Greg's dribble:

"I never made excuses for selling the card to Wayne. I gave you my reason and it is one that I still stand behind."

Who the hell is saying that you made excuses to Wayne?

Can't you get anything right?

Simply stated, you omitted to tell Wayne the TRUTH about the card.

Keep repeating your attempt at a smoke screen.
You're beginning to sound like Bush.
Everything is Honky Dory in Iraq.
Why, Baghdad is just like Mayberry.

I love it! Just for that you get a card whether you want one or not.

Joe,

First of all say anything you want but please do not compare me to Bush. You are right, though. I failed to inform Wayne that there are some collectors who post on a vintage card forum who have deemed themselves more qualified than any of the professional graders. They felt that based on a scan this card is altered.

For that I am going to drop down and give you 100 push ups.

Will this puny thread ever be worthy of the Old Judge Proof one? I am unimpressed.

Unless someone has something new to add (I'm assuming that the 3 grading companies aren't going to pipe up), can we wind this down?

See you all again next April for the biannual E95 Cobb battle.

Joe P-

Why do you have to bring politics into this? If Kerry gets in we all should be praying for this country. I wonder how many times he would change his mind on this controversial Cobb?

So Greg, you mean you provided the "before" scan to each of the grading companies prior to their slabbings of the card? If not, then you probably should drop this - we had an advantage.

Bill, you are right - nothing new here. I officially promise not to open this thread again; however, you are probably right - when Greg attempts to slip the card back into the market in a few months, and it shows up again on ebay, yes, I'll post.

My apologies.
That was nasty of me.

I can understand the preference of being looked at as slightly tainted better than a comparison to Alfred E. Neumann.

Tell us.

Are you going to give us four more years of the Cobb?

Will it be more of the same with a few more added Graders of Evil?

Who will be the next dealer or collector/stock marketeer liberated by the Cobb?

Is Ty the WMD that we've been looking for?

Is There Anyone Out There That's Accountable?

Don't think in this instance that the results would have been any different were the grading companies to have a scan. Graders reject cards based on their experience, knowledge and education. Unless there is yet ANOTHER thing you know that I am not aware of, submissions generally are not accompanied by photos or scans of the cards submitted. Unlike you, the graders actually have the ability to look at a card confirm the authenticity of a card and attribute a grade. Thankfully they do not do as you (plural) do and make the assessment based on a personal vendetta.

And yes Bill I do believe that this thread has reached the end. I am hurt that you were truly unimpressed. I cannot wait until Scott create yet another controversial issue about me that he can post about.

Would everyone be happy if the card were encapsulated into a PRO holder?

At least then, everyone should realize that the Cobb was questionable. And I'd even be willing to bet that if you stamped "ALTERED" on the back it would receive a higher grade than it has gotten so far.

I was expecting you to beat out Jason.

At least you have a sense of humor.
You're not getting down on your knees and praying are you?

Not a problem Bill.

Joe-

I am praying that we can avoid another possible 4 or 8 years of the financial shambles that ole Cigar boy put us in. I would hate to see the Cobb keep getting flip-flopped into slabs over and over. Also I am afraid we may end up with laws allowing Cobb and Ruth possibly entering the same slab! Still yet, I would hate to see Cobb have to leave his slab for good because of tax hikes. Vote Bush another 4 years and we can see him off to the National to fight for his rights to be in a slab. Vote kerry and see him be pulled out to ultimately be attacked over and over or be destroyed.

Please don't be eating anything that wasn't meant for human consumption. I very well might have gotten Yogi mixed up with BooBoo (Dale).

Yogi and Dale were father and son and I even think they were related.

Yes, they were father and son, and even related. However, more importantly, as Dale once explained to a reporter, their "similarities were different." The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

This card regardless of the alteration ( seemingly non-integrity violating if "rolled out" ) is a 2. If it were in a 2 holder by all three plastic hounds this would be a non issue because whether in a holder or not it is a GOOD conditioned card.This is a true case of buy the card,not the plastic. It's not like the alteration commanded a new 6 holder on this ugly thing.

Greg-

There seems to be an imposter using my "Basilone" User ID that I use on the other hobby boards (CU,SGC,etc.) and I've had Bill delete the post. This is my first post to the Network 54 boards. I believe the imposter has used the names of a couple other hobbyists as well. Anyways...although I have not posted here before...I do read this board to educate myself in regards to pre-war issues.

Joe P- Yes...Sgt. John Basilone is my 3rd cousin. My great grandfather and his father were brothers.

Best-

John Basilone (the real one)
