    Dennis Rodman is not even on my list of folks I'd like to meet (or even see).

    My desire to go to Longbeach was just seriously hindered.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I'd sooner get an autograph from Ru Paul than Dennis Rodman. In terms of celebrity stories, I met Edith Massey (Edie the Egg Lady from "Pink Flamingos,)" once.

    << <i>Coin people might feel that it's their divine right to disparage pro sports, sports in general and people who live unorthodox lifestyles but the fact that these autograph sessions draw more buyers to the show in two hours than coins can in fours days speaks volumes.

    Exactly. the Lakers Girls boosted attendance for the last Long Beach show. This is an excellent way for CLCT to cross sell autograph and coin grading and boost attendance at their shows. Basketball stars and football stars (Joe Montana, a SF QB, will also be there) are a great way to cross sell and boost attendance. Maybe some young people will also be spurred to attend and see the coins and gain an interest.

    Lots of crabby old people on this board. Lighten up guys. And just an FYI, the rest of society views coin folks as people living unorthodox lifestyles directed at no one in particular. >>

    I'm actually really impressed with Rodman's capability to bother people on the Forum without even trying- lol. People sure do get worked up about someone they call a "nobody."

    Rodman defender.

    Rodman was asked about NK on the last ep of Celeb Apprentice.

    He didn't do well, defending nor approving of the punk dictator. I read that as he really was over there as Basketball Diplomacy, and he lacks the political bs to talk his way out of a tough question on tv.

    People also forget the Harlem Globetrotters went, too. They were trying to talk the punk down.


    Also, Rodman is a recovering addict.


    If you do see him there, tell him I said that Dr. Drew wants him to be 100% clean 24/7 and stop doing promo parties at clubs.



    And I wouldn't pay for an autograph from anyone. I'm somewhat trying to get off autograph collecting... but I'd love to get Warren Buffett's.

    I grew up in Chicago during the time when Da Bulls were winning every year (except for when Jordan went and played baseball). I didn't like Rodman when he played for other teams, but when he came to Da Bulls I became a huge fan of his. Sure, I didn't like all of his off the court antics, but on the court there was no one that could do his job better. Looks like I might be one of the few forum members to have something autographed by The Worm!!!

    If I was going, no.

    Only two people I would go out of my way to meet, being a hockey guy: Gretzky and Orr. Met Bobby Orr and got an auto last year, now just the Great One left.

    I've always been more interested in meeting political figures, but by no means would I want an auto. I'd rather have a conversation and possibly a picture than an auto.

    sorry folks but IIRC, the Lakers girls nor any other famous person
    Ever visited a country which is developing long range nuclear missiles and proclaimed the ruler of that country to be
    A nice guy! Pro sports or not, celebrity or not, I have little tolerance for seemingly idiotic behavior by people of this ilk.

    Inviting this fellow and I,m assuming paying him as we'll, just does not seem very supportive or patriotic.
    Crowd draw or not!

    Perhaps a comparison between Rodman and Jane Fonda is needed since I'm sure Jane Fonda
    would draw similar criticism. There is point where money should have no say in who or who not to invite
    and I find it incredibly insensitive that he was even considered for invitation.
    Unless, of course, the allegiance to the Lakers transcends patriotism.

    I don't give a rat's a*s about Dennis Rodman.

  • I wouldn't mind getting one but I have no idea what Dennis Rodman is doing signing autographs at a Coin show. I am not sure why so many folks are opposed to paying for autographs....I personally have no problem paying for someones time even if they got famous off of my support via ticket sales. There are not to many of us here who would take 4 or 5 hours out of our day and expect nothing in return.
  • NotSureNotSure Posts: 2,982 ✭✭✭
    If I had any money to wager...lol...I'd wager there was more interest in Rodman at Cheetah's on his b-day, than there will be at Long Beach. Not being 'center stage' is not something he's going to be used to....unless he brings some of the Cheetah girls with him....then you'll see record breaking crowds!! lol Perhaps.......???? I can just see it now, athletic guys in mustard stained shirts ogling Cheetah girls...LOL
    I'll come up with something.

  • << <i>Now way. The guy is a traitor as far as I'm concerned. >>


    What did he do to compromise U.S. interests? Play basketball and take a walk around town with N Korea's president?
    On an hourly basis, your very own US Congress does more to compromise the interests and safety of the American people than Rodman ever will.
    I find it utterly hysterical that people here take Rodman seriously when it comes to North Korea. It's one giant joke. Korea's dictator didn't take it seriously, Obama didn't take it seriously, no official in the US took it seriously. It's a "so what?" kinda thing. I'm not Rodman's biggest fan and I probably won't get his autograph when I attend Long Beach, but gosh... he's not evil lol

    Think about this, and then imagine if he'd done the same with Hitler in 1936.

    I remember Hitler! The United States competed against a Hitler-led Germany in the Olympics.

    Also: the North Korean dictator isn't even remotely close to being as bad as Hitler.

    I can see the case where Rodman praised the punk as a problem.
    Rodman lacks diplomatic speech.

    Comparisons to Fonda aren't the same.
    She praised communism as not so bad.

    That's different. She either is a commie or went beyond bad wording into accidental (?) expression of disdain for our policies.

    KOOL !!! Can't wait to meet him... I remember going to Newport Beach, and every week he would throw a party at his beachfront home. The neighbors hated him, he always got into trouble, but he seems like a "down to earth" & "kickback" type of guy when I met him. I still have his Laker's jersey #46... image

    I thought I would need to clarify...

    Jane Fonda - outspoken antiwar activist
    Rodman - once loud and obnoxious person because of the demons that led him to addiction, but tactful he never was (working onthat since recovery)

    Fonda - being antiwar, somewhat articulate and saying eh communism ain't so bad.
    Rodman - can't get out of his own way saying earlier "nice guy" (a problem I admit), but his efforts were to talk the little punk down. He was on the Celeb Apprentice and got asked again, he got flustered, and didn't really answer. I say because he's not articulate (yet?)nor diplomatic. I think he knew the nice guy thing was a mistake. I definitely don't think he came back with praise for North Korea's system. It was to really to sell the idea that the US wasn't so bad to "lil kim!" (TM) ... He screwed up in what he said, not what he did.

    Fonda - she was antiwar before she left. She knew what she was doing. she knew what she said.



    And no hate for the Harlem Globetrotters, too? They went for the same reason Rodman did, they just knew enough of what not to say.

    I have two autographs: Renee Zellweger and Bill Clinton. I was there when Clinton signed, so I know it's real ... but a total squiggle.

    Rodman was an unbelievable rebounder, and he was great with the Bulls. But I wouldn't buy his signature if he was signing in my living room. image

    Sad, but true. I first saw him at a Sports Card convention in Arlington, TX in 86/87 and he had his own table where he was set up signing an 8x10 glossy of him firing one to homeplate for $5. There were not many takers. OTOH, I arrived early that day for a first 300 entrant shot at both Bob Gibson, and Lou Brock for the same $5.
  • telephoto1telephoto1 Posts: 4,964 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Gibson's worth standing in line for. I have him on a ball and an 8x10, both signed in person. Same with Ozzie.
    I also have a Stan Musial autographed cover commemorating the 25th anniversary of his hitting 5 HR in one day. Also signed in person.
    Add in a Jordan autograph and that's pretty much the extent of my sports autograph collection.

    I liked Rodman for his work as a Bull but that's where my admiration stops. I certainly wouldn't pay significant money for his sig unless it was gong to charity.
    If I were going to LB I'd consider Montana though.
