<< <i>Tim you brought this upon yourself, the sooner you realize it the better off you will be.
Steve >>
~Yeah, that's right, I done all of this~. Whatever, Steve..
I guess that is why varous members pm me and say they can't believe how much nonsense and piling on some of you guys do to me. Some pms have even admitted that they think less of certain members than they use to for the way they do continue to come at me for the most petty reasons.
I outed a shady seller and took heck in that thread. I said that the seller was going to refund on Ron's card and I get heck for that. What gives, Steve? I have never cheated anyone on here, I have never done anything dishonest or scamming to give ayone on here a reason to treat me this way, yet, some of you act like I am so bad. Am I the only one who has flaws, and you all are so qualified to judge me and act as if you do no wrong? Are you all that great, and above me?
First off, anyone who has ever owned a PSA graded card should have enough common sense that when they see a PSA label with that much vibrant red color, you know the scan has been pumped up.
You CAN clearly see some snow on the card, even with the pumped up scan the seller posted in the auction. Granted, it's not as noticeable as the scan you provided, but there is obvious snow on the card from the seller's scan.
A PSA 8 was paid for, and that is exactly what the seller delivered. That exact card no less,
Is how you brought this upon yourself, if you don't want to see it then there is nothing more I can say.
now again i ask you, How do you know that PoppaJ blocked your pm's?
<< <i>Tim I asked you a very simple question the other day. A very simple one.
I asked you "how do you know he blocked you" You then went on some tirade.
I'm not going to ask Carol anything. Either you know that he blocked you or you don't.
And if you do I just wanted to know how!
No alterior motives involved.
Steve >>
You see, this is your game you specialize in. You ask questions, I answer, and then you still want to spin it and not accept what I said.. It's pointless anymore. Outright stupid..
As I said, anything I said will be spun, so if Carol reads this, she can verify that he blocked me the other day.
You guys are way out of line. Way out of line. All this poor guy wants to do is put forward his opinion and you guys are trying to give him a mob beatdown. If a guy wants to chime in on every thread and force his opinion on others, say he's leaving the board forever only to return a day later, jam his religious beliefs down people's throats even though they repeatedly told him they didn't care, contradict the religious beliefs that he's forcing on people, argue with anybody and everybody in a community over pointless things, always try to play the devil's advocate even in situations where 99.9999% of the world sees it as one-sided, threaten people with violence and talk down to everyone in his path, then who are you to tell him that's wrong? You all could use a serious dose of Nehemiah 7:69 and come back when you're thinking clearly.
In your pms, you have an ignore feature. If you place someone in that, they will not be allowed to pm you, and if they try, it will not go through or be recorded in your pms once you try to send it to that person. Just like the pm you sent never happened.

Lee,
I never threatened anyone, but I was threatened. I told him if he wanted to make good on his threats, I would resolve them if need be. Noone is going to threaten to smash my nose, and me just sit back and take it. I have faults just like everyone else, but when one person takes a piling on just to feed some folks a silly dose of entertainment, that becomes ridiculous.

That's what I'm saying- these guys are all way out of line.
I haven't blocked anybody from PMing me, not even you.
I was the one that asked you to PM me, rather than the two of us keep posting back and forth (which I admit I was doing as a bet with a couple of guys, just to see if you'd let me get the last post in ... but we knew you had to be persistent and wouldn't let me!)
You go and post a PM that I sent you, pretty well edited to your advantage I must say, and then have the nerve to ask why guys rag on you?
I don't brag about my Mantle collection as you say. The only times that I've ever brought up any part of my collection is when I've been asked to, or if it's relevant to a particular post.
Tim, you're a crybaby, a liar, and a self-indulged mister know it all. That's why guys rag on you.
I haven't had any problems with any other guys that I can recall. Yeah, you might say there are a few that PM you that say they don't like me, but as of late, I haven't seen any of their posts saying so... But yet, you tend to have quite a few people that think you're a pompous ass.
If you trace our beginning, you'll find that you are the one that attacked me. I have no idea what the jealousy is all about, but what else could possibly make you slam my opinions when I give them.
Whenever I give an opinion about an auto, I always say it's my opinion. I never say it with conviction, nor do I expect the OP to take my opinion more serious than anyone elses. It's just my opinion. Just like yours.
Anyway, let's see if you can refrain, just this once, from getting the last word in.
And if you feel so compelled that you must spew some afterthoughts to my post .... why not just PM me. (you're not blocked)
Don't bore everyone else.
If you have to post, go ahead .... but, I will be the man and let you have the last word.
PoppaJ
p.s. Other guys have made comments about me being the "Mantle expert" .... not me. I have never made such comments; I only humbly thanked them with a follow-up post for their kind words.

You are lying. Sure, you may have taken the block off now to play a game with me. I guess we will see later on.
I did NOT edit your pm. You are lying about that
Here it is, and Carol can dig into the pms and back that this is what you wrote:
Stanley,
Your jealousy simply amazes me.
We are all laughing behind your back at your stupid remarks.
You're not biased towards Musial, you just can't afford Mantles ... be honest!
Quit taking cheap shots at people and grow a set.
Try being helpful without being an a**hole.
Nobody is telling anyone that those autos are legit ... they're just saying that they look like the ones that they have to compare.
As I remind you, no one is 100% certain unless he actually witnessed the signing.
PoppaJ>>
Here is another remark about my Musial collection, while you try to boast on:
<<Stanley,
you are SO wrong!
you are a pompous ass who thinks they're right all the time and wants to impress everyone because you need the attention.... probably some deficiency as a child or something.
9 different guys told me that you would keep posting to get the last word in .... that's the ONLY reason that I kept posting.
you are such a TOOL!
who calls people "bud"?????
maybe that explains your inability to communicate without getting all out of shape.
you aren't liked on the boards because of your arrogance and lack of class; guys are laughing at YOU!
I'm having fun with this .... apparently it's getting to you!
I think one of your BIG problems with me is that you are jealous of my Mantle collection while you are stuck liking Stan Musial. Sorry, NO comparison. Mantle has and ALWAYS will be number ONE. You can take that to the bank.
Gotta run, got more important things to do than to mess with the likes of you.
Of course you will cover for you friend. So.. it's ok to make fun of what someone collects, and suggest you know what they can or can't afford? I can't imagine the slurs I would receive if I bragged on this forum about what I own, and brow beat members with lesser collections.
<< <i>Ask Carol what? Tim you are sidestepping the issue here.
What exactly am I asking Carol?
I don't care if what he said in the PM's is word for word. lol I just wanted to know how you knew he blocked you.
Geeze forget it!
The fact is you don't know.
Steve >>
Yes, I do. I told you how you can tell if your pms are blocked, and you still won't accept it, so I said verify with Carol if the other day he blocked my pms. You don't want the truth, you just want to split hairs. He is your buddy, you will side with him. I know that, and so do you.

/////////////////////
Just for the record .... He's blocked NOW!
Tim, if you happen to know how to block you from posting to threads, please let me know. Now, that I would do in a heart beat, providing someone didn't beat me to it!
So.. it's ok to make fun of what someone collects, and suggest you know what they can or can't afford? Can you imagine the slurs I would receive if I bragged on this forum about what I own, and brow beat members with lesser collections?
Tim is that directed at me? Are you saying that is how I am? I've done that?
<< <i>So.. it's ok to make fun of what someone collects, and suggest you know what they can or can't afford? Can you imagine the slurs I would receive if I bragged on this forum about what I own, and brow beat members with lesser collections?

Steve >>
No, I am referring to the pms PoppaJ sent me. That stuff is uncalled for. Especially when he does not even have a clue as to what I own or earn. I have never boasted or bragged about my collection on here, since I don't see a point in that.
I was asking you if that was right to make fun of what someone collects? I find that pretty low of someone to do that.
You see, this is the cheap shots that continue. No matter what I say or do, you folks that hate me continue the spewing of venom towards me. You can't just stop being blinded by hate, to admit I done nothing wrong here. Heck, RonBurgundy is the real party involved here, and he is not mad or sluring me, yet, you haters are. If that's not telling, then I don't know what is.
It's just like a member pm'ed me yesterday saying that this nonsense you guys do towards me is just plain ignorant and ruins every thread that I try to post in. No matter how genuine I am, you folks that hate me can't put away the juvenile issues, and make this board a productive place so we can ALL co-exist and enjoy the hobby. This place is swirling into a sewer of useless bias hatred anymore. That is, unless you are a buddy in one of the little cliques on here. Then you are pretty much untouchable. >>
I'd agree with most of this. Most of your posts do, in fact, seem to be helpful and fairly well reasoned-- at least by the admittedly minimal standards of this board. I'd also add that you don't seem to do anything to warrant all the flak you seem to get. You may be a bit loony, but that in and of itself is certainly no crime.
<< <i>Sorry, but I can't see PoppaJ ragging on anyone. Next to Stone he is probably the most polite person on these boards. >>
That is where you and others have been deceived. The guy is nasty and arrogant about it, but plays nice on the board to fit in and be well-liked on here.
Here is another pm he sent with an arrogant cheapshot about my Musial collection:
<<Stanley,
You are showing your immaturity by your constant "let me get the last word in" mentality.
Please stop.
I don't have the time for your nonsense any longer.
Enjoy your Musial collection .... just don't rely on it for retirement
Later.... or as you probably understand best ... "bye bye!">>
If Carol reads this, she can check the pms and know what I am saying is accurate as far as what he has said to me. PoppaJ can't deny it, unless he wants to continue being the liar he is. These pms that I posted are pms I have received from PoppaJ, and they are full in content, with NO EDITING OF ANY KIND.
Stan you keep posting PM's complaining that poppa is being nasty, first off what are the Pm's in reply too and secondly I really don't see them as the nasty arrogant messages that you seem to.
I don't understand why y'all are picking on STM so much.
Who cares that he questioned the "common sense" of respected member of our community. I mean come on, how can you NOT see the snow?!?!
It's so obvious that even an uneducated simpleton can see it!
Additionally, EVERYONE knows that an 8 is an 8 is an 8; all 8s are created and priced equally, regardless if the picture is photoshopped or not. All blame should be directed at PSA for allowing this travesty to occur.
Finally, STM had every right to take it upon himself and contact the Seller in question. Since this is between RonBurgundy, pspa123 (aka CU alias RonD), and STM, the discussions are proprietary and none of y'alls business.
I'm sorry this happened to you, STM. Totally uncalled for and everyone owes you a sincere apology.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
The scan above was the small scan software shrunk down by Ebay. The more compressed the scan the more it merges colors. There was a large size scan available in the auction simply by clicking for a large size picture. Large Size Picture Good For Making Buying Decisions The normal surface wear common with this card is clearly obvious in the large scan the seller provided. Ron's large scan unintentionaly enhances it, the seller's large scan card unintentionaly lessens it. If everyone here scans the card it's going to look different ranging from Ron's to the seller's scan. The card in hand won't look as bad as Ron's enlarged scan and it certianly won't look as good as the seller's small scan. There are 100's of posts here about how to scan and the seller's scan is no different than the overly colorful examples some people post. The seller did not put up a scan meant to deceive. When confronted with the buyer's dissatisfaction the seller agreed to a return. The seller has done nothing wrong and the whole mess is just over how different scanners happen to depict a card.
I don't know about all that. The large size scan does not show the snow like the scan Ron burgandy provides, in his opinion his scan represents what the card actually looks like in hand. Sorry I just ain't buying the 'it looks better in the auction looks worse in the buyers scan'.
I am inclined to take Ron Burgandy's word in this matter.
You guys can rip on Stan, but he does make one very good point, and that is that ripping on another guy's collection because it isn't worth as much as your own is really a classless move, whether it's done by PM or not.

So.. it's ok to make fun of what someone collects, and suggest you know what they can or can't afford? Can you imagine the slurs I would receive if I bragged on this forum about what I own, and brow beat members with lesser collections?
<< <i>Ask Carol what? Tim you are sidestepping the issue here.
What exactly am I asking Carol?
I don't care if what he said in the PM's is word for word. lol I just wanted to know how you knew he blocked you.
Geeze forget it!
The fact is you don't know.

/////////////////////
Just for the record .... He's blocked NOW!
Tim, if you happen to know how to block you from posting to threads, please let me know. Now, that I would do in a heart beat, providing someone didn't beat me to it!
Goodnight!
PoppaJ
<< <i>I have blocked all the PM's of everybody in this thread. >>
Better than having blocked all the BM's of everbody in this thread.
One person has me on block, and when I attempt to send him a pm it got recorded in my history.
That was why I was asking.
Steve
Tim is that directed at me? Are you saying that is how I am? I've done that?

No, I am referring to the pms PoppaJ sent me. That stuff is uncalled for. Especially when he does not even have a clue as to what I own or earn. I have never boasted or bragged about my collection on here, since I don't see a point in that.
I was asking you if that was right to make fun of what someone collects? I find that pretty low of someone to do that.
Did you block me? My PM's are showing up in my history.
Steve
To be honest I really don't care anymore if someone can tell if a person has them on block.
Just wanted to know, I didn't know it was going to be like pulling teeth.

You see, this is the cheap shots that continue. No matter what I say or do, you folks that hate me continue the spewing of venom towards me. You can't just stop being blinded by hate, to admit I done nothing wrong here. Heck, RonBurgundy is the real party involved here, and he is not mad or sluring me, yet, you haters are. If that's not telling, then I don't know what is.
It's just like a member pm'ed me yesterday saying that this nonsense you guys do towards me is just plain ignorant and ruins every thread that I try to post in. No matter how genuine I am, you folks that hate me can't put away the juvenile issues, and make this board a productive place so we can ALL co-exist and enjoy the hobby. This place is swirling into a sewer of useless bias hatred anymore. That is, unless you are a buddy in one of the little cliques on here. Then you are pretty much untouchable. >>
I'd agree with most of this. Most of your posts do, in fact, seem to be helpful and fairly well reasoned-- at least by the admittedly minimal standards of this board. I'd also add that you don't seem to do anything to warrant all the flak you seem to get. You may be a bit loony, but that in and of itself is certainly no crime.
My rant is short Ron..... Glad it worked out with the seller and you....

<< <i>Sorry, but I can't see PoppaJ ragging on anyone. Next to Stone he is probably the most polite person on these boards. >>
That is where you and others have been deceived. The guy is nasty and arrogant about it, but plays nice on the board to fit in and be well-liked on here.
Here is another pm he sent with an arrogant cheapshot about my Musial collection:
<<Stanley,
You are showing your immaturity by your constant "let me get the last word in" mentality.
Please stop.
I don't have the time for your nonsense any longer.
Enjoy your Musial collection .... just don't rely on it for retirement
Later.... or as you probably understand best ... "bye bye!">>
If Carol reads this, she can check the pms and know what I am saying is accurate as far as what he has said to me. PoppaJ can't deny it, unless he wants to continue being the liar he is. These pms that I posted are pms I have received from PoppaJ, and they are full in content, with NO EDITING OF ANY KIND.
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
and secondly I really don't see them as the nasty arrogant messages that you seem to.
Sorry I just don't see it.

Who cares that he questioned the "common sense" of respected member of our community. I mean come on, how can you NOT see the snow?!?!
It's so obvious that even an uneducated simpleton can see it!
Additionally, EVERYONE knows that an 8 is an 8 is an 8; all 8s are created and priced equally, regardless if the picture is photoshopped or not. All blame should be directed at PSA for allowing this travesty to occur.
Finally, STM had every right to take it upon himself and contact the Seller in question. Since this is between RonBurgundy, pspa123 (aka CU alias RonD), and STM, the discussions are proprietary and none of y'alls business.
I'm sorry this happened to you, STM. Totally uncalled for and everyone owes you a sincere apology.
There was a large size scan available in the auction simply by clicking for a large size picture.
Large Size Picture Good For Making Buying Decisions
The normal surface wear common with this card is clearly obvious in the large scan the seller provided.
Ron's large scan unintentionaly enhances it, the seller's large scan card unintentionaly lessens it.
If everyone here scans the card it's going to look different ranging from Ron's to the seller's scan.
The card in hand won't look as bad as Ron's enlarged scan and it certianly won't look as good as the seller's small scan.
There are 100's of posts here about how to scan and the seller's scan is no different than the overly colorful examples some people post.
The seller did not put up a scan meant to deceive. When confronted with the buyer's dissatisfaction the seller agreed to a return.
The seller has done nothing wrong and the whole mess is just over how different scanners happen to depict a card.
Ron burgandy provides, in his opinion his scan represents what the card actually looks like
in hand. Sorry I just ain't buying the 'it looks better in the auction looks worse in the buyers scan'.
I am inclined to take Ron Burgandy's word in this matter.
