FCB sponsored debate???

[Leaf]

I would love to maturely debate Jeff (Bob Loblaw) Novell with the event recorded by FCB and moderated by gilmo, phillyfan, and Wes (or others)..

If Jeff and FCB will agree to participate, I will make a very nice card donation to the Scottish Rite Hospital,..

Topics:
Pete Rose product
Purple Prismatics
Razor's success or failure
Leaf's success and financial stability
Jeff's achievements professionally
Is Jeff a troll or not?
Should I interact on these boards?
Leaf's position in market
And so much more possible!!!!

Jeff, you in? FCB mods, you in?
Is this something you guys would like to hear?

This could be fun.. For charity, why not???

Great idea for one of the next FCB podcasts. Get it done Gilmore.

 

[Leaf]

This is my way of being as transparent as promised and facing my biggest critic head on..

Isn't this what all manufacturers should do?

BG

 

[aarne13]

Heck, I'd pay to hear that.

 

[sportscardtheory]

Even though it's tactless and pretty stupid for an owner/CEO of a trading card company to come here and challenge a member like this, I find it to be amusing in a sick way. lol

 

[phillyfan0417]

I'm down, I'd be glad to be part if this is something Gilmo is behind...

 

[Fandruw25]

LOL. Leaf, a company, actively going after an individual because of the critism of the product? If I were Bob I would suggest you grow up and learn to take critism and if you don't like it, then don't reply.


It's post like this that have turned me off to Razor and Leaf and I'm sure whatever you call your company next, I won't be buying that either...not for dislike of your product, but the arrogance of the owner.

From a delivery standpoint, it could have been done differently and some of the topics would need to be adjusted but it would make for quality conversation. Heck, could still be fun even if Jeff isnt interested...

I'm not going to lie, I'm having trouble swallowing the explanation around the purples since I spent alot of money on the player i went after but i can put it aside for the sake of a fun hour or so of banter.

 

[Leaf]

I'm not challenging him because he's an ass, I am inviting him to participate in what should be a transparent discussion of reality, rather than unsupported claims behind a computer screen..

The goal is not to call him out, but to get the truth out there.. Who better to argue the other side than Jeff (a lawyer).. BG

This.

Jeff is one person on a relatively small message board, forget him and move on with your life and business

The problem is that he doesn't critique only, he makes blatantly false statements...

I am merely defending myself to baseless (and some legitimate) claims.. BG

Ps- sorry if my confidence turns you off, I am passionate for this industry and cannot/will not be silenced just to be politically correct. I would rather tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may, rather than hide like other companies do hoping issues will fade away..

I actually like that BG is here willing to debate his "biggest" critic head-on. I doubt we'll see Jeff in the room but whatever.

 

[matchpenalty]

I like how serious some people get in a Leaf thread. Life is short, BG wants to debate. Should be fun and great entertainment. Not all this crap about I can't take them serious and this is stupid blah blah blah. I'm never buying Leaf because of this and that. Get over yourself. People get all bent out of shape how Topps never gives them any info ect and how they hate them them for this and that. Leaf is pretty much an open book and we get the same crying the other way. Gotta love it.

The scary part is that I actually like Jeff personally (weve talked on several occasions). I find him to be intelligent and likable in many ways.

That's why I am willing to engage him in discussion. We don't all have to agree on everything, but shouldn't we form our opinions after hearing both sides?

This is not an act of arrogance, it is an act of goodwill to share what other companies would only do over their dead bodies..

Let's put the leaf love and leaf hate aside..,,Just the facts..

Oh, this will have a happy ending, no doubt.

 

[gmarutiak]

This debate has the potential for awesomeness.

I'm picturing two podiums and a moderator, like a classic Presidential debate, except with ring girls, entrance music, pyrotechnics and more. Oh, so much more.

Please, let this happen.

JP,
It can have a happy ending. Be a positive, glass half full guy!!!

Don't tease me like that.
But seriously, just a friendly fun card debate between us card geeks!!

No, that's an extra $50.

 

[MallCopKJ]

This would be cool to have in the next podcast. Hopefully we can put something together.
