The lemmings are those that fawn and offer props every time that Tom posts his "finds." If your wish is that I name them, then your wish will go unfulfilled. There's no need to put any of them in a negative light and that was not my intention, nor do I think any less of ANYONE that posts positive comments on these boards even if they post them to people that I choose not to have a great deal of like or respect for. If I was worried about trying to be liked and wished to glorify myself on these boards, I'd definitely take a different approach than I have over the years.
As I've said before, you'll always know where you stand with me. I don't pull punches or blow happy smoke up anyone's butt nor do I ask or expect anyone to do so with regard to anything that I post. I also will not say anything about anyone that I will not say to their face and I will not post untruths about anyone. I don't send PM's behind anyone's back or attempt to hide anything that I post publicly. In the event that I say something that is incorrect or misdirect my comments to the wrong person, I will and do apologize. I've had my share of issues with many here. Many of them are now people that I consider friends. Others I've chosen to ignore.
Just know that if I poop in your corn flakes or you poop in mine, don't expect me to forget it when it comes time to ask me for something that I have that you may want... I'd prefer not to compromise my beliefs for the sake of a few dollars in profit.
Scott, If you have a card I like....Can I purchase it from you? I don't think either one of us has pooped in eachothers corn flakes....well maybe a fart or 2.

I do not approve of your tone, and wish to engage you in turn of the century fisticuffs to settle this matter.
As some of you are not on the other board, I thought I would post my complete response in the referenced thread. The thread was talking about several people and several members, 10-12? had put there thoughts about the people involved, I replied and did the same. Hindsight, perhaps not the smartest move, but I really don't think I was singling Tom out or the like, and I don't feel what I wrote is a cold attack, but it was apparently taken as such, and therefore I apologize to Tom. I will try to be more Sideline Steve in the future.
"I am sure noone cares about my opinion...but of course I am going to share it anyway.
I have dropped Scott notes a couple of times, amazed at his knowledge in sport cards. He has corrected or clearified a few comments I have made, and I didn't feel like I was being attacked.
I have purchased and sold cards to Bill 4-5 times with no problem.
Ron Burgundy, or Tom, whatever, has acted like a D a couple times to me, but perhaps that is just his online persona. I imagine more of the problem, although problem is a strong word, is he comes across wrong at times in messages. He does seem to have very good knowledge on vintage cards.

I'm with burgandy... I get "tired" of my own stuff rather quickly too... I love finding the rare gem.. but find once I have it I am on to the next.. I may fall back in love with something I already owned and get it back.. it is all part of the fun
Also agree. Big deal. Theres always room to upgrade in this hobby. Maybe he doesnt want a fish eye. I want 50-50 and Ill buy 55-45 but Its not the same. Always looking for the next is all. It's the hobby.
You guys are funny. Of course its not a problem that Tom sold this card or any other card he owns. The fact that he took a little lose is not a concern for any of us, or likely Tom for that matter.
The thread has had 10 pages of postings relating to a card, I followed up and posted the public sale information of that card. If any of you are trying to make it more then that, I am not sure were we are suppose to be taking this.

Agreed no big deal, personally I was the poster child for posting new pickups and pumping my fist about how excited I was and blah blah blah only to sell it a few months down the road, I havnt bought a card in over a year because I know I wont hang on to it and more than likely take a loss getting rid of it .
