Here’s my take on Phil.

I think Phil is an overzealous investor into this hobby. We know he likes to play with Gold. He also seems to like the Mad Money type approach to talking about his investments… super hype and over discussion etc.

I think Phil is under the impression that if he can discuss something such as one brand back ad nauseum his purchase will grow in value before his own eyes. I think folks like Phil really think this stuff trades on huge swings up and down. When in fact for the most part most all cards trade in relatively known values with very little in the way of huge swings that is unless one holds them for years and years. There are a few exceptions but not many.

I also think Phil is spending big bucks for Phil (nothing wrong with that) even perhaps spending a bit out of his comfort zone? Perhaps having multiple discussions on the board with the same round about message helps justify the purchases. And validate what he’s doing.

With that said most folks on here are horrible card investors as we are collectors and since most folks cards aren’t for sale…it makes it hard to turn a profit. LOL

Most folks also are here to learn and need very little in the way of validation for purchases; very few of us would drop our collection because we had a few bad days on a chat board.

Just my two cents.

Rob makes an excellent point. If everywhere you go it's you against the world, maybe the world isn't the problem.

Take half the time you invest in defending yourself and spend it reflecting on how the board views your tone and with a little tweaking you may contribute without it evolving into something other than a discussion about vintage baseball cards.

I once learned that, when playing poker, if you've played more than three hands and haven't figured out who the sucker at the table is...


It's you.

He only irritates you because you guys keep poking the bear with a stick.... leave him alone and i am sure he will be less annoying to you.

All seems kinda silly to me, on both sides of the fence. Every guy wants the last word, and it just keeps the ball rolling!

Now im going back to my corner and hiding.........

I'm actually not convinced you're not a troll. Perhaps the perfect troll. So annoying that you ruin the board for everyone, but nothing so over-the-top to warrant getting banned outright.
