Gary Carter?

[trevorlsmith]

He should be in the hall of fame. For a catcher his stats were as good as any catcher who played.

 

He's in the hall of fame thank you very much. Went in 3 or 4 years ago.

 

as a montreal expo?

 

hey Carter played just as good for the expos as he did for the mets! He was really good!

 

Yep, he went in as a 'spo. He only spent four full years with my Metties.

[*paull*]

"Metties"?

 

In my entire life as a Mets fan, I've never heard that. Do you live in Vancouver?

Another Gary Carter memory: him setting up at San Diego one year and lining up the first Sandman appearances - the Mile High copies, of course - on the top shelf of a display.

That's really killer Steve!

 

Along with the San Diego theme--

 

The Real Fact #1 that I sold to Paratrooper here on the boards is really all due to Gary Carter. The guy I got it from was at SD one year and asked Gary if he thought it was a good idea to pick it up and Gary told him pretty emphatically that it's always a good idea to buy Real Facts when you can.

I've always thought it would be great if Gemstone or someone published a collection of all of Nolan's columns...with full color images.

 

I'd buy the book!

 

[Hepcat]

I know if he knows about these forums? Would be awesome if he started posting. Anyone ever invite him here?

 

I'd love to see Gary posting here!

Do any of the Really Huge collectors post here besides Jon Berk?

I mean the real Monsters of collecting.

Stephen Fishler posts here...he's a Monster, isn't he?

[blazingbob]

No, the real monster collector is Roger Longo! Steve Carey is small fry!

[sacentaur]

Hey piglet, I resemble that remark!

[action1kid]

I think Berk is the # 1 Collector on the boards in terms of quality/volume.But I admit im not sure.

Roger mostly more out of comics than in.

Adam;

 

By "out", do you mean completely out in terms of selling off his collection? Or do you mean a "soft out" in terms of not buying anything new in today's market?

 

There is a significant difference between the two.

Yes to both, last I knew. Many significant books that he owned have been sold.

Doug Schmell posts here, and in the SA realm, he's about as big as they get.

He popped in one day at San Diego Con this year. Steve Carey and I talked to him for a good long while. He is completely out of comics.
