America's Toughest Want List Smoking Hot

3) As for Want List acquisitions- Bottom of the Ninth put your money where mouth is. We'll put $10,000 tonight in escrow and give you the names and invoices from the dealers we obtained the cards. If we prove correct we get the money, if not you get it. The Bottom of His Ninth's demise would be cause for a national celebration, indeed.

4) Finally, most of you critics have never seen and will never be able to afford most of the items we have. So go play with your "beaters.,"and call it a day.

No matter whether or not you are who you say you are, you're a dick.

Who the Hell are you to attack the members of this forum declaring for them to go "play with your beaters"? For the most part, a lot of collectors collect to have the card, not have the condition.

Frankly, I do not think that anyone takes you as serious as you take yourself and/or gives two shits about you and your ridiculous statements.

Seems that Mr. Yankeefan51 has thin skin as well.

I received this PM last evening that solidifies my thoughts:
-------------------------------------------------------
"From: Yankeefan51

Subj: Bowled over by your analysis.

We do hope that you have finished "playing with your beater," and that the results have not ruined too many of your "A" and PSA 1 graded cards

Secondly, you might consider acquiring a book called
"Elements of Style." Perhaps, next time you attempt to communicate, you will realize that your sentence should read "no one takes you as seriously as you take yourself."

As for your remark about elite positioning, we were wondering if you were available to clean the toilets
in our office. You can begin work after you have quenched your thirst drinking from the soiled bowls.

Clearly someone does give a "s---" "

-------------------------------------------------------

Clearly, you are a conceited prick with no social skills.

Good day.

This jackass should be banned. How long are we collectively going to let this go on? This guy comes on here and insults everyone, even those who help him by allegedly selling him cards. This is supposed to be a community but when one person clearly gets more enjoyment from coming here to insult people then he does for the purpose of this forum its time for him to leave.

Last week a nice guy got banned from B/S/T because he repeatedly, with good intentions, got in over his head on deals. Yet this guy is allowed to insult for years simply because he has a quality collection and a few more bucks than others?

In the past he has in the minimum sent sexually insulting emails to members, sent insulting put-down emails to members, and posted publicly about how worthless the masses are here, all while diddling his raisins in a corner with a smile on his pumpkin face (we already know he isn't interested in women).

I am guilty myself of commenting on this humpty dumpty too many times and for that I apologize to the community. I know I have no weight here either but I certainly didn't start coming here to read this guys nonsense. Friendly jabbing is one thing but this guy is a bad egg.

I don't care what kind of collection he has, its time for him to go.

This thread should now be locked. Bruce stated above that he was successful in obtaining some cards from his original posting, so it has served its purpose.

Lets get back to buying, selling, and trading tobacco cards on this part of the board.

I have never had a single dealing with Bruce and surely will not ever. But, I believe some of the masses are through with their dip in the "sea." I hope they will soon voice their opinions. Controversy is good entertainment, But an individual how is nothing more than abrasive, insulting, & threatening really should be examined by the moderators. This thread was started with an unwarranted stab at 95% of the members of this community, myself included, and the counter attacks keep coming. Leon, Peter C. also claimed to have an exclusive collection, annoyed most members, and went off on tangent threads...where is he, again? Why the silence? If Bruce has sent the hate emails some here have mentioned, why is he allowed to still have a pressence on the board? I believe if he wished my home to burn or my children to die, I would be compelled to do more than email him or post a thread with my concerns. Just a thought...

I am really getting over this guy. I love to check the BST, but every time I have looked recently it's this thread on the top. If I was selling something right now I would be pretty pissed. Let's just move on from this thread, PLEASE!

I am great, the World shall fear me
for I am the best and you will see.

By way of my superior collection and cards
you will lay down or be split in to shards.

Now out of way oh little "beater" collector
because I am the great card dictator.



Generated for your laughter and to prove a point. Cards are just that, cards. When you become more in your mind than the people represented on the card itself, you should be full of shame because you have obviously lost the point of collecting.

Regards, Dan.

Here are a few points about Bruces and this thread. First of all I do consult with the other moderators on most of these issues (lock threads, ban people etc...). That being said it has always, and will always, be this board's policy to try not to intervene when at all possible. I truly think people should be able to hang themselves if they want to. It's their call. There is no absolute anonymity on the board anymore so it's not like anyone can hide behind a keyboard and not be known. If you think so then you can just read this thread and see what I mean.
I hate censorship on almost any level. As for Brandon getting banned from the BST, it was his own fault, he admittedly has an issue. I am sure the lawyers on the board can chime in but when someone gets "sentenced", AND they say they agree with the punishment and it's for their own good, I don't think there can be a stronger statement made.
What we/I won't tolerate is private hate emails HOWEVER, if everyone is piling on then I am slow to act on those other emails. No doubt Bruce does this for attention and he gets it. The one thing I don't like is the fact that other good BST threads in this category get bumped down due to the constant posting. For that reason I am going to lock this thread later this evening so we can move on and the other threads get exposure. I am leaving it open until then for further comment. Agree or disagree but those are my thoughts on the subject. They haven't really ever changed from day 1. best regards
