Kudos to foodude (Greg)

I'm late with this post but I wanted to publicly thank Greg for his donations to my coin club. I met him at the South Shore CC show in Milwaukee, bought a bunch of '76 proof sets from him (nice price!!) and he gave me some proofs in 2x2s for the YN's in my club. I bought the proof sets for our July meeting. I plan to give each YN in attendance one of the sets - bicentennial coins for the 4th of July, etc., etc.

It was nice meeting Greg and I hope to see him (and many of you) at the Central States show in May.

Thanks again Greg!!

Hi Mike,

I hope the kids like the coins. As I mentioned, I was in a coin club
when I was a kid, and it had a big influence on me. It is one of the key reasons I am still actively involved in coin collecting (and still having fun with it) 30+ years later.

Hope to see you at Central States.

Greg

Relayer: I edited the message to say "coin club".

Which coin where you in?

And more importantly, how did you get out?

Supporting YN's is definitely cool in my book.

Thanks foodude.

Bizzare???

Greg is still a great guy, but yes, weird to see such an old thread.

keyman64

to see this 7 year old thread bumped back to life.

I don't know - r u fellers implying Foodude is no longer a great guy ??

Is he not going to be at the ANA next week ???

Why should the date on a post have any relevance to anyone getting their panties all in a bunch ????

You ever watch a re-run of a TV show thats 40 or 50 years old ?

You ever go back and read a book that you read when you were 20 ?

You ever remissness about your childhood ?

Whats the freakin' malfunction of massive distress and psychosis when a thread is bumped from the past ?

Why not start a new thread if you want to sing someone's praises? When you bump something from the past half the story no longer has any relevance since 7 years has past so we get caught up in the story only to find it happened 7 years ago. Greg was and is a great guy...how about you tell us why you were searching through old threads to tell us how great Greg is instead of just starting your own???

o.k ,

I will spill the beans - I got an open mind ; maybe it is a terrible thing to resurrect an old thread

So I'm looking to contact Foodude , because I'm going to swing a major Franklin deal @ the ANA next week here in Chicago .

I see that I have no p.m history with him and do not have the ability to p.m him without trying to find a post of his with his p.m icon thingy .

I can't use the advanced search function because the primitive PCGS forum program can't handle my ne w Firefox upgrade ;

so at the top of the U.S Coin Forum page , I type in " FOODUDE" and presto - i get links to four threads with Gregs posts in them !

So i p.m. him from the one I bumped , knowing full well it was from 2004 , but figuring he's still a great guy and a pat on the back is deserved .

So there you have it - i spilled my guts and you now know my motives and my reasoning .......feel better ?

I hope so , because it's a pathetically pitiful petty thing to come unglued because you post to an ancient thread before realizing it's not current and then

end up looking/feeling like a fool .

May I suggest next time you see a very old thread from the past - you just ignore it and move on ;

least you streak from your front door in a blanket of sweat , screaming at the top of your lungs that it's " THE END OF THE WORLD"
