"......i got no gold in my S.D.B ; but I sure don't want to loose what I got in there to a Presidential/Congressional crock of sheet"


anyone else beside me thinks this guy:

has a few loose screws in his head,

is not playing with a full deck,

is a few french fries shy of a full scoop,

got his bell rung more than once, (maybe he was rooting for TX in AL section)

Here is another one:

"A few words to this fascinating array of people on the CU board...and D.Hall and D. Willis... (and BJ Searls)"


Talk about rubbing it it. Isn't this is what he is trying to say-----> NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH...I made a $$zillion selling my Saints & I'm a happy camper; aren't the rest of you jealous (array of people) gimme a break:

how about a flock of collectors?

how about "yous" forumites?

I'm not sure if the first guy just doesn't know English grammar well or what. Saintie does like to start controversy doesn't he? I wish I had seen his collection though.

...being controversial is one thing, but you noticed he has the nerve to put D. Hall. and D. Willis on the title of the thread? To

me that's like bragging to the senior executive officers of PCGS of his accomplishment, ie can you top what I have done?

TD NUT is doing the same by saying he bought 2 coins at FUN without revealing the coins.

My feeling is I don't gives a rat a** on their coins, how much $$ they have, and what they collect/invest.

Bottom line there are certain members of society that have innate superior personality traits. They can't help how they

act, communicate etc. and are insensitive to how others may perceive their words or actions (some politicians, lawyers

come to mind).

I think I understand what you are saying. Regardless I am interested in the coins those guys buy. I can't afford them and would like to see them.

It is funny how people who make it big sometimes run into problems. Take Tiger Woods and Michael Jackson as examples. They had fame and fortune but ended up doing silly things for no good reason. In the past there was Elvis, Howard Hughes and many others.

On the other hand you have someone like Warren Buffet who is giving away almost all of his great wealth and has lived modestly especially considering how much he could have spent.

I haven't met the people you mention and I also know that sometimes people come across differently in person from their online personality so I reserve judgment.

Not having met either of the two "collector" forumites myself, and only from perusing posts
thru the years have I conjured up, perhaps unfairly, a picture of folks having wealth that
speaks to more of an investment interest, rather than one of our hobby!  I can't help but
recall someone saying words as..."Let them eat cake!"  Well, you know what I mean, yes? No?
