Mark hasn't been on here for a week now. I'm hoping all is well and that he is only on vacation.

He posted on CAC forum yesterday and was active at 4am today so maybe just a break from here.

I have been in communication with him over the last few weeks. I think he's okay.

Mr. Feld is one of the most honest, straight-shooting, intellectually rigorous and helpful people on many numismatic forums and I hope his health is good too.
As others have said Mr. Feld is as honest as they come and always helpful on this forum. I too hope that he is okay and hope to see him posting here again soon.

Thanks for starting this thread, @gumby1234. I was just reading the thread on the surprising Walker auction results at Heritage the other night and thought about @MFeld.
I’ve probably hit “agree” on more of his posts than all other members combined. I can’t think of any better compliment.

I am a huge Mark Feld fan. He has been a great advisor and friend to me. I always wish him well.

@MFeld Hey, Mark. Are you okay? Several members of your fan club are worried about you.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

He saved my life at Winter Long Beach, I passed out in the restroom from the ezest fumes. One of the biggest crackout dealers on the west coast was in action. Mark Feld dragged me out by the feet into fresh air, LOVE YOU MAN!
"Mr. Feld is one of the most honest, straight-shooting, intellectually rigorous and helpful people on many numismatic forums and I hope his health is good too."
If a single post out of the tens of thousands written on this forum were to be as close to 100% agreed upon by all the members here, it would have to be this one.
(And a way to confirm that is an accurate assessment is to check the "Like" the comment received.)
I was just thinking the same thing about Hydrant (where is he) and so I just now found out he was banned back in June.
Huh, must've been one of those CAC threads turned political.
Maybe posting some parking lot finds will draw him out.
Perhaps, but imo the most effective way to summon Mfeld is to use a big word incorrectly, or make a severe grammatical error in one's post

Mark has always been an incredible mentor. Hoping all is ok with him.

I would say Heritage is lucky to have him as an employee.
Many of you remember that Mark was banned from CU for years. During that time I was a customer of his (he was an independent dealer then) and he would email me directly, responding to questions and comments from my posts here. I received much good input and advice through his direct emails. And believe me, I was not a big-spender.
He was active at 11:15am on CAC forum. Again, maybe just a break from here.

Thank you for the very kind thoughts and words.
I've just been taking a posting break, which I plan to resume for a while, after this message.
But before I do so, @DeplorableDan, you omitted a period at the end of the sentence in your post (copied below).

Mark Feld* of Heritage Auctions*Unless otherwise noted, my posts here represent my personal opinions.
Enjoy your break, but don’t be gone too long- we miss your insight!
One of the good guys on here for sure.
Edited because I also forgot a period in my original post!
Mark, Laura, and Tradedollarnut to name just three whose opinions I pay attention to.
Glad to see your ok @MFeld 😀

Boss Feld picks grammar peeves appropriately, ignores many. Don’t screw the logic up, though. (Please, forgive me for having ended the sentence with a preposition.)
Well when I take a week off no one notices! That’s probably for the best in my case!
This is like when I don't go to Chipotle for a few days they call and make sure I'm still alive.
I can hardly last a day without visiting this forum. Glad you're OK MFeld.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
When the people that half the time don’t agree with someone still like the person it say something good about them.
Mark, how’s the grammar on that sentence?
Enjoy your break, Mark!
Glad to see you’re alright.
Mark! Thanks for letting everybody know that you are ok.
Dan knew what he was doing with his omission. It worked, he drew you in, or out?
He comes flying back in normal fashion! Lol

Not to go political, but Mark could be "speaker of the house", with his simple logic and diplomacy. I liked CoinGuy1 just the same.

I know what you mean. It's a constant struggle for me to stop ending my sentences with a proposition. See what I mean? I just ended the sentence before last with a ***********.
If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

Grammar errors? My ACT skills will now finally come in handy.
Mark; grammar police sergeant. Is always ready. To enforce and defend, perchance: grammar.
Skills unrivaled his kind, nefarious, opulent, help, does, not, go unnoticed by us He will always correct you're grammar; perchance.
I can only imagine the look on my English teacher's face if they saw that...

Between cooking and cleaning across the street and before your first day behind the scene prepositions come out of the blue.
EDIT- looks like nobody got this. 5 prepositional phrases.

He could drain the, ah hem. How about those Cowboys!
Hyperbole and exaggeration draw him out like a trout to a spinner.
