Confession's Of A Lurker

I read the posts on this board on a daily basis. The only reason I don't post more is because I have nothing to add to discussed topics (At least in any knowlegable or intelligent way).
I'm mainly a Non Sport card collector but I have started collecting Old Judge BB cards. So far I have 2 beaters.

Hey Jerry
Don't feel lonely. I don't have anything to add either but still hang out with the guys and girls here. As I have often said, you don't need to necessarily start threads unless you want to.....but every now and then a
"Wow, nice card" or "ooh, that looks neat" kind of keeps you in the game. Good luck in the hunt for cards. For the most part I like cards I think are neat and am a type collector. Basically type collecting is collecting whatever you want to....one of each pre-wwII card series is my goal...take care and don't worry about that other thread....you only expressed your feelings....We can all empathize with that...but as moderator there are some subjects I need to nip in the bud.....otherwise, 400 posts later everyone hates everyone else .

don't worry about what you can add or how intelligent you may sound.


Half of my posts have zero intelligence behind them.
And the other 65% aren't too bright either!




I look forward to your posts.

Well...we've had some pretty strange posts in the past...so I wouldn't worry about saying something profound. We are just a bunch of guys and gals having some fun posting our thoughts.

I never have anything intelligent to add, and that never stops me.

ditto to what Cycleback said-that goes for me as well.
In fact, at home, I will just make stuff up to hear myself talk on occasion.
true story.

I am far from what I would consider an important collector.

My most interesting contribution to this board (aside from the innane chatter about my cousin-ballplayers) is up for grabs between new information on collecting international baseball cards (Australia), and a "Show me your favorite sunset" card contest (for which I could not even pony up a prize)...neither one I would consider terribly earthshattering...so, please don't be shy - post away!

..and yes, if anyone's curious, I am personally offended and disappointed that no one voted for my sunset thread for the HOF.



Edited to Add: I just re-read my post and realized that, the fact that I wrote anything after my first line proves my very point, doesn't it?!?!? Ha!

Welcome, just sorry that you are going to collect Old Judge Cards. More competition.

Jerry, I feel the same way about posting info. Very little, if anything I can add to this group's knowledge.
But in an attempt to "earn my keep", so to speak, I'll post something or add a comment no matter how pointless . But as far as I'm concerned, except for the sometime mean-spiritedness and condescension, it's all fun.

Thanks Leon for being so forgiving. Actually I'm working on a "R" Non Sport Type Set. I have over 100 different so far and then the tough ones begin.
My Old Judge cards are very simple - as many beat up examples as I can buy at the lowest possible price. Two down and an infinity to go.

...and number of your cards has nothing to do with it. I now have less than 100 pre-war cards. But I come here all the time!

Jerry, you have nowhere to go but to descend to our level. Welcome.

Can't go wrong with OJs Jerry! Have you formulated a goal: team, position, etc? Or is it condition only?
There sure ain't much downside to an OJ beater.

No focus as yet. Just plan on getting them as I can afford them.
