Well, the official stats still have him at 994, but his profile says he's posted 1009 times, which by my math is over 1000, which is my one crtierion that puts him in the Forum Hall of Fame!
I looked and Mr. 7212 has never corresponded directly with me -- more my loss than his, I'm sure. And we don't really even post in the same threads, except for the Forum Hall of Fame threads. So I cannot wax eloquent about him. But I know a few things. He has something like 182 positive feedbacks, so he must be a good trader and probably a good guy. He considered Tris Speaker for his Mount Rushmore of Red Sox, so he's old school. And I appreciate those things.
The rest of you, I'm sure, will dive in with compliments. I shall just say, Congratulations!

(By the way, I'll use this opportunity to announce that I shall cease the Forum Hall of Fame when we get to 50 members, many, many years from now. I just wanted to give fair warning....)

Welcome, Jim. Good stuff!

-- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 10/25/2023). I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

Robert “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.” ― A. Bartlett Giamatti robertkimble.us/tradingcards

Thank you all. I wish I did have more time. Cut out trading a bit ago to get reorganized and then when I finally got a chance to start again, bam, work and life brought me back to reality. Trying do what I can behind the scenes though. To V3, thank you. True that we don't often post on the same forums, but I do enjoys reading your posts, your insights and your projects with your daughter. Too bad my son don't take quite a liking to it. And of course I included Speaker! He's one of the all-time greats, an inner cirle HOF and the main cog behind some of Boston's early WS trophies. It would have been so easy for me to more recent players as I'm only 45. Have to respect the entire history, no recency bias like so many like to use.
