    Old time member memories

    What's up, dudes? I'm still lurking and still collecting. And still selling from time to time to finance a taste for luxurious wine and bourbon barrel aged stouts... Those old message board days provided endless entertainment. I'll always be grateful for the friends made.

    Cool story here, especially for those who go back to the old BMB's..

    Ain't that the truth. I still have an old e-mail account full of BMB e-mails circa 2004 through 2008. The best is an especially hate-filled HOF Veteran's Committee exchange with a bunch of us from Feb. 2008. What's the statute of limitations on posting that stuff (with names withheld to...

    COMC Sales tax now? This for everyone!

    The entire determination of who is required to collect sales tax changed completely with the Wayfair case in the US Supreme Court last year. It is a sea-change from the old physical presence requirement under the old Quill case. We are heading to a point (and probably are already there) where...

    How is Craig Kimbrel still not signed to a team? (Update 6/5: Signed with Cubs)

    There's a lot of truth spoken in this thread. Kimbrel should be on a team -- he's clearly better than a lot of guys who are kicking around in the league. The problem is in how he perceives his value vs. how teams perceive his value. He's expecting to be paid according to his historical value...

    Funny image GLC00 sent me

    This is funny. I've still got an old e-mail address that has years of old BMB communication on it and it is kind of fun to go through on occasion. I've got an e-mail chain regarding the genesis of this very board from 8/6/2008 that ends with, "It's gonna be a f'n trainwreck and I won't be able...

    Baines, Lee Smith Headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame

    I woke up this morning and thought maybe I had dreamed this last night. Holy hell. I realize very well that the Baseball Writers aren't beholden to the relaxed standards of this special committee that elected Baines, but if Baines is now the dividing line as to what a HOFer is, there's...

    Baines, Lee Smith Headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame

    Baines' election is just frickin' asinine. Excluding closers, he's easily the worst player elected in the last 30 to 40 years. Blows away the elections of Blyleven and Sutton.

    2014 Donruss redemption

    Odd that it doesn't even show up on the official checklist on the Panini website. My best guess is that they never got the cards signed and so they pulled it from the checklist. Hard to say who the player was. Good luck getting this card redeemed without some extra effort. I pulled the...

    Hi People...

    Wow -- that's funny. Can't believe it has been that long. I feel like it was something like '99 or 2000 when I started posting on the BMB... That's crazy. In addition to all of my "internet friends," I also made some legit real-world friends through my participation there, guys that I see...

    Hi People...

    Old school. Just the way I like it.

    August 2008 club sound off like you got a pair!

    8/8/08 for this pilgrim. I check in here way more than I post. Which is probably good for all parties. Can't believe it is approaching nine years. Time flies...

    HUGE PC Card that I believe is FAKE. Need Opinions Please.

    Something definitely off with this one. I have about a hundred of the 2004 Topps Originals cards (mostly 83 and 84 Topps) and all of them are signed with a much bolder blue pen than that one, including my 83 Topps Parker. This signature may well be a legit Dave Parker signature but I don't...

    2017 Bowman Baseball Preliminary Info

    Ah, fair points. I'd forgotten about the screwy thing that happened with the Bryant cards.

    2017 Bowman Baseball Preliminary Info

    I don't tend to follow the correlation between a BCDP product and the BC product that releases the following spring. But, I assume that Senzel having a "1st Bowman Card" in 2017 BC means he's not going to be in BCDP?

    D.J. LeMathieu wins batting title by sitting out final games instead of playing like a man.

    I've really enjoyed watching D.J. play the last couple of years here in Denver and appreciate the solid play he has brought to the Rockies but I agree with those who didn't like him sitting so much to preserve the batting title. I haven't seen whether or not he had a bonus riding on it or not...

    Topps Now lawsuit

    This is so outrageously stupid. He's not even damaged other than whatever he paid for the card (whatever Topps is charging for these which I'm too lazy to look up).

    Question for the group regarding Hall of Fame eligibility...

    Which stats would you suggest we look at? The ones I looked at don't make an argument for Kaat at all. Palmer has him in ERA (2.86 vs. 3.45), WHIP (1.18 vs. 1.26), 20-win seasons (8 vs. 3), K/9 (5 vs. 4.9), CY Young awards (3 vs. 0), CY Young Tops Tens (8 vs. 1), Career WAR (69.4 vs. 45.3)...

    COMC on eBay

    So I understand from the directions above how to exclude the COMC auctions from my searches, but is there a way to exclude them from your feed? I have so many searches set up to appear in my feed that I very rarely ever manually run a search. My feed is overrun with COMC crap right now.

    Do you think this card could get a PSA 10?

    To be brutally honest, I think that card has a better chance of an 8 than a 10. Regardless, I hope you sub it. I'd like to see how right (or wrong) I am...

    Have a opportunity to buy a case

    Has anybody opened any of this product recently? I remember 1999 Upper Deck cards sticking together horribly when I was going through some of my monster boxes looking for stuff to throw in the trash a few years back.
