Honestly I don’t see why all the concern over how this guy spends his money, how he spends his money or who he spends his money with. Who cares? Unless he’s doing deals with you what do you guys care?

“Ease” said it best. Adrian will either become a collector or burn out then sell his cards. I’ve seen about 20 people come on Net54 over the years and do the same thing.

I do agree Adrian doesn’t need a new thread each day for every thought in his head LOL. Adrian only advice I'll give you take it or leave it. Is you share too much detail on your deals.

It’s none of these folks business how you afford or buy your cards that’s your business. If someone asks me “how did you afford that?” or “how or why did you buy that?” I would say let me worry about that. You worry about what you have to pay for and what and why you buy. All the other info is just feeding the sharks to ask more questions…just my 2 cents.

Cheers,

John

I'm liking this older, wiser Wonka.

John- you owe me a visit in NYC.

[wonkaticket]

Older: Check
Wiser: Not so sure

Meet up in NYC: Check, will there be beer?

[MVSNYC]

John...beer you ask?

"I'll tell ya where we'll go. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' bout a little place called... (silently) As-pen."

Mmmmm, California.

I'm sure that's a movie quote that I don't know, but salmon don't really flock. It's the swallows that return to Capistrano each year. But I am interested in knowing where the quote is from ....

I totally understand this reference! There's hope for me yet!

No poll or organized general consensus, but I say ‘Stays’. The toughest part will be if he can keep to an adjustment of threads, posts, et al. And I do not know if he can, and I am relieved I will not have to make that decision. Still, he is what he is, so am I, and so is everybody. I’ve changed from my original stance. If this is the worst thing I will ever have to put up with in my own life, I am blessed. Annoying? Yes. Frantic? Yes. A collector, regardless of how manic? Yes. Starts threads that allow me to upload and discuss my post war vintage in pre war? Yes, Yes, Yes.

John,

I completely agree! The caveat for me is that Adrian has 500+ posts and actually (I could be wrong) hasn't spent ANY money yet or actually have ANY cards in hand!

It's a train wreck waiting to happen, IMHO.
