I very rarely poke my head out from behind the curtain to defend someone that I do not know, but I am curious as to why Bruce and his people (whoever they might be) are picked on so much. I understand that the writing style is strange and his references are different, but does it really require such bashing every time he posts? Maybe Bruce deserves what he gets by his actions elsewhere - and if so then nevermind, but it seems that everyone consistently picks on Bruce. I am surprised that he continues to post as he knows that no matter what he says he will probably get slammed for it - or at least made fun of. Maybe I am just having a bad morning. |

if you take your meds regularly. This is a collectors forum not an investment forum. I think I speak for many here who are tired of your ad nauseum focus on money and expense. Take the market talk elsewhere. |

There are all sorts of reasons for participating in this hobby. Some people do it because they love the cards, some people do it because they love the investment angle, some people collect shiny stuff, some people collect 19th century stuff. Whatever. It's a big hobby. |

I do agree Bruce's posts are thought provoking and his knowledge of the hobby goes back thirty years. But I also understand why his writing style ruffles a few feathers. I've often asked him to tone it down a notch, but he writes the way he chooses and not much is likely to change. |

I have been on this forum for about 2 years, and cannot recall ever seeing any scans of Bruce's collection. If you are so proud of your cards, Bruce, why not show 'em off? Back it up, Brother! |

Howard, yes, there is in fact a nefariously evil subculture of rogue memorabilia collectors. They wear capes and communciate only via text messaging while sipping from Gatorade juice boxes. |

You know you are in trouble when the original topic gets derailed immediately and the thread turns into an agenda regarding the poster. It's just too much of a distraction for the board. |

Bruce has sent me scans of several of his cards, including the Four Base Hits, and I have posted them on the board previously. I am at work (whatever I do here?)so don't have the scans to be able to show again....regards |

bruce - instead of sending us out to buy a book to see it, perhaps you could scan in the picture from the book, since the sheet is too big... |

I dislike the tone of some of Bruce's posts, but he generally asks some thought provoking questions. Further, in this post, Bruce was asked to share some info about his collection and he willingly did so - don't then jump down his throat because he doesnt have a scan of a card or, perhaps, doesn't desire to share a scan. |

Let me add that several years ago Bruce asked me to help him catalog his collection, and I spent two days at his apartment with spreadsheets getting it all down. It was actually fun. He really does have some extraordinary items, and while he has sold some of them over the years, he kept his very best ones. |

If one wants a sage thought provoking read about opportunistic risk taking, one can get the book. I don't see the correlation to our hobby Bruce. Are you saying we should approach the hobby/industry/whatever in this same fashion? A large casino table? To quote: "You've got a better chance surviving as a crack dealer in Chicago than lasting four years in the hedge fund business." |

I discovered that Eddie Farrell, who had a 1933 Goudey Card attended Columbia University (my alman mater) for some post-grad courses. Since I am a bit of a completist -- I now need that 1933 Goudey card (or some other card of Farrell for my Columbia collection. |

This (collectibles in general) is one of the few hobbies that money drives it. Other hobbies like gardening, sports, photography, etc,... are more focused on skills & techniques rather than spending money. I'm a really poor slob, but I enjoy this hobby as much as the Mastro's best customers. |

I hear voices where others don't but have not, as of yet, been able to parlay that particular skill into a successful vintage card acquisition paradigm. |

Lots of different ways to enjoy the hobby. Barry--you can enjoy things your way--but it does not mean that Bruce has to step back. Some of us are more competitive than others and it effects everything we do. There is no question that I would not wait in the cab line--but if Al wants to wait in the cab line and chat with people thats fine too--I just want to get there. |
