Re: Nominate the GUU's MVP's of 2008 !!! Who and Why!

Also wanted to add, I have met quite a few great people on this site. I even get emails every once in awhile from people I do not know asking questions about Devil Rays stuff. Which is cool.

I want to also nominate Nate Devlin for the "2008 GameUsed Universe I Tell it like it is" Award !

I talk to Nate Devlin at least twice a week via email. Nate has quite a vintage collection going on. Even has some Devil Rays gamers I would like to have..... Hint hint Nate.... A certain players bat from 2001....

I have had some great transactions with Andrew Tilley, Chris Hakes, Adam in Michigan, Jake Jahimiak, Steve Smith, Dan Slimm and others who I cannot think of at this time...sorry for not including your name here....

Roger Ward sent me an autographed Devil Rays license plate for FREE!

I would nominate BMH....he was able to help out many of us for nothing at all and he took time out from whatever he was doing just to help us collectors out. I only asked for help 1 time from him, but his info is just so useful and I was able to date the bat I had asked about to 2005 instead of 2007 like I had thought before asking him. He's a great asset to the forum

The great city of San Francisco, nominates LON LEWIS!! He has more knowledge as far as jersey restoration, knowledge of tagging, you name it. He has helped every other member on this forum, in one way or another.

I should also add that I was a real pompous jerk to Ironmanfan on several occasions on this forum. Bill is a great guy and has overlooked my arrogance and stupidity and has proven to be a 100% great guy and fantastic source full of information on all things Ripken. I really appreciate him and all the help he has provided.

Thanks for the kind words Brett. I appreciate it. I was talking to another good friend tonight (Howard Wolf), about the good ol' days and how long we have been in the hobby. I've known Howard sonce the 80's, guys like Dave Miedema since then as well, and honesty and enjoyable talk is all ya get with these guys. As we spoke of today, hobbies are for fun and taking your mind off s*it (which is something we all have). While many choose to advocate negativisms and pick fights, its the hobby, the game, and the friendships you make along the way that count.

Brett, email or call me anytime. I hope you can pick up some great stuff my friend.

Re: Nominate the GUU's MVP's of 2008 !!! Who and Why!

Since I'm probably not allowed to nominate myself, I can agree with:

aeneas, whose posts I ALWAYS enjoy, even though I don't collect helmets

Birdbats, who helped me out on a major bat "non-purchase."

Also, Eric for starting the whole thing.

Re: Nominate the GUU's MVP's of 2008 !!! Who and Why!

I nominate Jeff Scott (Birdbats) for the 'Good Guy' award. He is far and away the best Cards bat guy around...and has saved me thousands. Literally.
Thanks Jeff!

I second this!!! Jeff has answered any Cardinals bat related question I've had, and I can tell the info took some time to put together!!! I just want him to know it is appreciated.

In a time when so many of the posts can be attributed to baiting/fighting/non GU related crap on the forum, Jeff is one that is a throwback to what this site truly should be about...Game Used and education thereof.
