ROUND 2...as promised.....

KING KELLOGG

Well, on my last survey (10 collectors you would like to go to a major show with...), almost everybody broke the most primal rule...10 ONLY!!!...

I heard all the lame excuses about how the members wanted to "squeek" just 1 or 2 more names in......ha...

About 50 posts popped up with all kinds of combinations of characters...





Well......................






Tighten your belts one more notch boys............









Things are going to get a little tougher...........







Here's the next question..........









If you could only pick...

ONE, "AND ONLY ONE"..., collector to attend a major show with...

Who would it be ?????



Lots of great guys, but my top pick would be....














Jay Wolt....Qualitycards.....




Who's your pick ???

I've always wanted to meet two people off the forum. One is Carlos Aponte who only lives about 20 miles from me and the other would be Frank Bakka.

I was a little disheartened that I wasn't mentioned in any of the 10 people to deal with on cards, since I sold Dave Read about 300 of the 72 Topps cards for his set, my trading and purchasing with Frank Bakka, Erik Jarvi, Carlos Aponted, emards, etc.

But, I have posted some very stupid posts and I guess that knocks me down and off the list.

Dale

Vargha

I suppose It would be me, otherwise I would end up missing the show.

Machodoc

After playing Tonto to your Lone Ranger at the Nat, I guess my pick would be.... You. Of course being a newbie, I'm handicapped by not really knowing too many of the other guys that well.

PS - Of course, YOU led off the other thread with more than ten yourself, so don't cry in your beer if others throw one or two extra names in the hat!

My wife just read this question and whispered her name in my ear. Of course I laughed right in her face and am still laughing as she knows this is a totally ridiculous thought. Ok slave girl, get back to your chores.

This question is too dam hard, but if I have to pick I would say it's a tie between Cubfan and Zardoz. I didn't meet either of them at the National and really was hoping to. We tend to like a lot of the same cards, and I get along with them really well. KING KELLOGG would make my list too, but since I already met him once he gets booted down to the first alternate list .

Hey I did well! I gave only two names and an alternate!!

By the way KING KELLOGG what are you trying to do to us here, end friendships with these questions?

It's hard to pick just one, but after thinking about it for a while, I would have to say Chris Klinger (ChrisKK here).

King,

Two great posts.Since I am fairly new(this year)and don't have much interaction with the board on cards,I wasn't expecting to see my name come up.Although I have never met Jay Wolt and having only met Dan Markel briefly,I would say almost a tie as far as my idea of their knowledge goes.I guess the edge must go to Dan just because I met him at the luncheon.I would say that either would qualify as experts.I would also give an honorable mention to Mercerfan,as he probably is right up there in that expert catagory.

Mercerfan,

Is this the first time that anybody has used the word honorable in reference to you?


Vic

Vic,

I can only assume that you didn't choose me because you know that my arrival in North Florida is imminent.

BTW, did I ever thank you for the info that you sent me? If not, I apologize. It's been a busy couple of months for me. I look forward to seeing you soon. I'll let you know when I plan to be in the area.

Once agian, Larry posts a real sucko thread.

As I have quite a few pals on this board, I shall look outside of our fraternity here, and choose an outsider.












Charlie Sheen (and yes, he's a collector)

Mr King:

The first time you did this I thought it was an interesting but bad idea. I really don't see the point in running a popularity contest here. There's got to be something a little more creative that you could come up with.

If you really want to know the truth, I would rather spend a majority of the time alone so that I can talk to the dealers I do business with personally. If I can't be alone, I would prefer to spend the day with James listening to him b.i.t.c.h. at PSA about whatever his current issue is with them. Hopefully, I can get some good pictures of PSA representatives rolling their eyes and trying to get away from him in a polite manner. Maybe I can even get a shot of Joe Orlando cowering behind the black curtain waiting for James to go away. At the PSA luncheon, I would get the pleasure of listening to James whine about how his cheesecake was too cheesy or something important like that. During the question and answer session, I am certain that Joe Orlando will have to spend 30 minutes defending why there isn't a Wade Boggs registry special. No, I can't possibly think of a more exciting way to spend a day.

qualitycards

Wow! I made 2 peoples list KING KELLOGG & TIPEM, I may have to show the wife. Even though she thinks this message board is a porn site, since I'm frequenting it so much.
Actually for a wiseass I'm pretty boring, I guess spending half my life sorting cards can do that to you. Many a night I played w/ Topps late '80's vending cases, you know 12,000 cards per to make sets, team sets and to take the stars/rookies from it.
That was like large doses of Prozac or Lithium, very mind numbing.

But KING KELLOGG you had your chance at the National on Thursday, I was planning to be charming, insightful and hilarious. Anything to earn my meal. Ahhhh! it woulda been something.

My answer to the question of who would I take would be my son the Marine, who is leaving Okinowa as we speak and heading to his next location in the Phillipines. We saw him last Xmas, and are hoping to see him this coming Xmas if he has enough leave. He used to love setting up (moreso then I did) at Fort Washington, so he would love to see the action of a major show again. ...jay

zardoz51

I would have chosen you Jay

but Charlie's got the gals tagging along.


Let's see?

BS'ing with Jay, or a bimbo on each arm?


Like I really have to think about this one! hahahahahahaha

boggs301012

FISH on !!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that was funny, dat be the bomb baby! I guess I could get some cheese with that whine. At least every one here knows my name....."james doesnt hide'. Wade Boggs SPECIAL.......hmmmm, Dear Mr. Orlando, a board member brought it to my attention that there ought to be a Wade Boggs special. Please see to it there is Or I will make a thread stating why there should be one. And top it every day and if I do bring it up all the time it will bother SMELLY greatly . So please for his sake don't hide , just make A wade Boggs Special.I know Mr. Orlando you dont know Smelly because he hides not behind curtains but behind a computer in his mothers house in the basement. And if Smelly should ever show up at at lucheon don't let on we know it is him, he will be of course the SMELLY person (I didnt give him the name the kids at his "special" school did) and he will also be pale as a ghost his momma doesnt let him out much from the basement.

James,

I suggested a Wade Boggs special in this thread earlier in the year. I guess it fell on deaf ears. Oh well, keep at it, I'm sure they'll eventually cave and offer you a tremendous deal.

JEB.

ABBAdad

I am pretty new here but I would have to pick my cousin Zardoz. He has taken me under his wing, but then again, what do you expect from family!

A close second would be Fank Bakka, who has been most kind and gracious in several emails to him picking his brain about the 72 set.

I will keep sending a letter each week til J.O. gives in. And after he caves in , it will be 2 letters a week. Not an exact quote but it was in the green mile.

And I recently obtained a PSA 1988 Topps regular card. Very tough card a fellow board member sent a few in I gave him and 1 of his and was nice enuff to share. He recieved 3 9's and only sent in 3. And sold me 2 for cost of the grading!!!

Dave - At least he's not the Greaseman........

FB

Although he didn't make my top 10 list, I' have to pick Andy Montero. He told me that he once spent 1/2 an hour going over a 1970 Topps Seaver with a 10x loupe. This I gotta see! Much more discerning than my rifle through and buy strategy.

Oh... and he got a PSA 10 back on that one!

jackstraw

can we borrow money from our new friend?

Cubfan

Easy one. Thegemmintman.........great sets but even a greater guy.

And, if we could again have that same National at another casino town, that just might be too much fun .

Basilone

I would pick Jay Wolt....he said he would let me borrow his AMEX card.

I couldnt pass it up!

John

Stump

Jay Wolt it is

Hey I have an idea how about Jay for president

Fabfrank

I was a little disheartened that I wasn't mentioned in any of the 10 people to deal with on cards,

Don't feel bad, neither was I and I've dealt with most people on these boards.

With that said my choice is Alohaet. Great guy, honest and a pleasure to communicate with.

ChrisKK

I passed on the last question so I feel an obligation to answer this one.

If I could pick one person….. I couldn’t (lame I know) there are so many collectors that can spot great raw cards. Not having the experience myself I would like to follow and learn from anyone who could point out why one card has a better chance, at a high grade, over another. I have submitted cards that looked like 10’s and they come back as 8’s. I’ve looked at 9’s and my 8’s look better, even under a 20x loop.

Frank… that 1970 Seaver is in my collection now. check out the pic.

JEB … I’m flattered but my approach is to just use a deep wallet. No real science here.

Jay already had his own day. President might go to his head...

<< <i>he said he would let me borrow his AMEX card >>


BASILONE - Your welcome to my expired AMEX card, or my new AMEX account past due bills, your choice!
STUMP - President, ehh! - How about El Presidente! Ruthless dictator that demands you send him cards.
Those '65's would look good back here, safe & sound, back where they belong.
THEBOBS - I forgot all about that. Nice Memory ...jay

Tipem

Mercerfan,

I rest my case


Vic

You Know,

If everyone took someone that took someone else,we could have one helluva show!!!


Did anybody understand that??????????????

BugOnTheRug

#1 pick................Elvis

BOTR

NickM

zardoz - so you want fake b**bs to go with a fake World Series ball?

I'd pick Keith Olbermann.

Nick

smogman

I would pick Lou Costanzo owner of Champion Sports in San Gabriel California.

goodriddance189

id pick superpunk813, just cause we'd probably end up drunk before the show even starts.

mrc32

I think I would pick murcerfan

....after seeing some of his regional collection maybe some of his good taste would rub off on me....or maybe I could pick his pocket when he wasn't looking....

SUPERPUNK813

goodriddance189- Id say that would be a safe bet. Alot of people talk about looking at cards with a 10x loupe but nothing can come close to looking at a card with 12x beer goggles!


Paul.

RayBShotz

Gemint; John Constantino is the only 69 guy who has been banging away at this set (on the registry) as long as I have that I didnt meet at the Nationals this year!
Nice set John.

This only serves to confirm my earlier comment from another thread:

"This is the most touchy-feely henhouse on the Internet."

Buckwheat

Just wondering,................................























Do ugly cards look as great after a few beers as ugly women?? If so, I could come home with an all PSA 3 set,..........................





















and be sick when I wake up the next morning.

PSAtan

I'd pick the man that bayoneted my father in the Nam so I could ask him why he didn't go ahead and gut the rest of the cheap fish.

Wait a minute. Wrong thread. Thought this was the APS (American Psychiatric Society) board. I got like a thousand things going at once.

Disregard,

waittilitstartstosmell

If I had to pick one grown man (other than James) to spend the entire day with, it would have to be King Kellogg (assuming that he let me wear his crown while he held my hand). It would be so pleasant. Just the King and I strolling down the aisles of dealers. We could talk about coming up with new questions for the registry forum all day long. I think it would be a special day for both of us I am sure.


Smelly

MyBigToe

Without a doubt, PSAtan. We all know that you cannot buy anything at shows so at least I would be there with someone who would provide comedy and endless amounts of amusement.

Anyone know if PSAtan is on the ballot for Governor of CA? Might be just what the doctor ordered to get back on track.

Very well. We'll start at the Bostom show Oct. 31...No no no..you can not were my crown, but I will hold your hand. It sounds like you need a little mature guidance.
