lest us not forgotten or forget John Bonham heard he could play the drums every now & then even when the Levee breaks.

Bonham was badass. I am no purist, nor would I feign a strong knowledge of drum talent, but I absolutely love the drums for zeppelin (well, all aspects of their music, usually).

I heard LEVI can play the kazoo and also a shofar....all while wearing that hat. All I can say is "WOW". That's at least worth 250% VCP.

rbdjr1 · June 10, 2011 5:59AM

Wonder if Levi wore 60s bell-bottoms and a Levi's jean jacket?

<< And '707' turned upside down is "LOL" >>

In the 60s Outside of New Woodstock, NY ("deep country", south of Sryacuse & Utica)

rbdjr1 · June 10, 2011 6:11AM

or maybe Levi was more of 60s mod hippie stripe jeans guy?

What do you guys think of Geddy Lee as a bassist? Top 10 all time?

rbdjr1 · June 10, 2011 10:26AM

<< What do you guys think of Geddy Lee as a bassist? Top 10 all time? >>

His band stayed popular for years, as they toured forever, seems he would be on many a "10 best rock bassists lists",

but "I kept it to myself", that after a couple of Rush songs that were "catchy tunes", I privately "passed on the group".

On the progressive side, I'd rather pick Chris Squire!

Sorry Levi

a little "707 soul sacrifice for a rock hijack''!

geez I wonder where Mr. Brown has been.

Been away form the forum for awhile. It's nice to have been missed! Levi, what can I do for you?

WinPitcher · June 10, 2011 1:21PM

Keep creating threads about me.

Brown · June 10, 2011 1:26PM

It's a cheap way to advertise! Best of luck, you do seem to be an asset to the hobby.

I wonder if this is Levi's favorite baseball movie

One of the best !

rbdjr1 · June 10, 2011 9:52PM

this Levi recently sold on fee-bay, got $265 and positive feedback.

I would call this a "ho hum" PSA 9, you think

rd

rbdjr1 · June 10, 2011 10:09PM

I always liked to scroll down Levi's inventory on fee-bay. He always has something interesting to see there.

rd

$505

$37500 even the PSA label is OC/MC!

fandango · June 10, 2011 10:19PM

Is Diamondman Levi?

fiveniner · June 10, 2011 10:25PM

Is this really a Sports Card forum or am I on the wrong forum?

you just wanted to get to 2000 posts!

P.S. Along with sports card content; these threads do, on occasion, add some:

salt - for wounds
2 cents - everyone wants theirs in
spoon - some use one to "stir the pot"
sarcasm & humor - on a sports card forum? Never allow!
OT - really means "overtime" (you know, sports related) - I thought it meant "off-topic"

A great quote I heard from a wise man: "If some dirt wasn't included in their diets, they wouldn't be called chicken gizzards

(who was that wise man?)

WinPitcher · June 11, 2011 12:05AM

Let me get this straight Robert, I have over 1 million graded cards and you show 3 examples?

cpettimd · June 11, 2011 12:38AM

I had a nice chat with Levi last week. He is a really nice guy.
He bought something from me for his Mantle registry set ( an oddball Mantle item PSA graded)

stevek · June 11, 2011 12:56AM

Right now he's got 10 (ten) 1952 Mantles in inventory...I think if I owned ten 1952 Mantles, I'd be a really nice guy as well. LOL

I always find it a little odd when a store puts its cards on the registy. Isn't the registry for collections....not store inventory?

I think if I owned 10 mantles and had been trying to sell those same 10 mantles for the past 3 years, I might google the words "inventory turnover" and "cash flow."

Then I'd probably put on a hat, eat a bowl of Grape Nuts, crank up the Dire Straits, log onto eBay, and decline all best offers received the day before.

Levi is a collector as well.

itzagoner · June 11, 2011 1:58AM

perhaps, there is a motive.

after all, if Levi gets buried with all of his stuff, he will unseat King Tut and claim the heavyweight title.

celesterussell · June 11, 2011 2:01AM

WOW, you guys gossiping about Levi. You sound like woman around a sewing circle.........

itzagoner · June 11, 2011 2:17AM

that's a pretty funny conjunction when held up to the light of your sigline, Ms. russell.

celesterussell · June 11, 2011 2:35AM

how is this one..... the sewing circle/washerwomen can decide who will wash, who will dry and who will fold the clothes this week.

itzagoner · June 11, 2011 2:49AM

dunno about the wash 'n' dry, but i nominate the Miami Heat to fold.

Fine. Then let him put up his personal collection on the registry. There is nothing there under his name on the Mantle registry- Its 707 Sportscards, his business. If all of his cards are for sale, then its not a personal collection. Its akin to the owner of the local auto dealership bragging to his friends at the country club about how many BMW's he owns.

As I felt a little-bit guilty!

C.Russell is right.

Umm are you claiming he has 10 1952 Mantles on the registry?

rbdjr1 · June 11, 2011 7:31AM

Levi's 9 different - 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle PSAs

Wow! He has 388 different Mantles listed: LINK

What was the name of that show where they had three people, and the contestant had to guess the right one. They all acted like they were going to stand up at the end of the show until one person finally stood up.

No, I never said that. You're the first person to make that point.

<< always find it a little odd when a store puts its cards on the registy. Isn't the registry for collections....not store inventory? >>

Mac I was replying to the above quote. Someone, (Griffens) had already mentioned he was a collector also.

Your above quote implies that levi has put his inventory on the registry. Is it possible that he has his collection AND

store inventory, with only the collection on the registry? That is why I asked if he had all 10 52 Mantles on the registry.

If he had, then your quote would have been somewhat accurate.

I have cards in my registry and everyone is for sale (at the right price)

One last point, his store and his registry names may be similar, they are in fact different.

Edited: His Ebay name is different, his website is the same. Just like many other collector/dealers.

I stand corrected. (At one time I thought his website was also www.707sportscards.com)

WinPitcher · June 11, 2011 10:15AM

<< Fine. Then let him put up his personal collection on the registry. >>

I believe that he has. I do not believe that any of his store inventory is on the registry.

Like me and many others I'd think that he too would sell any card for the right price, but we would have to ask him.

I believe that was To Tell The Truth.

bobbyw8469 · June 11, 2011 10:31AM

To Tell The Truth is correct. The beginning of the film "Catch Me If You Can" starts out on the show.....

Steve, he has plenty of his ebay inventory on the registry.

WinPitcher · June 12, 2011 12:06AM

Robert you know this how?

You have matched up certs?

I find it hard to believe.

And, even if that is true, as long as he does not link his registry from ebay, or make mention
of it on the registry (with prices and comments) what's the big deal?

I've sold plenty of cards on ebay that were still listed on the registry. They sell, I remove them.

I guess the real point I should be making is why all the jealously when it comes to this guy?

It's his prices are too high and now it's how he uses the registry.

I don't know Levi and I don't harbor any ill will toward the guy at all. My comments are general in nature.
The point I was trying to make earlier is that its odd for a large dealer to reflect their inventory in the registry. Its wierd on 2 levels - First
its extremely difficult for any private collector to compete with a business who finances their inventory with lines of credit etc. etc. The registry
is for private collections, not businesses. Second- If a business is using the registry, its very likely that they are doing so because its a cheap way
to get FREE advertising for thier business. Its already been established here that Levi uses the same name on his registry as he does for his business.
His ebay handle even matches the name of his registry. If I'm only the person that finds that troubling, so be it. I find it to be very spammish.
