E, DanielI don't think Marshall is going to get it so there really is no point in trying to pull him up. He's all the self-absorbed lonely/needy posters from Billy to et.al all rolled into one with a mouth stuck on yammer.
One step forward on everyone's toes and two twinkle toe steps back hoping people will find his bravado bs somehow endearing enough to welcome him into the family.
Aint going to happen Marshall. Dipsticks like you just never know how to stop, even in their most sober moment. And what makes it really amusing is you have absolutely zero idea of the makeup of this board. This isn't a forum for aquarium enthusiasts or pez collectors. It's filled with people from every walk of life and every pay scale but who all understand what it takes to participate.
And it's not noise.
Or payscales.
Or any other bs.
It's about the hobby. It's about people who've spent e-frickin normous amounts of time learning and sharing knowledge you will never see the value in aquiring.
There are judges and lawyers and people who are silly wealthy on this board who are as comfortable talking cards with the bus drivers and postal workers among us as could be. Because we have respect here. A genuine respect gained from understanding life and the really important things like the health of family and friends, and the scandalous enjoyment we all giddily share around these little bits of cardboard. And we can come here and conspiratorily enjoy it with eachother.
There's nothing here for you Marshall, you're not interested in what we do here and what we share. I think you're looking for somewhere to brag and impress and this aint the joint. Every day of the week we get to look at cards that fellow collectors spend $5 to $50,000 and show freely, and enjoy them all equally.
So you're really not in our league anyway. Seriously.
Why don't you just piss off and find some shiny stuff collectors who find your stories impressive? You'll get a lot more interest elsewhere - I promise.
