Learned a lot from reading your card postings and if you stick to this decision, Ted, you will be missed. Best to you, whatever path you choose. |

I'll miss your posts Ted. I agreed with 98% of what you said....which is more than I do with most. Come back when, and if, you want to. The T206 discussions won't be the same without you. Hope you make it to the National too and I look forward to meeting you someday....best regards |

I think most everyone here who posts a lot gets to that point where we wanna say "no more." Its probably good to just take a break for a few days and see how you feel then. Take care, and of course happy collecting. |

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... |

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. |

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 !! |

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. |

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. |

If you are going to dish out strong opinions, you should have thick enough skin to expect strong opinions back and if someone crosses the line, well just freaking IGNORE them and they will go away, or make light of it. |

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. |

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. |

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. This board will go one without most of us without a hitch. |

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. |

Ted, enjoyed most of your postings. But I can't understand why when someone decides to leave the board, they have to announce it. 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. I guess I don't worry about what other posters or lurkers think when I post something on the board. |

I'm sure that T-Rex didn't leave just because of what you said. I'm sure it was a culmination of slights real and imagined which led to his departure. From this thread I'm sure he realizes that we want him back when he's ready to come back. |

I don't mind people letting others know that they are leaving and why they are leaving. Someone brought it up earlier and I've been wondering too why Frank Ward stopped posting here. 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. |

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. |

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? |

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. |
