Obermann sucks!
Olbermann is a weak angry pathetic man. Calling him a man is giving him the benefit of the doubt. Every time I see the guy speaking he's angry and demented. I can't imagine going through life upset all the time. Very sad.
For the longest time he lived in his mom's basement . If he got his driver's license , that would be new to me . An angry man with mommy issues . He had so much talent but could never get past his bitterness of life . I hope he finds what can bring joy to his life , one day soon .
I would love to know the extent of his collection.

He bought a card off me on ebay and never gave a positive feedback. Dick.
This just shows you the randomness of reality. Obie just stumbles into the collectibles and hits it rich and is now a part of us all equally.
Fun Fact: As a then SIXTEEN year old, he wrote all the backs of the 1976 SSPC set, the most famous of all "outlaw" sets.

I see. I had no idea he came out as…. Political and has lashed out angrily against the right. Now it makes sense.
He is selling his cards to pay for therapists..
Looks like Keith is living rent free in some of your noggins. And just a reminder: nobody cares how you feel personally about Keith Olberman. But, yeah, he's definitely the one who needs therapy and has mommy issues lol.
How about commenting on the card itself since that's why we're all here?
The restoration is really impressive from the die cut it once was. Not something I could afford, but I think it'll do much better than most think.
Al and the crew at LOTG made a very informative and interesting webpage cover the card and its restoration.

From what I've read so far, Keith lost touch with the conservator that restored this card many years ago. It would be interesting to know if the restoration work is completely reversible without damage the "real" portion of this card. Most reputable and professional conservators will usually play by the rule of making all restoration work reversible. I'm not bidding on this, but if I were, it would be good to know that info on the restoration.
I'd also add that since they went through the effort to use a real card as a donor for the background, the conservator should have either chosen a background that more closely resembles the Honus background (like the Billy Sullivan portrait as one example) or they should have done more inpainting on the background so it was a solid color of orange. The yellowish fading background they used looks like it is from an E card, and detracts from the eye appeal.
I’d be shocked if the work can be reversed.

what are the 10 craziest things he's said?
I vaguely remember this guy. Wasn't he a comedian or something?
I remember him for being too serious for whatever he was reporting.
But that was funny!
Remove the man from the discussion and you have an amazing restoration project. I'm sure it will go for six figures plus. The card, the story, the celebrity...
Sounds like you have people living rent free in your noggin. Pointing out that a scumbag is a scumbag is not having him live in one's head. Its a statement of fact. Talk with people who know him.
Go on YOUTUBE and listen to any 5 of his posts. He's an angry, weak, hateful guy. He's more upset in one 2 minute video then I have been all year combined.
I really find it odd that on a sports message board we would have so many people that like to patrol speech. I would expect this on some academia website or a ballet website.
I liked it better before the restoration. If it matters
You’re lashing out at some sports commentator because he aligns against your political and social beliefs. You are delightfully unhinged dude and I want more. I want a triple scoop.
Oh yeah. Local sports guy from the 80s. He was easier to digest then.
call me old school, even curmudgeony if you'd like, but the moment i read 'card' and 'restoration' in the same sentence, i'm out. never to return. couldn't care less about the card, the worth, the owner, the backstory, or the end result.
