But, I still have his collection waiting for him when he's ready to jump back in. Sound familiar? I like that I… -
Re: Will the lockout hurt vintage hockey this coming year?
I will miss hockey if they don't play this season. I think the key to expanding hockey's popularity is to get people to attend the games. Seeing hockey in person is better than any other sporting event, IMO. The action is non stop and the crowd really gets you into the game. That's something that you miss from TV. Plus on… -
Re: Stolen coins in Minnesota

Lot 1661 at B & M's Baltimore ANA show July 30 through August 2nd was a FBL MS67 1948 Franklin. I saw it. It (I think) is the only Franklin I have ever looked at. Don't… -
Re: I know what I paid, but what is it worth?
<< <i>I'm definitely not a banned member. I didn't like the way when I misunderstood a question and you chewed me out (Neither did the 3 people that shot me PM's about it), so you got on my bad side then, I'm sure before the "we do not grade" list you had never seen me say anything?

Re: Jeff Kent HOF chances?
First, to dispense with the obvious and painful argument, Kent was a whole lot better than Harold Baines, so if that's the new yardstick then he has to get in someday. Beyond that, he'd be a lower tier HOFer, but not in the obvious mistake class, and folks in that class get in mostly on good will with voters and/or they… -
