in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Hello all! I am new here, but not the newest guy. I am part of the teamsters union (15 years) where senoirity is everything.
Who here has the most seniority on these boards? Maybe top 5 or so.
Just wondering!

    Zardoz!

    Seriously -- there are a handful of us who have been here since the "old" forum, which is 8-9 years ago...
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    That would be Bill Brasky. (Fun fact: He also invented the urinal mint.)

    In unions, usually you can spot the guy with the most seniority by looking for the guy leaning up against a wall doing nothing. image

    Unions are a victim of their own success. Moving on! lol

    Funny thing is that posts are still the same, less the true flame fests. The current "fandango" threads are so tame.

    Our union which is the largest local on the west coast in the Movie and TV industry voted out the 1 2 3 seniority system 15 years ago I believe and now everyone is considered a 1 card with the same seniority. We are all daily hires except for a few positions and we have to line up and get all of our own jobs. We have to perform very hard every day or we won't get hired next time they need someone. Yes many union workers have it made, but there are also a very high percentage of hard working union workers just trying to survive.

    Hi NP

    When someone joined CU does have a certain 'position' of sorts on the food chain....

    IMO - however - the contributions by a board member - helping others - enlightening others on various hobby topics - being a friend - speak far more - and probably will be the true benchmark to how people view a person's 'status' here at CU.

    Tho I've been in the hobby for a bit now - I learn every day - and from everyone - the newbie and the veteran.

    Yeah, I've been here for nearly 8 years now and I'm pretty sure I haven't made one positive contribution to these boards yet! image
    Sometimes I go thru my old pm's and wonder where some of those guys went. There were a lot of kids back then that really made these boards unbearable. People couldn't grade and you really had to watch who you were trading with or you would get hosed. I all but gave them up for a few years. Coming back... albeit there is some childish behavior at times, there is a world of knowledge that can be gained from listening to the members of these boards... both new and old. As long as Bill can stay within his 17 beer limit and we don't have to hear too much from the Phillies/Mets radicals.... this is a pretty fun place to be! Welcom and enjoy! image
