Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>Famous quote by Craig Nettles to Sparky Lyle when the Yankees let Lyle go.<br /><br />So, I say to you all......Sayonara......<br /><br />I am SIGNING-OFF from this Forum.....for now. I've gained a lot of knowledge and I would like to think I<br /> have contributed some of my Vintage BB card expertise to this forum. If nothing else, I am sure I have<br /> posted some thought-provoking Threads.<br /><br /> More importantly, are the friendships I've gained these past 2 years on here.....friends like Brian Weisner<br />Barry Arnold....Frank Wakefield....Scott Ingold....Scot Reader....Jim Rivera....Anthony Nex....Leon Luckey<br />Hal Lewis....Scott Moseley....Kevin Cummings....Peter Thomas....Mike Peich....Tim Newcomb....Trae R....<br />Lyle Jobes....Jeff Lichtman......last, but not least....Dan McKee....Barry Sloate....Rich Klein (the 4 of us<br /> have been friends since the early 1980's).<br /><br />Many more.....so, please forgive me if I didn't mention some of your names.<br /><br />Lastly, I did not sign on to Net54 to be the subject of personal attacks by the "usual suspects"....who <br />think this BB card hobby just revolves around PSA, SGC, pop reports, etc....and, regard substantive BB<br /> card discussions (to quote one of these suspects)....as "incessant T206 meander".<br /> <br />I will continue to be a "reader" and an occasional poster on B/S/T.<br /><br />Have a great Spring and Summer....Best Wishes to all....95% of you are really great people. <br /><br />T-Rex TED

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>Ted<br /><br />Before you go I wanted to ask you a question, did you used to go to those Augusta Supershows in Maine back in the late 1980's or early 1990's? As a kid I used to go to those with my brother Rhett all the time. Usually an older collector friend from our church named Alan Strout who also lived in the Bangor area would take us and for some reason your name sounded familiar even before this forum and it just hit me that as a kid I might have met you down there once upon a time.<br /><br />Feel free to send me a personal e mail if you dont want to post anymore, but I wish you the best if you dont post here anymore.<br /><br />Rhys Yeakley

Posted By: <b>Andy</b><p>Wow. Ted, <br />I'm truly sorry to hear that you've made this decision. I'm glad you will still read the boards though. I have enjoyed your contributions immensely and will miss your input.<br /><br />Keep this in mind. There are many more lurkers than there are posters on this board. I would venture to say that quite a few of the lurkers learned a lot from your posts and many of them will be sorry to see you go. I know I will.<br /><br />Please do keep us informed on your progress with our wonderful hobby and maybe post a little in the recent pick ups as well.<br /><br />Take it easy and keep smiling. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br><br>Thanks,<br /><br />Andy

Posted By: <b>Dave S</b><p>Hey Ted, for what it's worth...being relatively new with posting on here, I usually sit back and avoid the controversial non-baseball related bickering that goes on here. But going to chime in and say that in a short time on here, it's damn easy to see who the card-knowledgable people are and who the nit-pickers are. I think most know which side of that fence you stand on. Think more people should follow the baseball related aspect of the site and save their personal vendetta's for the chatrooms. Best of luck and will hate to see your knowledge of this hobby no longer posted here...

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Ted,<br /><br />It seems you are firm in this decision, but I will join those who say you should not stop posting. I think your survey threads on T206's have led to the best raw research and knowledge accumulation that I have seen here - by far. I'm not that deeply into this set, but I still recognize extremely valuable contributions to its collectors when I see it. And your individual expertise is boundless and helpful as well.<br /><br />As to the comment about "incessant T206 meanders", I noticed that one too and had to smile. But I also know that E, Daniel is passionate in his posts and don't think for one minute that he would suggest, in thoughtful seriousness, that posting about serious (as you put it, substantive) issues and questions is somehow inappropriate for this board. It is exactly the point of this board. I don't mean to speak for Daniel (Hi Daniel), but I think he would agree with that despite having made the comment. Heat of the moment type thing - I recently did it myself.<br /><br />So read, but ring in too if you can see your way clear.<br /><br />Joann

How or why would someone get pushed to the point of having to leave when they have so much to offer here ?<br /><br />Of all the knowledge i've picked up here. By far Ted has provided the most . And i would imagine that goes for more than just me. Geez someone who will help and provide info to anyone who asks......Yeah lets run him off !!!!<br /><br />Just boggles the mind.<br /><br />I know enough from me.

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>It seems pretty obvious to me that this arises from yesterdays "is it possible" thread started by Daniel. If so, I think both Ted and Daniel ought not to take these things so seriously. Take a week off Ted and see how you feel then. There are obviously many people here who value your opinions. <br /><br />Howard<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Hopefully Ted will come back after a break. He and Daniel are very passionate and I would bet $100 if they got together it would be a polite, but maybe spirited, conversation. Both are good guys in my book. More often than not folks that leave, like myself for several days, come back just as good as ever. That's the great thing about true collectors....We always come back.....Armpits UNITE !!

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>One of the things that fascinates me about the board, and has since I first began reading it, is the number of personal attacks that occur. I wish I had an explanation for why this is so, but it escapes me. Consider the number of people who have gotten into bitter attacks with each other, the number of people who have left the board for extended periods of time, and it is truly alarming.<br /><br />I've always said that if a psychology major were looking for a topic to write a dissertation on, this board would offer a motherlode of information. Most of us have left for some period of time, myself included. If this were a forum dealing in controversial issues, such as the war or politics (and we go there often) I would expect tempers to flare a bit. But that it happens in the arena of discussing baseball cards will always remain a mystery to me.<br /><br />I too hope Ted comes back, but it will only happen when and if he is ready.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>If you care enough about Vintage Baseball cards to be a regular contributor to this Board, then you probably can get pretty easily insulted when someone suggests that you're an idiot for spending thousands of dollars on getting your cards graded when you could use that money to buy raw cards.<br /><br />It is the lack of respect for people's collecting choices that drive people mad, and make people respond in ways that, I am sure, are insulting to the instigator. <br /><br />If you collect raw, so be it, if you collect graded, so be it, and if you collect super high minty graded, so be it. But if you insult someone for their fundamental collecting beliefs, then you are likely going to get it thrown back at you.<br /><br />I have run into big time troubles with both Ted Z (who prefers raw) and Jim C (who prefers PSA 8), because I felt it necessary to stick up for myself when I was being called an idiot by both. And, both failed to acknowledge that their initial positions were insulting to me and others, choosing instead to focus on the responses that their initial insensitive posts caused. <br /><br />For whatever its worth, it is a shame that Ted Z could not recognize the context of this dialog, and will be pulling his substantial knowledge of T206 cards with him. He might not have had the only ball to play with on the block, but it will be difficult to find another one like it, now that he's taken his ball and gone home.<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Rich- I met Jim Crandall in person and he was a lot nicer and more soft spoken than he came across on the board.<br /><br />One of the topics that I actually find amusing is the debate between raw and slabbed, and the bickering that ensues. What's particularly funny to me is many of the people who hate slabbed cards will take their raws cards and store them in screw down holders. When you think about it, is there really much of a difference between a plastic slab and a lucite holder? The former has a label placed on it by a third party, and that singular opinion seems to be a constant source of dismay among various collectors. It seems like so much fighting is over so small a distinction. But that's why I say I find the board fascinating.

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>I agree with Rich Klein's request for civility. It is extremely important. Otherwise we're going to end up having only attorneys posting on this board...and that would be a sad state of affairs.<br /><br />As a consequence of their profession where name-calling is routine, most attorneys I know have extremely thick skins. All criticism sort of just bounces right off them...most sensitive attorneys I know have decided long ago they want to go into another field.<br /><br />Let's be kind and civil with each other...if this becomes a board with only thick-skinned people, I'm going to stop posting because it will be just like work.<br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>ErlandStevens</b><p>It's a shame to lose people. As one who is almost exclusively a lurker, I enjoy the varied opinions on the board. The debating (when at least somewhat civil) is very informative for someone like me who is less in the know than most regular posters. People who are willing to take a stance and defend it are a real asset to the board. The hobby is made up of people will all different interests and motivations, and it's good for all of them to be represented here. However, because this is a hobby, people are going to collect in the manner that they most enjoy. If one takes an intolerant view of another's collecting style, he had better be ready to take some heat.<br><br>While we're on the topic of people who aren't posting (awkward transition), where is Frank Ward? I thought he was the master of civility and always kept the discussion on cards.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Irony.<br /><br />I learn things every day, about myself and others, both positive and not-so in equal portions.<br />Just a few days back I was quoted for partaking in a 'bash' of someone's kids on this board, ironically in a thread in which the entirity of my posts was making the exact argument against in relation to the Imus drama. I looked at each of those girls as someone's kids, and the hateful things he said simply unforgivable. I questioned whether someone could live with those comments about their own children, and then faceatiously suggested that individual's children would be extremely proud of such a stance if they were the subjects of the diatribe.<br />It's a strange line such principled stands as protecting free speech over the hurt and effects it can cause to others, and I understand both sides. I know you can both stand by your father as he is ridiculed and demeaned, merely praying to his god, and being above the base evil occuring around him, and admire, love and respect such inner strength and goodness. I also know, from family experience, that even knowing such action to be righteous and wanting to honor such choice, one can just as easily be robbed of your own sense of safety and strength, feeling scared throughout your life for your own physical and emotional well being, robbed of that inner confidence and peace. <br />I respect standing on principle, alot, but have my own personal mission statement that says over all else, thou shalt not damage my child. And I'll do anything, quite literally, to make that so.<br />So I apologized to James, because even though I made no effort to disparage his children and barely referenced them - I understand how sacred even the possibility of doing so must be uppermost.<br /><br />And then yesterday. <br />I would take back only one thing from what I posted, and that was reference to 'T206 meander'. It was quite obviously a slight in referencing Ted's collecting focus, and was meant as such. Because I was sick, sick to death, head spinning off my shoulders frustrated at such continous, insidious, vituperative commentary on the issue of grading. By the same man (and men - 'the usual supects' <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>), again and again and again.<br /><br />Peter S. is right. And so is everyone else. These are cards, and we need thick skin in general when discussing such frivolty on a chat board that doesn't allow for handshakes, facial nuances, twinkling of an eye to suggest a good natured ribbing over real insult. And similarly should we not need such thick skin that enduring constant insult is completely to be expected, especially if subjectively authorized because a particular member is a long tenured one and whose company and ideas are enjoyed by a great many.<br />Good natured debate and teasing is one thing.<br />Truly poor behaviour is another.<br /><br />So irony is that I potentially offended one man - in desperation to protect all children - by mentioning his own uninvited......<br />And responded yesterday aggressively and perhaps insensitively to what I view as ongoing needling and insensitivity where none is needed. Can a choice to grade cards be THAT important that you would knowingly enter debate after heated debate, decrying an activity that makes many knowledgable serious hobbyists happy?<br /><br />I don't know.<br /><br />But again its time to apologize. For referencing negatively a collecting choice was exactly what I was railing against, and there I went and did it.<br />I won't again.<br /><br />Every other thing I said, I stand by.<br />And I'm going to try and do what John S. says, and just contribute what little knowledge I have to the board and enjoy the friendships I can muster. As Leon mentions as his greatest reason for being here, I don't think I'd addictively be checking in so often if I didn't enjoy reading your voices and chuckling at wonkaticket's visual collages, even when I'm the victim <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.<br /><br /><br />Daniel

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>If someone is to leave the board, just do it quietly. Otherwise, it looks like a big "I'm leaving, look at me, notice me, please tell me don't go and we can't live with out you". No one is bigger than the community or the hobby.

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>Barry, first off almost all my pre world war I cards are in screwdown holders or graded by sgc/psa. :)And to address what you said, I dont think that it has anything to do with the display aspect of the slabs but everything to do with paying money to have a 3rd party assign a grade. This is what gets raw card enthusiasts worked up. If you were to pay a company a buck or two to just encapsulate a card, no grade, not even an assesment of authenticity, purely to protect the card from damage, I dont think any of the raw card collectors could complain about that. Most collectors like to maximize the value of their collection regardless of why they collect. Sometimes it may be in your better interest to send in your collection of cards in for grading. For others it may be better to take that money and buy more cards with it. It all depends on what your collection consists of. You can't blame anyone for trying to maximize the value of their collection, which is what most of us are trying to do when making that decison. So live and let live, everyone is playing their own hand the best they can. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Just don't post for awhile and maybe you will change your mind. I think some others have taken this path also, don't know if they are back. I probably wouldn't know if they are gone or posting again.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I don't mind people letting others know that they are leaving and why they are leaving.

He was arguably the most knowledgeable collector on this board when he was here and he was always willing to share his knowledge....I have no idea why he left. Now we are losing Ted who was also very knowledgeable. We know why he's leaving so there won't be any wondering. This board suffers when it loses that much knowledge.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I prefer that regular posters say something if they are going to stop posting, even at the risk of looking melodramatic. If someone simply stops posting I always wonder and worry that something has happened to them - how would we ever know? Gil Maines stopped posting and I worried about that I saw that he was still posting on the non-sports vintage board - at least I know he's okay.<br /><br />And I was wondering about Frank too and was going to ask if he is okay. In addition to no posts, his site hasn't been updated in awhile either.<br /><br />Joann

"From CYoung to....Sayonara"....Craig Nettles (ca 1979)
Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I think one of the main factors is...where else can you go to talk about prewar vintage baseball cards? Your spouse? Your coworkers? Is it worth bringing up to the cashier at the grocery store how excited you are because you just came across a cheap E94 Cobb? <br /><br />Point is...this is the main place I would venture to say most all of us unload our thoughts, and proudly display pickups, etc...getting mad and leaving or not posting will only hurt yourself in the long run.

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>Sorry to see you go Ted. With you and a few of the other T206 diehards posting on here, I have learned more about this set in three months than I had learned in 3 decades. I certainly hope you will return shortly. I was hoping to see the end result of all your "no print lists" but that will sadly have to wait.<br /><br />I am often amazed at how worked up people get over what is supposed to be a fun hobby and I suspect if people typed only what they would say to someone in person, Ted and some others would still be posting here. I therefore echo Rich Klein's sentiments that civility is in order. We collect little pieces of cardboard after all-what point is there insulting people over that fact? Ted-I'm going to crack a slab in your honor tonight! Hurry back.<br /><br />Dave
