    You mean getting banned because you clearly dropped F-Bomb inside of a collector's universe message board thread? I don't know if I could be coward enough to take back something I said just to have a message board remain in my life. That being said, what happened to Stone could never happen to you because he was man enough to leave his post in the thread unedited.

    I never spelled out the F word and you know that. And you constantly metioning cowardlyness and drunkedness...any two-bit psychiatrist knows that usually indicates the personality of someone saying it. You'd be wise to listen to your own sigline quote by Abraham Lincoln.

    I'm a drunkedness. I admit it. I might have cowardlyness but the drunkedness usually takes care of it.

    Every time I try to get out of this thread, they pull me back in. LOL

    Yea, profitable for Pokerstars, FullTilt, etc., and their affiliate commission members, of which you are not one you said. The sad part is that the affiliate commission members who play poker at their affiliate websites, windup gambling back their commission money anyway to the gambling websites either through the accumulative effect of raked poker, or sports betting, or blackjack, etc. The only sharks, the real sharks, are the gambling website owners who eventually windup with all of the money.

    But if/when online poker becomes legalized in the US, and it might happen if Barney Frank gets his way, and some American companies begin offering rake free online poker which I predict they will, then I would agree that for some, online poker will be profitable.

    I realize no one here, especially in this thread is going to quit playing poker anytime soon, but my advice would be if you finally hit on a big tournament, a large amount of money, then take the money and run, and run fast because the odds will catchup to you and you'll windup losing back the winnings and more - I know of no exceptions - none!

    Well...the "usual suspects" might make further derogatory comments towards me and my views on gambling, and that's okay...I've got very thick skin...but if one CU member or even one lurker here can learn from what I've stated, and not get sucked into the addiction of online poker and gambling, then to me it was worth it. Call that anything you want, but to me it helps my recovery from gambling addiction, and hopefully can help others.

    Lee - You are hilarious. You start a "watch me on Pokerstars" gambling thread on a regular basis, and then you knock me for one small comment here on the foolishness of gambling. And I've never interrupted your Pokerstars threads while the tournament is in progress...if I make comments, it'll be after the tournament is over, if I feel like it.

    I've got nothing against you or any gambler or poker player. In fact despite your negative comments about me, I believe you're an interesting poster here and I enjoy your sense of humor. I know you don't like me and that's okay and I couldn't care less. Because the real reason for your dislike, no matter what you say, is that I've called out gambling affiliate hucksters for what they are. Their "agenda" is to make "friends" on various forums, show and tell them through various schemes and deception how "fun and profitable" it is to play online poker, and then entice them into signing up on their affiliate commission programs so the hucksters can earn money off their forum "friends" - If you're not an affiliate commission huckster and you've never offered anyone here to signup on your Pokerstars commission affiliate link, then my comments don't apply to you. But for those who make "friends" in internet forums for a purpose of getting them to signup on their affiliate links...these hucksters aren't looking for friends, they're looking for customers and they view their customers as prey. That's telling it like it is.

    Can't wait to hear your spin on this one Lee, or your spin on why you don't want to comment on it. I don't post on 2+2...never have, never will...that's their domain and I respect that. You wanna keep bringing OT gambling threads to a sports and memorabilia forum, then grow a pair and be prepared to be called out at times. >>

    << <i>stevek- I gotta say that when fandango is your only backer in an argument, things are not looking good for you. >>




    And other than me...Stalin is the only consistent Phillies fan poster over at Sports Talk...you might be right. LOL

    The problem with gambling addiction is...once someone realizes how foolish they've often been to get sucked into it, they basically want to forget about it...often they're embarrassed by it, by the money they lost or the debt they are in...and they want to move on and not discuss it much if at all. I understand that and sometimes in certain situations like this, the pro-gambling crowd outnumbers me...but I accept that and I enjoy the challenge...to me it's worth it.

    You probably think I root against you in the poker tournaments you display here...I know you don't care...but the fact is that I would like to see every gambler I know win. I don't like seeing any gambler lose especially with for example sports betting or blackjack when the gambler is in direct competition with the gambling house. Sadly though the long-run outcome is always the same...just a question of when the gambler goes broke.

    It's not easy getting one up on Lee - he's obviously an intelligent and very clever guy. Probably could make a good living as a comedy writer in Hollywood if he so choosed. He oughta write to Leno or Kimmel and see if some of his comments can get placed on their shows regarding topical events - he'd possibly make a small fortune...but I guess Lee would retort that he couldn't afford the cut in pay from playing online poker.

    Steve you and I have had our battles and you have backed me many a time.

    Yes you have every right to speak your mind yet at the same time some
    people just don't want to hear it (anymore) I specifically stayed away from this thread
    because I too did not want to pile on you. I would rather do that when the Sillies
    freefall from 1st place to 4th in the month of June. image

    In any event, maybe a lil less harping on the dangers of gambling?

    Keeping it real for the record:

    I have NO problem with the anti-gaming proselytizers having their say
    in any venue that allows the same. I, however, do NOT want them flying
    airplanes into casinos or hacking/blowing-up electronic gambling servers.

    I also do NOT want them to get touchy when I tell them it is none of their
    business how I spend/squander MY money.

    Folks who aren't lucky and lose constantly, should probably take the advice
    of the antis. But, it is not my concern whether they do or they don't.

    I'm a drunkedness. I admit it. I might have cowardlyness but the drunkedness usually takes care of it

    Lee, I don't know if you realize it, but drinking can become an addiction, too. Maybe we need another OT thread about that subject as well.

    The Lynn RC is within the parameters for a PSA 9, if the grader doesn't hit you because of the slight tilt.

    I'm thinking 8.5 maximum.

    If ever a card deserved the "half point" grade, this is one. I agree with you, this card is right square between an 8 and a 9, and 8.5 would be right on, IMO, though it seems like half grades are few and far between.

    Without drinking and gambling my life would be fairly boring. One could say I'm probably addicted to both activities, but that doesn't change the fact that I have been a profitable poker player for a while now.

    If I could only figure out a way to be a profitable drinker I'd be all set.

    Agree with CD, I'd try twice before settling for an 8. If you get the 8.5, I'd stay with that, though. If PSA extends the $5 special, it's worth a shot.

    Yes, for the first sub that wouldn't be an issue, but if he decides to re-submit, he won't have the card back in time in all likelihood. PSA has already extended the $5 special from April to June, though,so maybe they'll extend it again.

    Sorry...I was a little slow on the pickup there. However, I will say that I have sent in 7 separate submissions on the $5 special since 4/25 and all but 1 of them are already back. The 7th one was just logged in on Thursday. They definitely seem to be getting through these quickly!

    That is definitely true...the last several $5 specials I sent in popped in several days (though my most recent one has been there about a month now).

    I'm going with a 9, the slight tilt shouldn't effect it.

  • No change that gets a nine. Just did a sub w/ over 150 mini's - the tilt will keep in an 8.5 at best, 8 most likely. Still the card is a good one no matter what the sticker reads.

    I doubt the card will get a .5 grade because of the tilt, I can see it getting a 9 or an 8.

    I know that sounds silly but that is the way it is around here it seems.
