Just wondering what everyone thinks of their new fall line. pretty tight, imo. Imperial snapbacks for all!

Stone193 · August 21, 2014 9:54PM

Is there a bit of a poetic "allusion" here?

miklia · August 21, 2014 11:08PM

I am appalled at the notion that anything is not above board here. Snowboarding is a sport!

BostonAmericans · August 21, 2014 11:26PM

And here I am thinking that an OT thread about FASC would refer to

FavreFan1971 · August 21, 2014 11:46PM

Holy cow, that is my nephew modeling some of the clothes.

ndleo · August 21, 2014 11:47PM

Is Anthony still part of the board? I PM'd him a few days ago when the thread went poof and haven't heard back.

miklia · August 22, 2014 12:00AM

ndleo, I begged everyone to keep things On Topic, and now look what's happened. This is certainly not the thread to talk about potential improprieties of PSA-contracted employees or banned board members. On. Topic.

Favre, is that a pimp cane in that photo?

ndleo · August 22, 2014 12:03AM

OK. I forgot the first rule of FASC club is not to talk about FASC club. My bad.

FavreFan1971 · August 22, 2014 12:07AM

That is no Pimp cane. It is pure galvanized conduit from his neighbor's basement.

ndleo · August 22, 2014 12:09AM

Changed my mind. Probably not a good idea to do it that way.

miklia · August 22, 2014 12:55AM

if I was making a pimp cane, I wouldn't choose any other material.

self-censorship is the most delicious type.

Serious question. What is with disappearing threads on this board? The thread in question raised serious discussion about a important section of the hobby and whether or not certain actions show impropriety. Sure there were some brats on both sides of the argument, but it's an Internet message board not an academic dissertation. How difficult is it to require member's who have an opinion about a person or company to provide their full name? Answer: it's not. If you don't want negative comments about (I don't know...) business associates then (well.. I don't know...) don't provide an open forum? Maybe?

Stone193 · August 22, 2014 1:33AM

<< above board here. Snowboarding is a sport! >>

All Aboard!

Anthony(I think the poster's name in that thread), hyperbole in his case aside, did raise some serious and legitimate concerns. In my opinion at least. I would have went with less hyperbole and melodrama and gotten my point across in a different fashion. Regardless, there are still questions out there, again, only my opinion.

sbfinley, Victor, please stay ON TOPIC about snowboarding. If you want to discuss how a company might unwittingly give someone monopoly power, thus creating a massive conflict of interest and then bury any attempts to address it responsibly when issues arise, thus exacerbating said issue, take it down the street. Please, we're here to talk Roast Beef Airs.

Rule 3) Anyone attacking another poster or making disparaging personal remarks will no longer be allowed to post. No more warnings.

Rule 4) Anyone making libelous remarks concerning any individual, any company, or any other entity will no longer be allowed to post. No more warnings.

Rule 5) If you have nothing to contribute to a thread or the forum as a whole, then do not post. Snide remarks and other negative comments will result in your losing your ability to post. No more warnings.

I'm neither an advocate nor an apologist for CU.

However, I've been here long enough to discern a difference between cogent, relevant remarks and what I read as truculent argumentative comments that appeared to just inflame a discussion.

The OP, David, deserved better than what he got IMO. There was a rush to judgement which extended to both David and Steve Hart.

I'm sure anyone here would expect a modicum of deference in their defense rather than a summarily executed electronic lynching. This is my opinion.

VictorLaszlo · August 22, 2014 1:51AM

Rule 1) This is not a public forum. This is a PSA forum paid for by PSA and provided for PSA customers to exchange information regarding trading cards and/or memorabilia. We make the rules; this is not a democracy.

That's the most important rule however.

Now that's funny.

One may continue the FASC thread here if they wish.

While I feel that it's always better if cooler heads prevail, I am not for one minute against someone questioning or bringing up something that may be questionable or shady to this hobby. Certain things, whether it be good or bad, should be discussed amongst the board and instead of deleting the whole thread, why not just delete certain comments if a certain member gets out of hand? I haven't been around as long as a lot of these guys (or girls), but I can name a few threads off the top of my head that were deleted because of someone's actions, that were actually really good threads if it wasn't for a few hiccups LOL. I didn't even get to read the entire thread in question. Only made it to page 8, but my stance on what happened wouldn't have changed no matter how much I read.
