I think your transactions shenanigans got you in trouble. If you only ask about purchasing a card when you are serious and have the money on hand to pay and subsequently pay promptly through PayPal (don't use gift) that will earn you some good will. I know that becoming respected on here may seem like a tough mountain to climb, but you can do it. Just try to avoid Captain Kirk as you climb that mountain.

As you learn on here some people will come to like you, some never will, and some already have. You can't please everyone so don't worry. Just PLEASE STOP posting possible steals that are still live on eBay. People here may be winning the steal at the time. Also what James said, only agree to a deal when the money is ready to be sent.

I've dealt with this guy before, seems like a good kid. Little indecisive, but hey he's young I would be too if I was his age. There is just some people that harp on him for nothing ( see above poster telling him to leave) and even he dosent deserve that...overall he made a trade with me and I had no headaches. Just my .02

Nice thread. I wouldn't sweat it too much. It's only the internet. I mean, you say some absurd things sometimes, but whatever. God know I like to stir up **** from time to time. I've also given you a hard time, but I'm sure you're a good kid in person.
If anything, I wish there were more collectors your age. We need younger guys in this hobby.

But I do agree with what was said before, you really should get it together when it comes to making transactions.

People use to give tbtwinsfan the same treatment till you came around.
I hope so :) Did Twins really get my treatment? He is so helpful and one of my favorite members!

Still do sometimes.

I just brush it off as good fun, and try to learn from what I posted. But seeing guys around here like magicpapa, Chris (Musial Collector) and a ton of other guys that are helpful to me, and others, I try to do what I can to help. I may not be able to do a fraction of what some of these guys do, but I do what I can.

I used to try to tread the prospect waters similar to you, but I was wrong just about every time, so I dropped it and did my own thing (player and set collecting). I kept off people's nerves that way, while still being able to be on the board. That's what I would suggest doing is working on a player or set collection.

Hope that helps a bit...

I think everyone just misses the old miguelcabrera (before he grew up).

So your advice is... Don't collect what makes you happy, collect what will make other people happy with you? :?

Wait, what? :|

Not to bash him, but I read some of his prospect posts, and they seemed off to me. I was just suggesting maybe he should start with something easier... Player collecting is a lot easier than prospecting...

I wasn't trying to give TB a hard time or anything, it's just... if you read his post, what he said was he quit collecting prospects because he felt like he was getting on peoples nerves. He started a player collection to please the people of FCB. I just thought it was a sad thing to have happen to him, and extra sad that he recommends that other people do it.

Although I agree 100%. :lol: About collecting cards instead of prospecting. It's just that after reading so many times in so many threads "collect what makes YOU happy" it was funny to read the opposite sentiment.

...And before that it was that other kid. Moniker eludes me, but he tried to pass off a Longoria 'bucket as his own - cgilmo contest.


Are you sure that wasn't StrasburgMania's other account? :lol:

Much obliged. This is all part of growing up my man. Idk what went on with you and other FCB members, but we all have moments where ignorance paves the way for maturity. You will understand it one day man. I am 20. I just went through what you are going through lol.
Thank so much for understanding.

Absolutely man. We all go through phases in life lol.
