Randy "rube26105" Ruble passed away several years ago. I did stay in touch with him after I think he got banned from this forum and found out from his son he had passed away. Sadly, as I was looking for his obituary, it seems his son just passed a year or two ago.
Randy had an amazing collection of all sorts of "Stuff" and it is probably all still booby trapped if anyone had thoughts about checking out his collection.

Very sad. Randy was well liked and well respected on these forums from what I remember.

I miss Randy - he had a cryptic way of talking - if memory serves me all lower case - we're both Vietnam vets, so we had something of a bond.
I just got AI to list people I've contacted over the years: see who you remember?
This took about 15 minutes - just imagine how long it would take to alpha the list and remove duplicate DMs.
I moved the list to below - couldn't easily get the list in columns - AI wasn't compatible with the PSA platform? I see computers as having 2 speeds - on and off.
Great list Mike. You have been a pillar here for so long. When I was a lurker for years I would always remember seeing your posts and enthusiasm. Guys like you, and many others, are what makes a forum welcoming and enjoyable.

Conundrum - Loving my unopened baseball card collection....but really like ripping too

If so, whats up. This is my first visit here in years. Recently got back in the hobby a little bit, mostly because I figure it's time to sell some stuff before I'm gone and my kids don't know or care about my cards as much

Me too, Nick….but not on a Tuesday.
I've stolen your "farted in an envelope and mailed it to me" countless times. It's my bread and butter. Welcome back!

Still here
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Here since February 2001. Can't believe twenty-five years have gone by.
I rarely visit or post here.
Been here since 2003, I was just out of law school. I think this is my 3rd account thanks to some of the trigger happy mods we've had over the years. I miss the old boards and unfortunately a lot of the reason why they went to hell was because of those mods banning people for being critical of PSA. Ironic because I feel like now, they let everything go. There used to be some epic late night exchanges.
