New Year's Resolutions�Pile Them On!!

This is a tough one because all my cards are Mickey Mantle. They are all iconic. I lost them all in a fire so you should all be sorry for my loss. They were all harshly under graded, under valued, and under appreciated. They deserved at least a full grade bump.

None of that is true. But hopefully I covered all the bases

My New Years resolution has always been to not have one. I have always kept it too. Other than that, franks for sharing (is that better?)

Resolution: Get over the cold I picked up this morning just in time for nephew's wedding. I think I'm allergic to marriage.

My New Year's Resolution is to start posting names of Non Payers.

As much as it seems to frustrate you, when Mickey Mantle baseball cards are discussed, all sorts of collectors chime in with a variety of responses.

When Dean Chance passed away last year, there were but a few of us who had something to say. There was a rousing discussion going on last fall in the WATERCOOLER TALK ABOUT WHO IS MORE FAMOUS---HACK WILSON OR NELLIE FOX.

So-a, who would you like for us to discuss, anyway? Name three players that you would dearly love to see threads of? In fact, Jolly 'Ol Elm, why not intiate all three yourself? Just please keep the player in his appropriate section, and I will endeavor to chime in with something, and not mention The Commerce Comet, leaving him for all the other threads!

I'm quite restricted now on the kind of cardboard I can buy. So, my responses come from being in the hobby since roughly 1961, pulling baseball and football cards from wax packs and cellos back in those years, mail ordering baseball and hockey from a pair of venerable trading card dealers, and attending some major shows from 1972 - 1980, and one in 1988.

Remember Jolly, though you hate it, people will respond and start threads about who interests them, and THE MIGHTY MICK continues to be at or near the top. Keep punching regarding the other guys who played.

However, when someone loses someone dear to them, even if we pretty much say the same thing, at least we show that we care. If that bugs you, tough tootzies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ---Brian Powell
