No more images from Old School

First, let me apologize. I wasn't aware that my posting of the images each week was spamming. Since not a single person ever bids on the photos, I figured I was just getting an opportunity to share the images and show them off and talk about what I'm into with sports enthusiasts. Generally, things were great. The same guys would chime in about how much they liked certain images. Some would ask where I get them...very innocent stuff...and fun.
The last two weeks, however, I have met a complete moron and dung-heap (33 goudey) and was informed by a respected writer on here, pandrews, that I was basically a loony and my spam isn't apprecated and I should go away. I have to admit my feelings were hurt a little by that one--not easy to do, by the way--and I think he's right. Spam has no place. Even when sharing the truly remarkable and rare, it's the threads about grading specials, fast turnarounds, and eBay shipping charges that people want.
Please email me at oldschool.images@yahoo.com if you ever have any questions or would like to see "what's new" at Old School.
Thanks for putting up with my annoying spam posts. It wasn't intentional.
I'm just glad that pandrews and a hard-nosed guy named Grote-15 showed me the error of my ways. I apologize especially to them. Great guys.

I think you will find that there are a lot of people on here who enjoyed those posts and did not find them to be useless clutter like we normally associate with spam. Instead you were sharing a passion of yours and we got to benefit by being transported back in time to what many of us probably consider the "good old days"
I have learned that no matter what you say or do there are always those with a dissenting opinion. I guess it is what makes the world go around.

Agreed! I love looking at your pix. It brings back memories of my younger years when I had an innocent look at sports.

As for spam, it never crossed my mind. You can think what you will--it seems people who have never met me have made some pretty strong assertions, but using dgf & oldschool is a way of the regular people who enjoy the photos recognizing the thread content--nothing more. To suggest it is ego fulfillment is silly. I am not actually named "frazier".
I sincerely thought--(I was wrong or pre-mature), that I would spark interest NOT in purchasing the photos, but in how collectible the actual FILM is. I stopped collecting baseball cards for the most part and moved into the next natural stage of collecting for me which is original images. In cards, I always like the image the best. Corners, centering, etc. are always nice, but it has always been about the content and quality of the actual picture on the card for me, personally. Original images are TRUE 1 of 1's and I like how special it is looking at a crisp, colorful photo of a player that the player himself has never seen--or anybody besides the photographer for that matter. It's just a cool thing.
<< <i>No offense, dude, but you seem really starved for positive affirmation. >>
If by "positive affirmation" you are referring to a blow job, you are correct. Besides that, I'm O.K. for now.
<< <i>Christ DGF could never get the links to work right >>
You got that right! That's hilarious. I feel like my Dad with his VCR. I just can't link up sometimes. Someone helped me out last time. I was, apparently, signed in and on a page that won't work as a link. Thank God for Jordan! He has actually been helping me spam and he, too, should be put in his place by pandrews.
Pandrews, for closure, my step mother is schitzophrenic and has been in a mental hospital for six years and my Grandmother died of the same mental illness. Being "looney" actually happens and it's tragic. Your flippant use of that term is disgusting. Now, blow job; that's a fantastic command of the language right there!
dgf, old school images, and now "Positive Affirmation Man!" or PAM. Hereafter I require that all who know me refer to me as PAM...
I figure if Sting can get his friends to call him Sting, I can do just about anything.
Thanks again everyone and we'll see you on down the road.

Why people continue to get so up in arms about something as innocuous as this is beyond me (and you know you are).
I haven't bought any of them, but I always enjoy looking at the newest crop of photos.
Shocking (not really) the same clowns who always start crap are the ones running their yaps here (again, you know who you are).
DGF-
Please keep posting and sharing your photos.
<< <i>Why people continue to get so up in arms about something as innocuous as this is beyond me (and you know you are). >>
have you read any of his posts?.. seems that he is the one getting all "up in arms" and going looney..
<< <i>Shocking (not really) the same clowns who always start crap are the ones running their yaps here (again, you know who you are). >>
come on now axtell, you've got a thread in your honor on the sports forum right now titled "Just another thread ruined by Axtell. One of many.".. and you're calling other people troublemakers?
dgf started the trouble last night with his whining about nobody buying his pictures and calling out the Brett Butler collector who was kind enough to compliment him..
<< <i>have you read any of his posts?.. seems that he is the one getting all "up in arms" and going looney..

So why do you care that he wants to sell some nice, original images? Look, its a free country, you aren't being FORCED to open any threads...if you see his authoring any threads, ignore em. How difficult is that?
<< <i>dgf started the trouble last night with his whining about nobody buying his pictures and calling out the Brett Butler collector who was kind enough to compliment him.. >>
Again, why do you care? Why do you feel the need to turn everything into a steel cage death match? Those long lost dreams of UFC fighting coming to light again?
Just leave well enough alone.
Keep posting the pics!!
That's funny coming from the queen of the flamethrowers herself, who bickers back and forth with any number of other posters at any given time on the Sports Forum board. And I think it's absolutely hilarious how Axhole the Troll comes on over here to this board to post only on these particular threads. What a coincidence, huh?
Get in your MiniCooper and put-put on back to the Sports Forum, clown, and spew your bile there. WP & Stown are making you look foolish over there.

Why not put the images on an imageevent.com or similar web site, and then have that website on your sig line? That way anyone that wants to can check on your new stuff anytime, as well as see the old.

I don't want to get in the middle of this.
Somewhere in the middle is the truth - that's life.
But your generalization is not fair with respect to Pandrews - quite over the top IMO. He's nobody's dummy and has a pretty clear view on the issues that happen on this forum.
I like Phil - my opinions of his pics is irrevelevant - my take? The general concensus is that they appreciate his posts of pics - and IMO, he should continue to post them.
I just think his sense of irony may have gone over a few heads and then, perhaps, everyone has over-reacted.

I think you're wrong DR.
Pandrews is more of a "reactor" than "instigator" - I have never seen him go after anyone unprovoked.
If you have a reference please post it - otherwise - your assertion is moot.
This whole thing actually started on another thread.

Frankly, I was surprised that dgf took the time to write that long post where he essentially made himself out to be almost a martyr. It seemed to be a bit self-serving, IMO. My posts on that Carter thread were mainly in reference to the usefulness (or lack thereof) of reserve auctions, the PSA 10 84 Donruss Carter RC that ended without a winning bidder and Paypal. Next thing I know I'm being called an old fart, lol!

<< <i>Stone you may have missed the post pandrews made above in this page with my original message quoted. You call this guy a beacon of reason. I used to think you were. >>
I did read it.
If you are talking about his assertion of Phil's mental status? That, like Phil's posts, was taken by myself as an example of his irony.
I won't get into characterizations about Pandrews or DGF - I don't DGF well enough.
DGF, from what I understand, is one of the best at spotting high quality cards and has now branched out.
He has, I believe, very passionate feelings about collecting - I respect his POV.
I think they can handle this without any of us resorting to name calling.
So, if my compass is a bit off tonite, as you say - I can only say - we can support both of these gentlemen without any pejorative characterizations.

Either way I really enjoy dgf's photos and your opinions, but I can't believe anything this guy has said here on this thread shows him to be someone who's opinion I'd value.

I'm pretty sure Pandrews took it personal when you seem to referring to him as a dumbass?
mike
<< <i>pandrews has nothing better to do with his time than bait people on a baseball card message board on a saturday night. >>
Nope. Wrong you are. Pandrews just calls them like he sees them - he's a good guy, and your comments regarding him are inapropriate.

True enough, but what fun would the Internet be without prejorative characterizations? Look at the sports talk forum-- you can't go 5 posts in there without someone calling someone else a 'dope'.
Anyway, I agree with what Phil said about reserve auctions. They're for weenies. And I don't think it's one in ten that ends up garnering a higher hammer price-- by virtue of some 'bidding frenzy'-- then you would get by just starting the min. bid at the lowest price you'll take for the card.

<< <i>The general concensus is that they appreciate his posts of pics - and IMO, he should continue to post them.

Agreed, on both counts.
I was not looking for apologies - to be honest.
I was just stating it would be nice to keep this a clean argument - and Boo is correct - the sports talk can get a bit dicey.
But, to be frank - this is a different forum.
You're a good guy and altho I am defending Pandrews - I'm pretty sure he would be the first to say - he's no saint. And has, like all of us, said stuff that would better be left off the table.
I agree - I would like Phil to continue posting his pics.
I believe that Arny said it best - the pics were a combination of pride and spam to a degree - whether intended or not.
But, DGF is a friend here - and a little spam amongst friends is a good thing.

DGF,
After you typed this, it all made sense. Mental health issues run in your family, and like your relatives, you are a loon.
That's fine. There are a lot of insane people in this world, so your family is odd, but whatever.
Just don't spam your photos on the main forum anymore.

i like Phil.. i think he is crazier than a dodo bird, but i like him and enjoy his pictures.. that doesnt mean 90% of his threads are not spam, because they are..
<< <i>I just think his sense of irony may have gone over a few heads and then, perhaps, everyone has over-reacted. >>
it went over my head because im not on the same weirdo wavelength as him..
again, his posts here sounded like just a ridiculous rant about nothing substantial, in particular him being upset about someone not bidding on his auctions..
