I only said I was glad Artbox got to do Harry Potter! | |||

So this is how you get in trouble with the written word.  The YOU in "say what YOU will", was not You Hammer. It was a general YOU, meant for card collectors as a group. I did not quote your previous post in any way. I was agreeing with you about Artbox, but adding my own observations about Topps and others. Nothing about my post put words in your mouth, as you seem to have taken it. I was merely lamenting the passing of some really good card manufacturers and congratulating Topps on holding up for decades. | |||

Get over yourself nobody cares you are one of the reasons this place has become a waste and all decent collectors have left. I don't care who disagrees I am entitled to a voice and my opinion come to a show and we can discuss you are not that far away. ____________________ "The problem, I'm told, is more than medical." | |||

Obviously, I can't be absolutely, 100% positive. But having been a collector for over 30 years and knowing what to look for to determine authenticity I am 99.99% sure they are the real thing. Also, the seller who has over 10,000 stars on Ebay and is based out of New York, where topps is headquartered,gave me the history of how he acquired them before I agreed to buy them. ____________________ | |||

You are taking yourself far to seriously - I shouldn't have had to put a  on the end of my comment Simple thing is Topps is a huge company with deep pockets and fingers in many pies , they can have a couple of poor releases and get over them easily, the companies that have gone were too small to cope with a poor run. Artbox did great with HP but other than a couple of sets of 24 that was it. Breygent were let down by long approvals and great titles that didn't sell and inkworks had a bad run of titles that cost them. Biggest shame is Topps does little in the way of promotional work and survives whilst those that have gone were great for the hobby. | |||

Anyway, back on topic! I have a set of HP Panini stickers that are in the same vein as these promo's, indeed the art seems very similar. | |||

And who owns Panini? ____________________ | |||

I wasn't aware they were owned by another company | |||

As you have made this post you are obviously still here and i allways thought you were a decent collector. ____________________ Come, it is time for you to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man. | |||

Actually it was the exclamation point at the end of your post that made me think I had offended you and I was trying to explain why I didn't mean it. Unfortunately this only produced an unprovoked attack from another quarter.So this forum is about card collecting and not personalities. I shall limit my comments to that and that's all I have to say about it. These Potter test cards are a real find and I'm sure that promoking did as much due diligence as possible before pulling the trigger. Congratulations.  | |||

Really? You are still here, so I guess that means you are not a decent collector either. . | |||

Apologies Hammer, I am clearly confusing Panini with another sticker company which is why I don't collect stickers these days. regards John ____________________ | |||

Actually, I value Raven's opinion. Clearly, she knows a lot about cards - probably more than I do. She collected sports cards and then transitioned into non-sports because she likes autographs. She has questioned one or two of my posts but never in an insulting or even mildly condescending way. She knows the difference between voicing an opinion and mouthing off. I consider her a decent collector. I trade emails with David R during the week and sometimes with the Promoking as well. I think they are decent people. I recall reading that Wolfie saved cards to sell to make money for a local hospice. He was a positive force in the recent Mystery Box situation as well. Btlfannz went out of his way to restart and maintain the Mystery Box project to the benefit of other Cardtalk members. I just starting trading emails with BillZee. These are all decent people and I can only there are more because they seem to like being here, given that decent collectors tend to spend time with other decent people I disagree that this forum is a waste. I try to check the site every day to see what's being talked about. I learn a lot. It's interesting to see what other collectors are looking for and what they find. Sometimes, they are cards I would like to get too. I like this place. Jess
