In another thread I made a couple of claims with regard to Mickey71. One of the claims, about him complaining with regard to shipping charges was inaccurate as I mistakenly thought he was another poster. After reviewing the threads, I found that I was wrong about my statement on this particular subject and wish to publicly apologize to Mickey71 for this error. To reiterate, I accused Mickey71 of complaining about shipping and I was wrong . . . he was not the board member that made the gripes and I apologize to Mickey71.
I felt it was better to post a new thread rather than bury my transgression in the thread where I made the claim.
As always, I will stand behind what I say and how I say it and when I am wrong, I have no problem acknowledging such.
To a majority of the board, I apologize for being a bit testy lately. The stress of the season and the redundancy and silliness of some recent posts and topics have led me to be even more vocal than normal. I will pull back and refrain from both being annoyed and/or publicly stating my annoyance . . . well, at least as much as possible...

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Sorry....you caught me
<< <i>Apology accepted. I want to explain a few things myself. I took a slight jab at Otwcards in an earlier thread, it was not meant to cause a stir. For this I also apologize. I am a very passionate collector who appreciates this fine hobby. I have been a soldier in the Army for 20 + years and respect all individuals no matter what thier opinion is. As far as cards: I love high grade Mantles and like to show my recent purchases because I also like to view other peoples cards. I've amassed a nice collection as a few of you know. A few things have been brought to my attention as of late. I am very critical of the main grading companies. When I see something messed up I don't mind speaking up. Don't get me wrong; PSA as a whole does an outstanding job. Grading can be very subjective and therefore some will be disappointed at times. I can assure you that I have been disappointed at times and have also been pleasantly surprised at times. As far as my true concerns with the hobby in regards to PSA--- while they have cleaned up a large part of the hobby with standardized grading they have started a new monster--not intentionally. You will have to follow me on this. The past is the past; but they should not change their label (flip) ever again. Many collectors are getting scared to purchase cards because PSA has about 8 different looks to their flips. I begin to question some of the cards being sold. My second concern and to me the most frustrating is the way "crossovers" are handled. I see very few cards cross that are of high value; but when cracked out generally do fine. This does not seem right. I'm talking mostly about SGC and first generation GAI. To end on a positive note; while I may not agree with everyone, I respect the opinion of all on the boards. I think most of the posts have some interesting points in them. I also appreciate how board members try to look out for one another in regards to Ebay scams and such. I want to wish all the members and PSA a safe and happy holiday season.

Throw a paragraph break in there every once in awhile Mickey, I left my reading glasses at work

Nothing like a post shrouded in mystery

That's fair enough. I respect that, Scott. Nice gesture.

I think some on this thread should look in the mirror before they make such a comment.

I am truly inspired.
And for this I offer my most sincere and emphatic apology to date, I'm very sorry. And although I accidently Canadianed on several occasions, I'll try my very best to Canadian less in the future.
