that if any such investment group or hedge fund were to take on such an endeavour, they would hire someone with significant knowledge in the hobby to be their chief advisor (hopefully not Bruce, that would just garner too much board energy/animosity). |

There's much better ways of making fun of the Dorskind group if that's all I wanted to do. In his own post, he states that dealing with these funds is inevitable. Is it? Is it a good thing? I think it's not. Thanks for explaining my motivations to me, though. I guess my righteousness is matched only by your arrogance. Maybe we can be a "We", too? |

George has to close up shop anyway. George is getting busy. George has to work sometimes or he won't even be able to buy those 90 Leaf Sammy Sosas to fill himself up with. (Disturbing image, by the way.) |

George was master, but not the guy he replaced. That guy developed arthritis and crippled his hand from...well, you know from what. That episode was also the debut for Jerry Stiller as Frank Costanza- the scene where he tells George about his silver dollar collection was his very first. I love Seinfeld trivia. |

I think NYC is extremely expensive and there is too much red tape to deal with. Plus, hotels are prohibitive and that would scare promoters away, fearing poor out of town turnouts. They used to have one at the Armenian Church in the 80's as others have cited, but for numerous reasons they just disappeared from NYC. |

And there were two Lloyd Brauns- the first one who got George an appointment with Mayor Dinkins doctor was different from the second, played by Matt McCoy. I guess they hoped the audience wouldn't notice this. Several other examples of two actors playing the same role occur on the show- such as Phil Bruns playing Jerry's father for one episode before he was permanently replaced by Barney Martin. |

Ok, assuming for the sake of discussion that anyone would be stupid enough to invest in such a fund post-Ohio, how would it really play out? If your fund manager was charged with the task of buying only the "best" cards, how would he figure out which definition of "best" to follow? Would it be "best grade" or "rarest card"? Would he buy a PSA 10 1952 Mantle instead of a Western Playground set? Would a T206 Wagner be considered "better" than a group of E107 HOFers costing about the same? How would they possibly price rare items, other than by guessing or topping everyone else at auction? And selling, how could that happen? There isn't any exchange for these things. They'd either have to form their own auction house, do private sales, or work with the auction houses (paying a hefty "load" in return in the form of the commissions and BP). |

I think having a fund that invests in cards is an interesting concept--he would buy and sell just like stocks--buy the blue chips like a Mantle PSA10 or the ungraded dogs--wherever the best value was for the money. |

Jeff, it's no fun when it's this easy. Besides, the last time I got into it with His Royal Majesty, he threatened to have me killed. All emails have been kept and my local authorities have been notified of his threats in case something unusual happens to me. I, or should I say we, warned him that if he ever threatened me again that the apropriate autorities in his area would be notified of all threats he has made against me. |

One of the first things I learned in this hobby is there is no right or wrong way to collect. If we could all just take that to heart the board would be a more harmonius place. PSA-8 is not better than PSA-1; it's just different. |

Well, Barry, if you could take that PSA 8, sell it and buy 100 PSA 1's with the proceeds, I would say that indeed, that PSA 8 is far better than the PSA 1 ! |

Doesn't anyone remember back in the 80's when David Hall (I think that's the original PSA guys name), actually tried to create securities to sell on Wall Street that were backed by baseball cards. Tony (Galovich), if you're reading this, I think I remember you being initially involved. Do you remember what ever happened to the idea back then? But since there are no securities around today, I'm betting it didn't work then and it won't work now. |

The truth is New York is a real nickle and dime town when it comes to collectibles. It's a suprisingly great flea market city, with a good cross section of merchandise, but there are very few upscale shows for a reason. |
