Try living with multiple mental health issues and trying to fit in...it is no easy task.

This is not a pity party either simply the truth!! Maybe that is funny to you but not for me. I have no family almost, no wife, no kids, no friends (OK I have 1 but he is such a drug addict because he suffers from sever depression that it is like having no friends)...all because of my mental diseases...it is not easy not been like others. But what I do have is my hobbies. If it was not for my hobbies I would most likely be dead or in a mental institution!!!

Oh please, spare me another self-indulgent "woe is me" post. What you've gone through is nothing compared to what I've gone through in my life, I promise you. Yet somehow, even with medical bills that wiped out nearly all of my savings and 401k, and seeing my income cut by more than half, I was able to meet every single obligation I had, and did so without making up a plethora of excuses.

Your behavior, and your actions, do not instill confidence. So while you might seem like a really "swell guy" on the phone, or in some of your posts, in my trained opinion, your words belie something more insidious.

And a mother who had cancer from the age of 8 to 12 and also taking care of her and her puking all over the place. Having my dad falling all over the house and breaking his teeth and face. I spent 20 years of my life almost EVERY day in the hospital for my dad...never had any Christmas or any of that...no one called me on my birthdays. Add that all my friends are either dead or in jail. I had a very bad life...and try my best.

I grew up dirt poor..super bad looking clothes....almost no food...never anyone to say all will be OK. And I am probably missing another 100 things that where messed up in my life. How many of your friends have died in front of you due to been in a bad lifestyle? How many of your friends have you seen commit suicide? Me I have seen a lot of both!!

I don't really want to get involved. But...I thought you said your parent's died when you were young and you were raised by your brother.

I would say ebay at no reserve selling on yer own or with Probstein or PWCC. If you don't want to mess with all the time and fees, I would say Sterling.

I use to work in a office for about 3 years but had to quit because I was declared mentally handicap and could not fit in (even after completing my degree at university)...that was not easy...but I try to stand strong...and battle every day against those who judge me!!!

Just wondering, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?

[buymycards]

Craig, I agree with you about getting away from the internet and working out but Adrian also needs to be careful with that advice.

My problem is that I tend to go overboard on everything. When I first started running in 1978 I loved it so much that I soon became addicted. I had to run every day and pretty soon 5 miles a day wasn't enough. On the weekends I would run 20 miles a day, and then I had to start running marathons. Pretty soon 8 minutes miles wasn't fast enough and even in my late 30's I had my mile time down to 5:00.

When I started biking it was the same way. I did the same thing when I started fishing. I went fishing 4-5 times a week and I was pretty obsessed with it. I'm lucky that I live a mile from the Wisconsin River. Same with golf. I played golf every day for a couple of years. Now it is baseball cards.

I think a lot of us on the board have the same type of personality that I have. I'm trying to back off a little bit. I run a few miles 2-3 times a week, bike 10 miles once a week, work out at the gym twice a week, and I'm thinking seriously about giving up on selling cards and just enjoying collecting for a while.

Thank God that I can channel my energies into my hobbies instead of alcohol or cigarettes or drugs. A sex addiction might be fun!

I'm right there with ya. Was never into drugs though, and alcohol was easier to kick than I thought it would be. Cigarettes are proving tough, but I've never really made much of an attempt to quit. From what I understand, convincing yourself to quit is the hardest part... And Trust me, a sex addiction is fun on the surface, but it can be as much trouble as anything else. Even after kicking it, your mind still wanders and plots, especially with how readily accessible sex/porn is on the internet. And no, I'm not talking about this fake Tiger Woods, self-indulgent, top of the world, excuse for when you get caught crap. Which seems to be the case with most celebrity sex addictions.

Once you get your priorities straight(family, work) it's a matter of finding that glue to fill the voids.. For some it's religion, for me it's baseball/music.

Congratulation to Adrian!! 1000 posts, in what has to be record time!
I think Adrian is a wonderful member of net54. Eccentric perhaps but at least he is not a dried up prune of a curmudgeon like some of you/us constipated old farts. Many happy decades from now, Adrian might just be one of the leading lights of the hobby. I have no doubt that Adrian is a good man. Dave Pierson

Adrian, I think I have posted this concern before several weeks ago. You do not seem like a bad guy to me. You are putting way too much personal information out there on the internet. This is potentially dangerous. In my profession, I defend people charged with crimes. Many are good people who have made bad choices. But, make no mistake, there are some really bad guys out there who could easily track you down based on the information you are volunteering. Smarter people than you have been scammed and/or injured because of personal information like this. There is no reason to let people know how much money you have to spend or how valuable your collection is or to share very personal information about your childhood or health issues that a scammer could use against you. Please be careful.

I guess that I have missed an installment or two of this soap opera. Adrian, why are you selling this cards? I thought you said you were collecting long term.

Yikes.

Every day there is some drama on Net54, and every time it involves Adrian. At some point it needs to stop.

Adrian -- too much information in my opinion. Many of us have personal issues that we don't air in public.

[asoriano]

Nevermind, not worth it...

[Zone91]

I am selling these 3 cards to put the money towards my 52 Topps set and my Mantle master set. The only T206 card that I will be keeping is my Red Murray error card (Murr'y). I find the Murray card to cool of a card to sell I enjoy owning it!! I just can't afford the T206 set and the 52 Topps set at the same time....maybe years from now I will go back to the T206 set.

@MIke: He's now strictly focusing on a 52T set and a Mantle master set, and selling the others.

@Maniac: He sold a very valuable coin not long ago.

C'mon you two. Keep up!
