"hump" and "highly skilled ape" in the same post. Very Impressive sir.

<< <i>Ok if you insist 50 years ago is 1960 right? You trying to say that no card from 1960 has gone down in value?
maybe not from 1960 levels when they were a penny a piece but I'm sure that some PSA 8's that were being gobbled up
as low pops sure as heck have gone down especially since the pops have increased.
Not sure what color glasses you are looking through. I'm not too familiar with the 60 set but I know as fact
some 1965 cards have gone down.
If you want me to list a few just ask.
Steve >>
Clearly we are talking about 1960 or earlier prices compared to now. The cards were almost worthless then, as they were just an extra prize in packs of gum for children, and even commons are worth a substantial amount now. If you can find a card from 1960 or earlier that is worth less now than the day it was printed, I would be utterly amazed. "50 years from now they will all be worth much less than they are now" is a bold and absolutely ridiculous generalization. It is the same as saying every card that is printed is forever doomed to be worth less 50 years from the day it was printed. Sit and think about how stupid that is.
I want you to give me a comprehensive analysis on every post 1960 card to prove your theory sir, I want to see lots of charts and spider graphs. I also heard someone said you were a dude in a PM but I got your back and told everyone I didn't believe them.

Wow. Another internet tough guy. That explains a lot.
I'm only replying because this thread is at the top of the page.
If everyone would just let this die, it will go away.
We get the point now. Felicia was not the one posting on here. The person posting was a man. The person buying high $$ wax/racks/cellos from BBCE was a man. Steve Hart confirmed this. Felicia (whoever she is) obviously at least exists. Mike confirmed this part. Maybe his wife's name is Felicia. Maybe it's his mistress or his sister. Who gives a rats azz now?
He was a valuable asset to this community but is surely long gone from this board now. He gave away enormous amounts of high dollar packs and cards. My one experience was asking to purchase about 200 commons for a 1976 Topps set. A week later, I get a complete set in the mail. Those days are gone now.
Even though I can not understand why he would feel the need to post as a woman, he has his reasons I guess. Only part that irks me a little was the 52 Topps BOARD set build with a contest. Set was abandoned along with the contest and no real explanation why. Oh well. I think we should all move on.
As far as Paul being sounding like an internet tough guy, he gladly offered to meet in person at National this year to discuss it. Doesn't sound like he is hiding behind a keyboard to me.
This board will be completely dead soon thanks to never ending drama like this. I may have been a pot stirrer myself in the past but many good posters left this forum already do to drama prior to this episode.
I hope everyone sees that this is simply the best board around.
Once you have a grasp on the hobby and know that this is a place for baseball cards then you are fine.
Although you may meet many people and develop relationships with them that is not neccessary.
Take things for what it is worth.
I hope all the people that were thinking of leaving stay and simply ignore the nay-sayers.
I often don't jump into these threads as I haven't met anyone on the boards but am quite happy with this board, and to be honest without this board I may even quit collecting again.
If it was for meeting other odd-ball error collectors here I would be done.
So, everyone post, enjoy, make a new username/avatar/email., whatever, just share and keep it postive.

What's not to understand. Someone made an absolutely ridiculous statement that all cards will be worth less in 50 years, and you said "I can't argue with it.", and I asked you to elaborate.

Steve >>
Dude, you have serious issues with seeing only what you want to see. If you were only commenting on the assumption that you will be dead in 50 years, then would that NOT be what I was asking you to elaborate on??? All you had to say was, I WAS COMMENTING ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WILL BE DEAD IN 50 YEARS, NOT AGREEING THAT ALL CARDS WILL BE WORTH LESS IN 50 YEARS. You always accuse others of having reading comprehension problems, yet you have THE worst reading comprehension skills I have ever seen on a message board. My god. I ask you the simplest question I can ask you, and you turn it into THIS??? I think you just love to argue.
Since there wasn't even a serious hobby called card collecting 50 years ago, I'm not sure how going back that far even applies. It IS germaine to point out how many cards have lost value since the heyday of the hobby. Many haven't, but a ton have. I don't think it's an absurd statement to say that in 50 years most cards may have dropped in value. Do I agree with the statement?? Hard to say for sure, but there's a big difference between agreeing with a statement and saying you can't argue with it. It's called the gray area for a reason.

Quite possibly. :-)
Can you say with absoute certainty that we won't all be using cards for TP in 50 years and living a road warrior existence?? It's not entirely impossible, even if it seems absurdly unlikely. I think that's what this whole debate has turned into - some arguing in black and white, and some pointing our the grey area in between positions.

If you were only commenting on the assumption that you will be dead in 50 years, then would that NOT be what I was asking you to elaborate on??? All you had to say was, I WAS COMMENTING ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT I WILL BE DEAD IN 50 YEARS, NOT AGREEING THAT ALL CARDS WILL BE WORTH LESS IN 50 YEARS. You always accuse others of having reading comprehension problems, yet you have THE worst reading comprehension skills I have ever seen on a message board. My god. I ask you the simplest question I can ask you, and you turn it into THIS??? I think you just love to argue.
Since there wasn't even a serious hobby called card collecting 50 years ago, I'm not sure how going back that far even applies. It IS germaine to point out how many cards have lost value since the heyday of the hobby. Many haven't, but a ton have. I don't think it's an absurd statement to say that in 50 years most cards may have dropped in value. Do I agree with the statement?? Hard to say for sure, but there's a big difference between agreeing with a statement and saying you can't argue with it. It's called the gray area for a reason.

HE SAID ALL CARDS. ALL CARDS WILL BE WORTH LESS IN 50 YEARS. ALL CARDS. ALL CARDS. ALL CARDS. ALL CARDS WILL BE WORTH LESS IN 50 YEARS. Why is it so hard for you people to not see the absolutely LUNACY in that statement. Am I in the freaking Twilight Zone???

I agree, total insanity for anyone to say that. All cards will be worth less in 25 years.

Quite possibly. :-)
Can you say with absoute certainty that we won't all be using cards for TP in 50 years and living a road warrior existence?? It's not entirely impossible, even if it seems absurdly unlikely. I think that's what this whole debate has turned into - some arguing in black and white, and some pointing our the grey area in between positions.

It is obvious that you are having a communication issue.
lol
This is a typical thread that was derailed.

Just imagine if I argued the point.
SCT you have know brought the original issue full circle at least 2 times.
Maybe it would have been better to have asked the person that made the comment and not me.
Anything I would say you would argue, I could say the sky is blue and you would debate the shade.
Better you reply to others from this point forward.
I'll do the same.

<< <i>This place is so freaking backwards. No wonder they want to shut it down. When a person can make one of the most backwards and ludicrous statements you can make about cards, and the person who points it out is the one getting piled on in the forum, clearly the inmates are running the asylum. I'll try and keep my mouth shut from now on so all you insane folks can carry on with the insanity. Have at it. >>
Before I clock out on this pointless thread -- perhaps a different way to frame this debate is that the one NOT getting piled on is the one who tried to make a peaceful calming statement, and the one getting piled on is the one making emotional posts.

I think the correct word would be "frustrated" posts. I get frustrated when dealing with morons.

Because the supply remains constant and demand is shrinking.

You really believe every single card will be worth much less in 50 years. Really.
