Who are the top 10 living vintage BB card experts?

"Dan McKee has shared more information with me than anyone else I can think of. I do get to hang out with him more than most but it seems every time we hang out, mostly at shows I learn something."

I have also hung out with Dan at shows but have never been able to learn too much, mostly because I have never been to a show early enough to catch him sober.

See my young Jedi, you are not learning because you are not seeing the information.

I have tried to teach you that being Sober is overrated!

My top expert, that I would match up against anyone living or not, who I have learned an absolute TON from:

John Rumeriez

John- that was funny stuff. The other videos in that snapshot are quite funny too.

As for most knowledgeable collectors I have to agree with what has been said. There are quite a few collectors who have specialties of which they know more about than almost anyone. Overall, Mark M, Rob L, John Rumeriz, Lew L and Kevin Struss are among the very knowledgeable. I am sure I am forgetting quite a few too....

It's the classic dilemma. You can keep hold of the 12-pack or stand up, but not both.

There you go - I think we can now have the kind of outcome that the original poster was looking for.

I find Ted's list particularly interesting because based on what I've read on this board, I have no earthly idea whether or not he's right or wrong. I can not argue with any of the names Ted has listed. I do; however, see many names missing from his list that should be there.

The great thing is that it just doesn't matter. These sort of lists are good for only one thing: creating trouble.
