503.0. "Phil Plantier" by STUDIO::GUTIERREZ (I'm on my break. Do you care..?) Thu Nov 12 1992 11:04

    
    	
    	I heard on the radio this morning that
    	a New England Baseball Card dealer was
    	suing Phil Plantier for failing to appear
    	at the card show as promised by Plantier
    .

503.1Bye-Bye Phil!!POWDML::GASPARONIThu Nov 12 1992 11:455
    Good!  I hope the dealer wins.  These ballplayers definitely have a 
    ego problem, and think they can jerk people around anytime they want.
    Phil is on a definite tail-spin heading straight to earth, since his 
    rookie year up to the bigs.  I'm surprised he is being protected by the 
    Red Sox in the expansion draft.
503.2Dealers Win! Dealers Win! Dealers Win!SONATA::KELLYTue Nov 17 1992 10:369
    re 503.1 
    Did I get that right, after years of harrassment someone actually
    wrote "I hope the dealer wins"?   It seems I'm having a positive
    effect.
    Too bad all of the old noters can't see this. Hope most of you
    get to read this before John, or the ghost of Roy ant their
    back up group "The Turnips" start to delete it.
    Maybe I am a Mantle fan.

503.3Nice guy!SCHOOL::RIEUSay Goodbye George!Tue Nov 17 1992 10:475
       The dealer is John Santelli of 10th inning in Warwick, R.I. He's the
    guy who also ran the recent 2 day show in Boxboro. I talked to him at
    the show because I couldn't go Sunday (Pats-SF game) and he sent me an
    Aaron ball UPS because Hank was there Sun. and I'd miss him.

503.4Another StiffEBBV03::MONDALTOTue Nov 17 1992 13:169
    Maybe he,(Plantier) like all the other JERKS only go to the shows when
    the funds are low,he's a real stiff for doing that to the people that
    pay his salary,I'm so sick of all these premadonnas that are on ego 
    trips,I hope this guy John Santelli (nice Italian boy) wins his case.
    
    Mike stop picking on the Saint.

503.5He should be sued if he broke a contractFUTURE::JST_ONGEJohn St.Onge USDSL DTN 275-2715Tue Nov 17 1992 15:508
    The facts aren't in yet ;-)
    
    If Plantier had a contract to show up, then the dealer has all the
    right in the world  to  sue him. Unfortunately when a dealer tells
    us that stuff we're buying  is  rare,  scarce etc. - well you know
    what I mean ...

    All the card dealers and investors around here are trying to unload
    those stacks of Phil Plantier rookie cards now. I love it !

503.8see ya philDDIF::TANCILLSooner or later it all gets realTue Dec 15 1992 03:166
    
    Yes!  I wonder just how low you could get all the Plantier Rookie
    Sensations (blue ones) you wanted now.  3 for $10?

503.9Good Luck Phil.POWDML::GASPARONIWed Dec 16 1992 15:259
    I saw one guy, 10 for 10c at one show.  The guy said there worthless
    right now.  Said he could put a sign up "FREE" and people would just 
    walk right by them.  No interest.  Bet if he has a great year in SD,
    his card out there will be worth a good price.  I really feel that the 
    Lou Man put too much pressure on Phil to hit the long ball, instead of 
    just swinging the bat for contact.  SD is a much more relaxing
    atmosphere, and I think he will come around, like Sheffield did this
    year.  He has alot to learn about the field though, and there is no 
    DH in the Senior League.

    John, I wouldn't say Jeff Bagwell is a superstar, a decent player, but
    not a superstar.
