With you being a businessman, I find it odd that your first attempt to post uses extremely poor punctuation, spelling, structure, etc. It's very hard to read, but yeah, I got through it. And what's with all the caps?
Regardless, I'm sure your post will spur activity of some kind.

I would seriously consider backing up my investment with Global's exemplar service, regardless of affiliations and favoritisms. I would also tell Dimitri that there is no logical reason for avoiding SGC.
that said.............Happy Hunting .

Why doesn't Dmitri collect cards graded by SGC, PRO or Beckett?
While I think it's great that Dmitri or anyone takes the hobby this seriuosly is great for all of us collectors, it personally wouldn'; make one bit of difference to me if anyone crossed their collection from PSA to another company. No one person is bigger than PSA. It's inevitable that somebody will get over emotional and cross. Who cares?
I guess what I'm trying to say is the rumor was a non-issue to begin with. That said, welcome to the boards Dave.
BOTR,
<< <i>Gotta agree with BOTR on this one. That was a very unprofessional post, gradedcardbuyer. I wonder if you even know what your talking about. Doesn't seem like it. Got any used cars for sale? >>
Ouch. His first post is a dagger. You'll fit in well. Welcome Igloo.
<< <i>Gotta agree with BOTR on this one. That was a very unprofessional post, gradedcardbuyer. I wonder if you even know what your talking about. Doesn't seem like it. Got any used cars for sale? >>
I disagree. There was nothing unprofessional about the post. Someone spread some rumors. Gradedcardbuyer came here as a representative of Dmitri Young to dispell the rumors.
(Assuming, of course, that this guy is, indeed, passing on a message from Dmitri.)

Nothing was unprofessional? Maybe not his message, but certainly his presentation.
We all get a little attack on us every once in a while. You need to be a bit more thick skinned. Also, it's through....not thrue.
<< <i>Tough crowd tonite... >>
Not really. He had a GREAT message with a poor delivery. He really doesn't need to be so thick skinned. He should just keep poisting and have some fun with comments he feels are out of line.
<< <i>look igloo i am friends with kevin and we do some buisness together but once again you are out of the loop i do not nor did i ever work for him but however i am not gonna spend my time trying to convince you of anything as i have much better things to do with my time than worry about what you think and stop calling me names because i am not too stupid to sue you for slander >>
You had a great post until you mentioned a slander suit. You can't sue him for his opinion of you.
How'd I get in this thread?

Dave , thanks for popping on the boards and providing some neat info. good luck to dmitre on his collection and I don't blame you for not coming back to the boards.
usually davalillo gets attacked for little to know reason, I guess the natives are looking for someone else.

Also, it's posting...not poisting.
Definitely a tough crowd tonight.

Earlier today I spent a good deal of time on the phone with Mr.Bailey and we laughed about his not being so great with typing and I had a feeling that when I saw this post pop up he was going to get hammered for the caps but not to the point of verbal assault.Sorry,Dave I should have warned you that Caps are evil.Despite the caps turning this un ill inteneded post upside down I can honestly say that Mr.Bailey speaks much better than he types. He shared with me a lot of interesting things that check out.
Dave also bought my Steib RC for Mr.Young and this is how we started talking.I think that if he was blowing smoke over the phone he is a pro at it but again,he says things that match up to a few other folks from this board I spoke to shortly after to confirm that the Steib went to Mr.Young.Don't worry,Dave as the things you requested to be not discussed were not,I don't do that sort of thing but knew it was okay to discuss other things among friends that are brought up on this post.
One example to legitimize who Dave is will be in next months SMR.It will have a full page devoted to a topic that I will let Dave disclose as it's his story to tell.
Dave has no ill intentions here folks.He just wants to come on here and join in on discussion regarding the hobby and his part in it.

Thanks for the insight. I find the topic interesting and knew it would generate conversation..............it just works better if it's readable. My intent was not to bash.
I don't think that's asking too much, is it?
BOTR
I think some posters were less upset about the caps and grammer,
than they were about the lumping of SGC, PRO and Beckett together.
As for the actual content of the post, I found it very informative.
How refreshing to read facts, for a change, instead of the usual rumors.
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
Yeah, but I was gettin' ready to. The guy sounded like he could be related to Dav. You know, third cousin, once removed. Promising never to post again, then coming right back on. Tho' Dav never played the slander card.
The point of this post is to clear the air about Dimitri's collection not being converted from PSA to GAI.I got a call when someone posted that he converted his collection and this was the initial reason why I wanted to post here. Not to fight with anyone, or to get hammered over my lack of ability to type like a pro. All I would like to do is help everyone understand that some of what was said about Dimitri's collection is slightly off from fact. I would have come here sooner but the problem was waiting for the code to open up my user ID.
Over here we have a great relationship with both PSA and GAI and when I'm acting on the behalf of someone who is deeply passionate in the hobby I don't want to make things misunderstood . I am only trying to help manage his collection and Dimitri urged me to come here and address the basic facts on the collection converting before it got out of control
Oh and the Caps thing, I'm really sorry for....My English teacher would be just as disappointed as some may be here.
I look forward to spending time here with everyone if that is still okay.
Regards, David Bailey

Now we know that you buy cards for Mr. Young. Do you collect
cards yourself, and (if so) what do you like to collect?
welcome!

It's not so bad here, a pick here and there but pretty harmless. Keep us in the loop with his collection. (Abeit with the newly-found writing skills).
Cheers, BOTR
here but she went to bed so i am on my own now. i dont collect cards anymore being a dealer that could turn ugly so i collect autoraphed jerseys and photos to hang in my offices and in the game room of my home. jordan jim thorpe the cast of seinfeld ty cobb norm cash joe d etc just stuff i like no theme in particullar
I have been a longtime lurker here. Never wanted to get involved because you guys can be really hard on the new guy. This post was the most recent example of this. Some of you guys went after Dave viciously, when it was not completely warranted. I hope to add something to conversations from time to time and hope that we will be able to treat each other with some mutual respect.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

RIPKEN - I agree! Its great to have an All Star (he made it to the squad in '03) player collect like the rest of us. He collects graded cards and loves to open up packs, that can be said about 99% of us. So he is one of our own

<< <i>If I could get my wife to do that for me, I think my life would be complete. >>
If you could get your wife to do that for you, she would no longer
have a life!
Although I wouldn't blame anyone for trying to talk their wife into
it -- girls always seem to be more smarterer than us guys and better
at grammer and whatnot fer sure, no?
Please realize that responses on this forum are no different than those encountered in everyday life. Think about all the rude (or whatever term you want to use) people you meet everyday......this means at work, on the road, on the phone, in daily business transactions, your neighbors, relatives, and even at home sometimes!
Usually it's the same folks who are 'vicious', which really means a bark without a bite. Don't take it personal and come join the fun, even if it's dysfunctional at times!
BOTR
Welcome to the board! Dont mind the peanut gallery I was also blasted my first post for typing in all caps and am blasted for my grammer frequently. Dont hide your head lots of info and oppurtunities here on the board.
As for Mr Youngs collection I envy you. I've followed his purchases for the last couple of years he is a true collector!!!
If you ever need a question answered feel free GATOR05@CHARTER.NET

Welcome and let me also apologize on behalf of the true collectors who like
to share info on these boards.
Sometimes the kiddies from the BST board escape and post over here with the serious folk.
Thanks for enlightening us, its always interesting to here the habits of others, especially when they can buy whatever they want.
If you have time, rea through some past threads and you will learn the the names of the posters on this board
that actually discuss the hobby. IGNORE THE REST. Works for me.
Loves me some shiny!
