Thank you.

You're mistaken if you thought I was taking Bruce's side. My comment was a general one.

It's on the list. Definitely need to pick it up - and I'm not even a fan of the sets

Now if only somebody would do something similar for T-3...

The problem with doing it with T3 is that, as beautiful a set as it is, it does not have the wide range of variations that OJ's do.

The book released this year on T206 was a perfect example. It was OK, but didn't really tell you anything else you didn't know. In the OJ book, seemingly every page has you saying, "I've never seen that pose before!"

I have never emailed or PM'd Bruce in my life until i responded this nice PM he sent me 2 days ago.

<< START PM >>

"Tom

Wonder if you know anything about the history of the hobby?

We're quite sure our hobby knowledge, education
and collection dwarfs yours.

Sounds to us like you have been breathing too much of that beautiful Jersey air. Perhaps it will shut you and your feeble mind for eternity.

Time for you to head back to work in the sewers."

<< END PM >>


It shows how little he knows about me. It shows even more about him.

Tom- I think that may have been a "missle" that "they" just fired at you
But not to worry, because "they" just closed 20 more deals of the most high grade vintage material known in existance

Our so called expert forgot to publish his rather awful reply.

Of course, it reflects what a low life "Mr. Cherry Hill Puck" is.
If he wishes to make public comments and respond
publicly,we are happy to accommodate him.

He notes we would be scared to confront him in person.

We often step on roaches walking the streets of upper Manhattan
near Yankee Stadium. They are certainly a higher form
of life than he

If the "Cherry Hill Puck" want to make this into war,
we will spare nothing of course, as long it is legal.

However, it is not fair for the Board Members to watch Tom's sad attempt to
battle against us. Thus we will not ever respond to Tom's PMs again.
We hope that this e-mail is the last in a series of attempts to undermine the thread.

Looks like Old Papa Tom has taken one too many pucks to his tiny brain.

Hey Yankeefan, screw the Yankees, eh?

How about Charles Conlon? He was very dedicated to the hobby. I saw him at big shows, small shows, antique shows, flea markets and he was always in the hobby trade papers. What I saw in REA of his collection was very nice and impressive. He was always pleasant and willing to share his hobby knowledge.

I want to thank Bruce for starting this great thread.
