T206Collector[Nobody said anything about dating, besides you’re probably not my type, and yeah we know you’re not into it.]
By dating, I mean setting up a time and date to meet people that you met on the internet.
[“Stalk much?” LMAO Full of yourself much. “The Misfud Collection”]
If I have an ego, it's only because you have spent so much time researching me before writing the first post you wrote above. The fact that you readily know my first name, last name, set registry positions on two different websites, my position on grading, my position on permissible alterations, etc., is a little frightening. You may be laugnhing your butt off, but I'm honestly a little spooked that you're keeping such a good tally of my internet behavior and comments.
And if you are going to use my name, at least you could spell it correctly.
Also, I use my last name as a play off of "The Harris Collection" and the "Mr. X Collection."
[If you want to remain anonymous, perhaps labeling your collection with the provenance of your last name is not the way to go about staying anonymous.]
I don't spend a lot of time worrying about my anonymity. But I don't go out of my way to be public either. I sign every post with my e-mail address which uses my first initial and my last name. Buy and card from me/sell a card to me, and you'll get my address. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who I am. Even Adam J. Moraine was able to figure that out when he used my last name to call me Milfslut, or something akin... but I digress.
[No we are having a dispute over grade bumping which results in financial gain, regardless of methods.]
That is not the dispute I was having. You can take it up with SGC, PSA or GAI, all of which permit erasing and soaking gunk off of cards. You might even take it up with Leon who started a thread a little while back supporting these practices. Either way, I understand your position but I humbly disagree with it.
[Still don’t see a difference still chasing a numerical grade regardless of whose quality you like better.]
Okay. But there is a difference. Especially if you think the SGC numerical grade means something and the PSA numerical grade doesn't, as I do.
[For you to rag on guys who chase PSA 7’s and then to chase SGC 40’s the only difference I see is price differences within those perspective grades, not to mention the holier than thou attitude you come across with.]
I rag more on PSA chasers, than PSA 7 chasers, but I also view with suspicion SGC 80 and higher graded cards. It's just my opinion. 100 year old cards with sharp corners got to the 21st Century somehow, but how?
[No we don’t Paul. What we need is for you to just collect cards enjoy them and let it go, that’s what we really need.]
Thank you for guiding me as to what I should and should not post about. But I'll take my cues from elsewhere, if you don't mind. Especially since you are trying to bully me into stopping my soapbox rant by (a) bringing my first and last names into the equation; and (b) essentially calling me a card doctor.
[Holier than thou attitude.]
crying I learned it by reading you Wonkaticket. I learned it by reading you! I miss your long rants about other collectors, but am flattered by your recent posts about me. You're bringing the fun back to Net54. Seriously.
[But what I wont do is post here every other week insinuating that my way is the right way, and the rest of you suckers are Lemmings.]
Okay. But it's not like I start the anti-PSA threads. When someone else is griping about PSA, I just join in. And, in this case, given that I know and respect Chet, I believe I had that right and, frankly, obligation.
[Scores of PSA collectors…my we are self-adsorbed aren’t we? I can safely say these guys don’t care or loose a minute of sleep regarding your commentaries on the world of PSA and card grading.]
I obviously offended you and I have received strongly worded posts and e-mails from many PSA collectors in the past. That's what I was referring to. I couldn't care less if they care or lose a minute of sleep. I hope they sleep well.
[Your one man quest to wave the banner of SGC, isn’t and will not change anything about the ways these guys collect PSA cards or the way PSA grades them.]
Cool. But I like my banner.
[Yeah we ALL know, once again we ALL get it you like SGC.]
It's true.
I enjoy these little dialogues, but in the future I would prefer if you would be a little less mean in your posts. I don't really think the level of personal animosity in your initial post and replies is commensurate with my comments. I can take it, but I don't think it's fair argument.
Paul: I like SGC and think PSA collectors are lemmings.
Wonka: Paul, you're a bad person, and here are the 7 reasons why. If you keep talking about SGC I will keep talking about how you are a bad person.
Paul: Wonka, I'm not a bad person, I just hate PSA.
Wonka: Paul, you smell funny and I dislike you personally.
Paul: Okay, but what do you really think about me?
