To share or Not to share ??

I don't know you Hal, but appreciate seeing your cards - please keep posting. Its hard to understand why anyone would think that any of us posting scans of seldom seen vintage baseball cards on this site is not appropriate.

I appreciate your taking the time to scan and share your pictures with us. These are cards I might never get to see and I enjoy viewing them. Many times I've looked at the PSA registry hoping to find a scan of a card I'm interested in, only to find that the collector has "hidden" his set or has not posted a scan. Many of the recent PSA Awards went to sets that are "hidden" which is ridiculous. I, personally, usually scan every card I have in my Registry sets. Please keep showing us your cards.

A quick second to what Frank said - my meager Registry sets all have scans. For those of us with limited budgets the only way we'll see a lot of these cards is online - Old Cardboards galleries, the Registry's and this forum. This is particularly true for us small town hicks - I live in Williamsburg, VA and there are no big card shows with vintage anything here....again, please keep posting.

Hal,
Without sifting throught the 100+ responses to this thread I am sorry if my sentiments are repetative. I think it is great that you brag and show. You obviously have more $$ to spend than most of us. In my opinion though, the fact that you do share and brag makes you less snobby. Its an honor for me to be able to correspond with someone who owns a T206 Wagner. You are very open to opinions and correspondence. This is opposed to someone that is rich and finds it vulgur to be with the masses. I would just like to say thanks and your sharing is a-okay in my book!

Dan,

I meant no ill will. I was making a poor attempt at a joke. Larry the Cable Guy I am not. I will say that I've been robbed twice and they left the artwork and baseball cards. They stole a $10 radio alarm clock, my tv and my cd collection. Take Care

I do not support the opposing view. Please be reassured that we recognize that through your actions each of us enjoys our hobby more.

I got a bit of an ego boost seeing a card that I had sold to Hal is displayed on his website. It's far from being among the most valuable of the cards which are displayed, but I would have had it hidden away if I really collected vintage Baseball cards.

I love that Hal has a website. Please continue to share !!!

I've never met Hal & never really corresponded with him, but the thing that I've gathered from his posting on this forum is that he would never put me (or any other collector) down just because, say, I'm in the market for a REALLY POOR condition of say, a Hank Greenberg rookie card because that's all I could afford.
