Anyways, I think this is the first post Ive done about anything card related online in about 3 years!! Its been a long time!

I think of you when I pull something of him . Awaltz, my little buddie, cept you aren't so little anymore! You make me feel old, lol. Good luck in college, I know you will succeed in whatever you choose to do . Merry Christmas and or Happy Holidays to everyone !

I've been out of the hobby for a long time, but I'm trying to get back in...I really just want to figure out what fair secondary market prices are so I can sell my card collection...there's things I want to buy and bills I need to pay and I have thousands of dollars worth of sportscards sitting around, I've been afraid to sell them since I don't know what fair prices are, I don't want to give people amazing deals or price them too high and not sell anything >>

I have a 1961-62 Fleer Bill Russell that should be back from grading in a week or so. I'm banking on an 8 or 9 for that card. Let me know if you're interested. Peace.

Old threads are the best. I love when something that now seems ridiculous is in the thread, too, like...
“Oh man, I think I overpaid for my new PSA 9 86 Fleer Jordan...I talked him down to $875 but I still think it’s too much. Is someone really going to pay a grand for this card one day down the line?”

CDNuts was great. My favorite was probably Scumbi/PSatan.
Wonder if all those guys left the hobby, are somewhere else, or aren't among us at all anymore. I know Rube, Scoop, Dommy and AlohaET passed.

I remember Rube. He was something else!
Any of you remember (I think it was) a user named Gemmymint or Gemmint (or something like that) getting into arguments constantly with one particular guy who I don't remember? Those threads were epic!
I also remember Fanfango who used to post constantly about Pujols and make everybody mad. It always seemed weird because Pujols is my favorite player, but he would seemingly take it too far.
