Okay, sounds good.
"You posted your ebay handle (I'm not sure why)"
Force of habit. I also post regularly on a UCLA Bruin fansite under the handle of aaron1050, which is also (as you've seen) my E-Bay handle.
"and I checked but couldn't find anything vintage-baseball related that you had bought;"
Yeah, I've been focusing my attention (and dough) on the winter catalog auction season lately. I was actually going to ask the board if they'd be interested in having a thread to everyone recapping their results (what they won, what they lost out on, how would they rate the service, how would they rate the website, how long did it take to get your stuff, etc.).
If you want to check more of my track record for the past three months, view the individual transactions in my feedback. I'll warn you that you'll see an "eclectic" array of items I've sold since October. It was a cleaning out the closet, out with the old and in with the new. (Actually, it was more like my wife instructing me to clean out space in her storage [re: extra clothes] closet, but why quibble?)
"however, I noticed you sell baseballs."
Just the two of late. I won the mint 1920's ONL Spalding on Lelands, so I sold the one it was replacing. (Your classic upgrade.) The Frick was just superfluous to my collection. I already have a mint Frick w/ vintage Musial signature and mint Giles w/ box on display and thought that was enough. I'm trying to stick with the philosophy that if it ain't on display with the rest of my collection, it gets sold. Nothing gets put in storage anymore.
"So I will start a post as well, somehow related to vintage baseballs, and I challenge you to give a serious response without getting personal."
Well, I think I just did.
