He used to post all the time, but I've not seen him in months! Anybody know?

    He hasn't posted since he hit 9999 - at least not under that handle.

    I can't believe he got banned. He was fully against TPG's, but he never pushed the envelope here on the forum.

    I haven't read any posts, by anyone, that sound remotely like Dorkkarl. (if he changed his handle at 10K)



    I kinda miss his point of viewimage

    You can't change your username so he's simply vanished.

    I am certain it must be George Bush's fault.

    Actually my take was that Dorkkarl simply preferred to have the coins in his collection raw -- he seemed to acknowledge that the TPGs set a standard for the industry that was beneficial.

    He's taken breaks before, though this one is longer than the others.

    DK, if you're reading this, c'mon back! Always enjoyed your posts.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I PM'd him some time ago and didn't get a response. C'mon, Karl! You can come back... image

    A couple of years ago when I was a newbie lurker and a recent returnee to collecting, I wasn't sure what to make of DK's posts, but I quickly realized he was one of the more knowledgabe and thought provoking members on the board. Although there are some great board members here (too many to name), I miss Karl's posts and hope he comes back or is back under a different name.

    Dorkkarl:

    More is discussed here than plastic...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Hey, Dorkkarl! Good to see you, now stick around! This is the second time I've asked in this thread! image

    DK -- you have been gone so long many raw coins have been slabbed! Some have been treated with MS 70. Some have been dipped. To me it makes green label holders worth more but you might disagree. image

    If you want to continue your quest you need to tell people they should buy what the like and throw away the plastic...

    As a newbie who only interacted with him briefly before his mysterious disappearance I must confess to missing his (her? image) paraphrased Occam's Razor quote and magnificent monotony re: raw coins and the collector:investor dichotomy.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.
