Dan McKee is a Star

Sadly Irv, I do not read well at 54 years old and a Redneck

But I truly hope you do not think I am near the scumbag Battlefield is.

I am a collector at heart and pride myself on good business.

Sorry I missed your follow up posts

I used to thrive on here, probably started more crap than I should have and was a real asshole at times.... Now I am old and too thin skinned to come back, kinda sad as I could really bring a lot of quality knowledge about the 1987 Topps set that I specialize in.

Damn and the 1987 Topps is in my 64th favorite Topps set.

Dan,

I have always wondered what kind of wood is used in the borders of the 1987 Topps set.

My gut says oak, but I wouldn't rule out bamboo (though that species wasn't as trendy 30 years ago.)

I always thought 1968 was basket weave.

I've only Purchased one item from Dan in the past and it was one of the best transactions . He had a card listed in his Darby's eBay store that I really wanted as a buy it now ,but was out of my price range. His listing included a make an offer option. After contacting him he gave me a very fair price and also allowed me to pay it off in 3 installments . Since the card was very rare and ungraded I was unsure if it was altered and told him I was sending it to a grading co.to in -case it for protection. He concluded our transaction by telling me not to worry that if the card did not get a numerical grade I could send it back for a full refund. The card came back with a favorable grade . Truly amazing customer service and a pleasure to deal with.

Dan the man! One of the true real guys of the hobby and in the top class of knowledge here in the board. One of my favorite cards he sold me two decades ago was a Joe DiMaggio Zeenut card with coupon and he was flexible on price which I appreciated. Plus, he is a great buyer as he doesn't even haggle that much which I feel is a lost art. Dan is like EF Hutton of the stock market. When Dan talks, collectors should listen. I know I do and I'm thankful to have him as a longtime friend.

It was made from wood grain paneling stripped from the basement of a 1960's home or old medical office in a TB ward.

There is a thread on the autograph forum about the 1987 Topps Baseball set that may be one of the most fascinating threads on this entire forum. And I'm not even kidding.

[frankbmd]

Dan,

I agree with you. As a 1987 Topps specialist, I have asked only you a question on Net54 and all I get is a bunch of fodder from a half a dozen other yahoos.


or is it 7 or 8 yahoos by now?

No worries, Dan. My soon to be 53 yr old eyes aren't much better.
