy of Clemons history has many hand written updates since 1982. Screenshot_20250202_203100_eBay.jpg |

I'll also include a Jerry Mehlisch interview. He has also since passed away last year at age 92. I have multiple hand written letters from multiple people, but I will not show them here for various reasons. This is something his wife Shari won't mind. Jerry actually was born in the same small town of Liberty township (as did my Grandmother) just a few miles outside of Clemons.

Things you don't like or observing your contradictions are not a tangent (posting pics of your mother, which has absolutely nothing to do with this at all, in an attempt to use as some kind of shield from criticism for your self-entitled crap is a tangent though). You chose to make a thread whining that something must be wrong with hobbyists because you didn't get a card you wanted and sought support in identifying which kinds are the problem to the hobby (which means you and only you getting what you want). It is not a lie to highlight where you directly contradict yourself in the transcript, which is in front of all of us. Your fit is quite amusing, but up your prescription and go outside. You not getting a baseball card you wanted is not a problem with the hobby or other people. We'd have 50 tantrums a day on the board if we all behaved like this when we didn't get a card, people often don't get the item they wanted. Tough, move on. Grow up |

For anyone to start a thread criticizing certain kinds of collectors just because a a collector refused his offer for a card is beyond belief.

If it's going to get donated to a small town's historical society, the general public would not care what condition the item is in.

Enlighten us, and point out where I criticized any type of collector, then do the same with how I did so for someone refusing to sell. Reading comprehension goes a long way on a message board. Just to save some time, I did neither of what you accused me of. |

Not one post has been "bullshit" Dang it!! I thought we had a minor breakthrough on "your" is he or isn't he a collector. I knew I should have dialed down the speed a tad bit more. Well, your meltdown has turned this into page 3 vs 1 total page. I can't give you total credit, a few others that have issues reading what they want vs what is said or explained also contributed. Post 6 should have been your first, and last post. Especially since you couldn't comprehend what sell means from post 1, then assume someone would offer just a lower grade card, and be confused why a person wouldn't respond back. So you're tangent is of me posting a picture of my mother? You know I did so because of what I was accused of? I could have said I didn't post because my mom broke her jaw. Do you think that would have been enough proof? Me either! Want to know why? Look at you, and your response now. Another failed attempt to follow along. At this point, I'm no longer surprised by your slow adult comprehension skill set. The issue is you haven't a clue what a contradiction is let alone know when one exists. You keep coming back with false narratives that you think is what was stated. From post 1 to 104 you're still lost, and still driving home things you have applied to what you want it to be not what I stated. I will state this for at least the second time to you directly. Question 1 and 2 had absolutely no corelation between each other. You made that jump on your own. It was quite rude of you to steal the oxygen from your twin brother in the womb! Two peas in a pod!

For someone who criticized everyone else's reading ability, you have clearly not read the room.
When you believe everyone has mistaken what you've said, the problem is usually with what you said. Like I said a while ago. Actually go back and re-read your posts. You have not portrayed what you think you have. And your condescending arrogance doesn't help. If you truly want to get people help you with your mission, being a complete jerk is not an effective method. |

Your mother being unwell has jackshit to do with baseball cards, this transaction, or people criticizing your over the top crap.

Might want to take a look back down memory lane to what you posted, and how irrelevant most of your responses were. Your mind was made, and didn't matter what I said. You even said so multiple times. Problem with your take is it was your opinion and judgment, not what was done on my end. What I've learned from this thread is many artists try to paint their own picture. You're hangup is still,and started at, (I have rights to something that isn't mine.) That's the most asinine assumption you could make. How many times do I need to say the same thing to you?

You mean the transcript that you got wrong from post 1? That transcript? Actually, the funny thing is, you can't get to a fact to save your life. I guess you're one of those alternative fact fellows? You're right, my mom had absolutely nothing to do with it, until I had to prove some asshole with an absurd assumptions about why I didn't post. I was a Karen if memory serves me correctly. You're the only other person that keeps droning on about it. Don't pat yourself on the back, if you think the likes of you have me sitting in my home "stewing " LOL. Your low level entertainment for me. Again, you can't grasp an easily connected point, and keep clutching on to the same rhetoric page after page, post after post. So what have you achieved? I've gotten some pretty good answers from those that chose to answer the initial question. Thanks to all of you that did so! Last edited by Vintage Vern; 02-04-2025 at 04:48 PM. |

Read numbers 27,31,43,48,52,58. That debunks almost every single claim you've been clinging onto. The absolute sad thing is your post 59 has quotes, unfortunately taken out of context to prove a point there's none for. Post 58 provides the truth to that and then #74 kills everything you think you have proven. You're just a sorry lil boy! You can't even read a post, let alone a room.

I know you think you're some special cool kid, but you're really just a sad lil boy. The people you mean you and few others that can't read what was stated, and kept going down the path they wanted it to be vs what it actually is. You're proof of that in spades. Three posters today have proven that what I speak is the truth. Repeat a lie long enough, and you soon believe it. Keep on truckin lil buddy! |

I'm doing fine without your help, but you do kinda make it somewhat easier. Keep pointing out your own idocies is rather amusing. Post 59 look at post 59. What a maroon! I didn't expect you to understand once I pointed you in the right direction. The mental gymnastics of yours is quite amusing! |

"I know you are, but what am I?" and "nuh uh" are also not effective, even though they appear to be your go-to style.

I just go to what is given to me. Your avoidance is also very alarming when called out on your approach of responding. You've been a condescending ass for most of it. Reap what you sow. Stop playing the victim.

1) There's an incredible amount of different cards out there. Even traditional Topps Baseball sets average out to over 700 different cards. 2) The price of cards these days makes collecting all the cards in a set extremely expensive. ![]()

Wow. This thread is amazing. So many comments I wanted to make as I made my way from the start.
I skipped a couple pages because Vern is evidently the reincarnation of the recently departed bigfoot, so it's possible that somebody already said this but : Common cards are by definition "common" = "easy to find". Vern (possibly previously known as bigfoot) none of the players you are looking for fit that definition. Quote:

You were griping and whining about a certain specific set builder and member of this forum declining your offer. Yes I do. Which is why I quoted your exact words. Yes it does. So does short-term memory where you seem to be shall we say "challenged". Given your many ad hominem attacks, most of us would disagree. Quote:

It's baseball cards, it never mattered. If he wasn't complaining he didn't get a card, and I wasn't complaining that his entitlement is ridiculous, you wouldn't be able to join in and complain that we are complaining. You're welcome.

I've already passed on 2 Heilbroner cards the last one sold for under 20 bucks on ebay. Then this guy here on Net54 said he might have something odd, but then said he didn't know if he still had it and then said nothing until now. Screenshot_20250205_033521_Email.jpg Screenshot_20250205_033439_Email.jpg Keep your card!!! People that can't even respond, I wouldn't trust to deliver something anyway.
