Can I get some objective opinions on the East Coast National show in August ? How much vintage material is there ? How much shiny stuff ? How many dealers ? Are they the same ones that do Ft. Washington ? Bottom line -- is it worth going to ? Thanks very much. |

It depends on what you are looking for. I used to go to these shows religiously a few years ago because they used to have excellent vendors and plenty of them. There is a lot of non-vintage material there, but in recent years I think there are fewer and fewer dealers with quality pre-war merchandise there. |

Rolls eyes Please Adam, you need not need to put your foot in your mouth like you so often do. It is getting frustrating. Sure, Paul Blair is not in the HOF, but he was a cog, a centerpiece do the Orioles dynasty from 1966-1971. He is not Mr. Stats, but his defense was amazing, and his HR to win game 3 of the 1966 World Series is still revered in Orioles land. Hardly a "no name". Denny McLain, 30 game winner, 1968 World Series, enough said. |

Without drifting too far off topic, I'd like to respond to the last post. You don't grow up following Tiger Baseball and not know who Denny McClain is and I will add, Mickey Lolitch. Hometown heros! |

Don't bash Adam too hard...after all in a few years he will be defending such "stars" as Adam Kennedy, Dave Roberts, and Kirk Gibson who he "grew" up seeing win big games with big plays...they may not be HOFers but still stars of the time and when some punk kid mouths off that the signatures Adam so desires are worthless as the memories they generate he will finally understand... |

I have too gone in the past and found similar experiences. I usually pick up a little something for the collection, but since it's not that far of a drive, worth the while. |

I didn't want to be the first to jump on Adam since I do not post here often, but I was very tempted on many times. How can you slam a show you've never been too? Have you ever been to a show? I doubt it by the way you talk. You don't go to shows, you do not buy or sell on Ebay, yet you have an opinion about everything. Even the guys on CU are cutting up your BS. I saw one of your responses on CU asking who Mike Wentz is. If you have to ask that, you have no knowledge what so ever of who is actually reading or responding to your stupid posts and who you are trying to fool with your ridiculous statements. N54 is a friendly place but i think the welcome mat is showing some scuffs. Jim F |

Scotty Ingold, I am, glad that I could humor you. Try not to have too much of a "hard day" at your cushy,"office job" where you prolly sit in front of a computer all day, and do squat. Levine, "punk kid", Ah Josh, reality check, aren't we close to the same age?(24/25) . I was actually being serious about my post. Other than Mclain, Colavito, and Foster I HAVE NOT heard of the other guys. Who were they? Why in the hell is Colavito being billed as a H.O.F er? What are his fees so high? McLain ONE F!@#$% CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT IN 1968. WTF guys. ALL of the autographs I have are ALL H.O.Fers or FUTURE H.O.F.ers.. NO ONE HIT WONDERS! |

Adam, seriously, I wonder why you bother to speak when you really can be clueless. How can you claim to be a baseball fan and not know who Paul Blair and George Scott are? One hit wonders? Rocky Colavito is a stiff? Was Frank Howard a stiff too? Denny McLain is laughed at? Not only was he the last guy to win 30, but he won a couple of Cy Youngs and an MVP. Doesn't this stuff mean anything to you? |

Gee, what a surprise net54 members login to psa message board with different user names and talk ****. WHY? just because I like quality cards and autographs instead of **** that would be sitting in my fireproof safe for years, or a ball signed by some no-name schmo on display for years because NO ONE wants to buy the ****. Good luck selling a ball signed by Paul Blair and George Scott. (Adam Smirks)By the way, who came up with the idea that I buy 1951 Bowmans PSA 7 or higher. Oh Yeah, another smartass joke. I'd rather have a 1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 7 or higher, than a T-206 H.O.F. PSA 1 (NOT including Wagner, Plank,) WHY??? IT WOULD GENERATE MORE INCOME AT AUCTION. I AM IN IT FOR THE $$$$ GUYS! You guys spout-off about collecting because of your "love for the hobby".I say BULL!@#$ , I see the scans of cards you guys have. Your NOT fooling anyone, It's all about the MONEY these damn cards would bring in, IF consigned to MASTRO, CHRISTIES OR SOTHEBYS. |

Adam - "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt." At no time has this phrase rang more true. This was quote is attributed to the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, and Albert Einstein. Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest President's of our country and helped emancipate the slaves, Mark Twain is considered one of the best writer of all time (maybe you know him as Samuel Clemens), and Albert Einstein is regarded as one of the most intelligent people in history. I state this because you seem to not know one single person who is discussed on this board. |

My Denny McClain rookie card I had autographed in 1989 means more to me than most of my other "high dollar" cards do. I'd be surprised if anyone offered me $20 for the card, but for $20 I'll show it to you and tell you all about the day that 11 year kid got to meet Denny McClain and Lou Boudreau. |

First off, I am not 24 and 25...I am 33. People around here do not know my history very well but I want you to understand something. I love baseball. The memories I have with my grandfather and father are worth more to me than my SGC 20 Cobb Red Portrait (yes, I do have one and plan to sell it but to people I respect). The memories that people have of the players you bashed are precious to them. Ever wonder why guys like VanderMeer, Dooin, Chase, Frank Howard, Don Larsen, Bobby Thompson, Johnny Pesky, etc. are still popular today? It is because of the memories. People love memories like you love money. I know this may be hard for you to grasp but it happens. Would you trade the memory of your daughter being born for a Million Dollars? Of course not (at least I hope not). |

Back in 2000 when I was 24, I took a look in person at John aka Wonkaticket's card collection at a shop I worked for. I was in awe, I have never seen such a collection in my life. What was even cooler than that were the stories behind it, and how his collection was self-made, even at a young age. I went home, looked at my meager 20 G-VG t206 cards and thought they were nothing. HOWEVER, I have changed, and I wouldn't trade my collection for anyones. I'm still around 20 t206 commons, but it is my collection and effort, I love baseball, and I love my collection. I have been fortunate enough to learn from some very wise collectors. There are more than a few people on this board who have "million dollar" collections. More than I could ever attain. They have Old Judge HOFers everywhere, I have my one example. The best part about these very wealthy people is how humble they are. Their treasure is in baseball and the time invested in their collection. You can't take any money or cards with you to your grave. However, you can take what you've passed on, and the legacy you left. Respect is something that should be given to everyone. It is not to be "earned" by whatever weird criteria you might come up with. Civility and kindness are timeless attributes. How much better are you than another person that they have to fit some mind-numbing criteria. I remember John handed out a t205 common to some little kid at the shop that day, it absolutely made his day? John showed respect to that kid, and that kid will remember that. He taught me a valuable lesson that day. |

This show is going to be a lot different than in the past because Gloria Rothstein is out of the picture. A lot of dealers have told me that they are thrilled she is gone and know that others will return. So, I am expecting a lot of vintage dealers this time around. We'll see... |

Yeah, but Feller can't make any of us any money - unless he delivered a Ryder truck full of signed 8x10s to us and let us liquidate them; and even then we'd probably only make enough money to buy a month's worth of landscaping in East Hampton. |

"Add that to your little message board post, *******s" is not an opinion. It is a further spurious comment that we are all growing very sick and tired of. Every time you make a statement that we are all a part of the Network54 community, a shiver goes up my spine because you include yourself in that community. |

You know, all I care about is money. Who cares about Bob Feller, his autograph only sells for a couple of dollars. He is nothing but an investment to me. Seriously, you didn't get the point which doesn't surprise me. You are a walking/talking contradiction. If you step back, regroup, and come back and try to learn something, and be humble about it, the folks here will probably welcome you with open arms. However, I fear that won't happen. |

that Adam can not distinguish between two different people. Josh K. made the statements. I am talking about respect. To answer your statements anyway...your opinions are welcome as long as they are set in a way that is not offensive to the general populace of the board. If you had said , "I am not attending the White Plains show because I have no interest in the autograph guests," things would have been far different. But you choose to voice your opinions (again) in a very negative and rude way. (I now feel like I am talking to my first grade class and teaching a lesson in civility) |

i agree with jlevine here 100%if an opion is expressed about things in a civil manor there is no problem.but a totally ignorant post over something/someone one knows nothing about is not right. any player who made it to the major leagues (or minors) deserves the respect of a poster on a board that is in fact all about the game of baseball. |

That you think George Scott and Paul Blair are "no-namers" or "common players" perfectly demonstrates your lack of baseball knowledge. Just because a player isn't in the Hall of Fame hardly makes him "common". |
