T206 green portrait Cobb centering....SURVEY....updated

I clearly understand that. Seems to me that things are being taken a little too seriously. I guess I can choose not to read this thread if it bothers me. I've been collecting T206's for about 2 years and have approx 40% of the set in psa/sgc 4.5ish condition (not that it matters) and while I'm actively searching for cards everyday I guess I am just not that into it to the point where all this he said/he said stuff is that interesting.

iwantitiwinit,

Sounds like you a very nice collection T206's are great. You have to really look past the he said she said stuff it may appear on the surface as that but this goes deeper.

This is about treating other collectors on their thoughts and views with a level of courtesy regardless if said person has been collecting 2 years or 30+ years we all can have an input.

More importantly any info presented on here should be solid and not tweaked to make one collector look smarter than others or prove just one collectors statement. This is about info being correct so that new collectors can follow and have faith in collecting or starting projects.

It's a shame if info presnted here is incorrect and then tweaked as fact and taken as gospel it could really send folks off on a wild goose chase.

That's the bigger picture here.

Yes there's a bit of a pissing match and ego thing going on here I'd be the first to admit it.

But that doesn't take away from the fair points made by all.

Cheers,

John

Hey John
The rules clearly state-

Things you may not post:
Personal information including but not limited to: Phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, etc… should not be posted, unless given permission by the person whose information you are posting. Personal emails and/or correspondence should not be posted on the board, except with approval from the moderator and only under extraordinary circumstances.

I edited out the personal emails from your post. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am not taking sides but will say this stuff needs to cease soon, please. thanks much

Fair enough Leon. I take it the phone call with Ted was long…

Leon for the record I'm sure by accident you also edited half of my statements above that had nothing to with the email. As well as my images…I will correct if ok?

Just to be clear lying to board members. Posting fraudulent comments and or insinuating things about other members without having the courage to say ones name. Creating elaborate offline conspiracies that don’t exist mentioning and or implicating other board members in said conspiracies to other forum members with no proof of such conspiracy. Insulting fellow members for their inputs or collecting history, ragging on fellow members with comments like moron, idiots, graded card fools etc. offline while seeking thier approval and support online. Making up bogus information and passing it off as fact under the guise of an expert, and or plagiarism of other folks information are all acceptable practices. Fair enough.

I have mended my post above to be more in lines with the rules.

I also see from Ted's post (which is not edited) above it is ok to paraphrase emails am I correct here Leon.

I will paraphrase, that should be ok since you're not taking sides.

Cheers,

John

Holy cow guys! I declare a 15 round split decision!

It was absolutely ONLY my intention to edit out emails. You can certainly post anything else and I apologize for wiping some of the post out. I now realize it was interspersed with your rebuttals. Images are fine too...I laugh at most of them, even the ones about me.

edited to say that paraphrasing is mostly ok...it's just those cut and pasted emails that are not permitted. That being said wouldn't it be good enough left alone? I am not saying not to comment anymore because I really believe folks should get to say what they want to, per the rules, when their name is in their post or sig line, but we all get it I think.

I see you put much of it back....but it's not emails so is fine by me, as far as "rules" go.
