    Thats right mikilia, fall back on the ole punctuation gig. That's obviously the best you got at this point as there is nothing else you can do to continue on this conversation unless you want to continue to belittle peoples knowledge and background of which you know nothing of. stormtrooper, yes we do. Wait, your were trying to make humor again. mikilia probably was the only one laughing there, isn't that right mikilia?

    Just keep him out of shipping department and it looks like he'll do just fine.

    You mean kind of like you did to everyone on the board in your post? Don't know Wes and use Ricks service. I just think people jump on this thread because nobody cares who he hires.

    Wes Spece hardly needs the likes of anyone on this forum to stand up for him. This is a guy that once traded a 1993 Pat Listach SLU straight up for an 86 Fleer basketball wax case. Son-of-a-gun didn't even know what hit him.

    however, he may require a small foot stool so he can see over the counter.

    I wonder who helped him take out the trash from that huge garbage can of packing peanuts to his left.

    uh no, wiseguy. it appears he liked his childhood hangout so much, that when it came up for sale, he bought it.

    That's for the little people. Plus, too many people are running ad blocking software so the ads won't be seen. I think it's more of a game than it is spam. Where in the world is Wes?

    Shocked to say the least when I read this part of the bio......

    Yes I believe so. You have to cut corners somewhere when you invest, at bare minimum, three to four hundred thousand in converting an old adult video store to a state of the art card shop.

    I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be a board cop. I don't think you did anything wrong and I didn't say you did. I was just commenting, like somebody already had, that this wasn't what I was expecting to see when I clicked on the Spece thread. That's all, I didn't mean anything by it. I said I enjoyed the article. Thanks for posting it and maybe take it down a notch.

    Yes, he usually keeps that alter ego over in the bst area, get with the program!

    The article mentions Rick's dad who was STILL doing shows at least last year. A very nice guy to say the least. I'm sure he hasn't scrolled through card target and seen the same card come up every few weeks for auction, but he loves to let you know how well his son is doing.

    Also, what's up with the band aid on Rick's thumb? Exacto wound?

    When my BST thread and other legitimate ones are being bumped down by people who have 3 or 4 selling threads on the first page, in clear violation of the forum rules, and the moderators do nothing, then yes, I'm going to say something. If that makes me the bad guy, so be it. I've tried posting on the offending thread and was told that was mean and I should contact the poster thru PM. I do that and they don't change their behavior. So I gently bump the BST forum rules thread without naming names, and that makes me an a-hole? Fine, I'll wear that label, but what I WON'T do is sit idly by.

    I just bumped the most recent active Probstein thread that he started. I didn't think the article deserved a new thread.

    Dan I apologize. I honestly thought that since you have been working so hard to police the boards that you wouldn't take offense to the term board cop. I thought you would embrace it and see it as a badge of honor.

    My mistake.
