No. But why have more than a couple cards?

I've been thinking about this. Hoarding cards is certainly not illegal, I don't even think it's unethical. But the more I consider this the more I agree with Bill, this is a complete "jerk" move.

Very similar to being first in line at a wedding buffet and taking all the shrimp. While that's certainly desirable, we don't do it because it's a "jerk" move.

sometimes if there is just a few shrimp left...if someone takes the rest its a courtesy to the rest of the patrons because then the restaurant will come out with a fresh batch which they wouldn't of if there were still a few lingerers in the pan...works with ribs as well..

Apples to oranges comparison, in your own peculiar shrimp-to-ribs sort of way.

See, this is a perfect example of why I love Net 54. Oh, sure, there's the wonderful baseball card talk, the eye candy, the occasional bat sh#t crazy person that wanders in, and the entertainment they provide. But on top of all that, this place goes a long way towards improving my vocabulary. How many places can you indulge your hobby addiction, and expand upon your command of the English language? And the best part? All this fun is free.

I think we should have a "douchecanoe" Hall of Fame

I nominate Bruce Marshall Barkman, Adrian and this guy!!!
Capital idea! Let's not forget Peter Nash, too. We can at least include him in the vote, right? He may have to wait for the Veteran's Committee, but I like his chances to eventually get in.

Are those the original theatrical releases, Eric, or the ones where George Lucas went in and tinkered? Tell me Andrew still shoots first.

This thread is turning into an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And, I love it.

Default Douchecanoe

This douchecanoe is up a river without a paddle.
I am still not sure what a stealth account is but I am bracing myself

The threads were presented in their original theatrical version, without the benefit of Lucas remastering them.

Best,

Eric

When we create the National Douchecanoe Hall of Fame, should Cole receive one induction, for himself, or separate inductions, for each of his "stealth" accounts? I was going to leave it to the BBWAN54 (Baseball Writers Association of Net54) to decide, but then I thought it might be best to not involve the writers. Especially since they always miss a few who should be in, and vote in a few who should be out .

Plus they always let their personal feelings about the person get in the way of their job. No one should be left out of the DCHOF simply because of a positive encounter here or there. If you deserve it, you're in! Simply as that.

For the Sabrmetricians, will there be stats to judge worthiness of entry? For instance, who has the highest WAR? Andrew, Bruce, Cole, Adrian? Or is a criteria how many times Leon has to intervene in the posts or outright ban them?

I am surprised no one has mentioned Peter Chao. There were some interesting threads until he got banned by Leon. In an attempt to create a safe transparent environment for the BST - I think it was his suggestion that all BST transactions go through Leon for payment & shipping that got him banned...... Right Leon?

I am not sure about that but can't imagine it. I don't want almost anything coming through me (the board) except for the few ads and things like that. What people do on here, in a professional manner, is their own business. Leave me out of it, please.

It is a little disappointing he was getting the autograph on a $500 bill rather than a Bartirome card

Until I had read that article, I never knew there was such a thing as a $500 bill. For that reason alone, I like that it wasn't a '52 Bartirome that was getting autographed!
