  • Here's a crappy image of my 1978 Burger King Tigers set taken with my crappy digital camera that just may have been manufactured in 1978...

  • See, I wasn't always ugly...

    Notice the date in the corner. Go '78 Tigers!

    1978 Burger King Tigers
  • Any reason you couldn't show us that in one post??
  • It's more dramatic this way.





    Maybe one day you'll be #1 at something good like the '78 BK Tigers instead of that wacky cracker, Brian Winters.

    I hope you have a good sense of humor, cause that picture is going to catch you a lot of ragging.image

    Is that one finger supposed to show us what your IQ level is??
    Go take your meds and put that finger where the sun don't shine!! image

    You may not be making that face much longer if you keep that light in your display cabinet on and it fades the heck at of the first few cards....image

    Great set though and congrats.

    1) At least my IQ is one higher than yours! Ouch!!

    2) I would, but your finger is already there! Zing!!
  • Don't quit your day job to take up comedy. I'm sure working at the local fast food joint is still your best option!
  • Thanks, Ledsters.

    Worry, not... I rarely if ever put the light on. I'll flip it on for a minute or two if I'm able to convince someone to visit my lair. Also, the entire cabinet is covered with a stylish black sheet 99% of the time. I only uncover the cards when I need to inspire a Tigers rally. With the Tigers struggling again against the Tribe, I may be uncovering it very soon.

    I'd probably have a goofy look on my face if I got one of those certificates, too. Congratulations, Toad! Thanks for sharing.

    Congrats on the set but I would think about getting that finger removed. It sounds painful.

  • I emailed the link to this thread to my mom yesterday because I knew she'd get a kick out of it. It turns out mom clicked on it again this morning. Here's the email I just got...

    "Why did that pandrews boy alter your photo and superimpose your face onto a picture of three guys? Who are they and what is he trying to say?"

    Look what you crazy characters have gone and done. Sure, it's all fun and games to you, isn't it? Now you are upsetting my poor mom! It's bad enough she has an unfortunate-looking son who obsesses for hours on end over pieces of cardboard. Now she has to witness the cruel teasing of her precious boy firsthand.

    Shameful! image


  • << <i>Geez Brianwinters take it easy on the guy, no need to take to that level of insults!! >>



    I simply asked him why he felt the need to take 5 posts to do what he did. He is the one who took the first shot calling Brian Winters a "goofy honky". Why is that acceptable?? Would it be cool if I used a racial slur against one of the Tigers black players?? If I would have done that this place would have imploded. He could have left it with "I did it for dramatic purposes" and that would have been the end of it.
    I appreciate the fact that he worked hard on his set and he loves the Tigers just as I love the stuff I collect but I asked a simple question and all I got was a not so funny comment in my book.
  • StingrayStingray Posts: 8,843 ✭✭✭
    He was not calling you personally a goofy honky only Brian Winters the basketball player, there is a difference.

    As a goofy honky myself, I feel I have the right to use the term as I see fit.


  • << <i>He was not calling you personally a goofy honky only Brian Winters the basketball player, there is a difference. >>



    There is?? If something is a stupid statement it doesn't matter who it's directed at.
    All I see is someone looking for attention and looking to drive up their post count. Nothing wrong with celebrating your accomplishment but 5 posts to do it is a bit much.
    Last post for me on this subject!
  • brianwintersfan has made a valid point. I have edited my Brian Winters "goofy honky" post on page 1.
  • Thanks for proving my point that you are clueless! image

    Get Well Soon!

    PS-This is my last post on the subject! Since the rest of you seem to think this guy is a genius you can have him all to yourself.

    Congrats TOAD. I think the whole deal is very funny. The picture simply adds to the hilarity. image It reminds me of Will Ferrell for some reason.

    Remember the Will Ferrell sketch on SNL where he was wearing that ridiculous 'I'm #1' hat? It was one of their "commercials" and the product was that cheesy hat which was designed especially for those fortunate people who are "#1". The smug look on his face while he slow danced with his date while wearing that hat was the greatest.

  • Wow, this sure turned into a monster.

    I think it's cool to be proud.
  • WabittwaxWabittwax Posts: 1,984 ✭✭✭
    Aaawww, so your Clawson Whoppers. You are the guy who's gonna ruin my dream of being #1 on all the BK sets. All of them are within reach except for yours. Given that PSA only gives 9's and lower on these cards and your set is almost already all 9's, I doubt I'll ever catch you. If you have any for sale, please keep me in mind. Honestly though, I'm probably not willing to pay the prices you already had to pay to be #1, but I'll keep plugging away at it. I tend to lose interest in stuff after a couple years so that will probably happen before I ever catch up.
  • StingrayStingray Posts: 8,843 ✭✭✭
    Toad check your PMs!!
  • OK, I responded, Stingray. Hey, did you happen to hear Joe Walsh on Howard Stern last week? Of course, you'd have to be a Sirius radio subscriber to have heard it. Anyhow, if you are interested, I recorded the two songs he performed... I can make 'em into mp3's. He played Funk #49 and Walk Away.

    What a great start for a Monday. I needed the laugh. I grew up watching Winters play. I liked Moncrief better but I lived in Green Bay and could only catch them on TV back then.

    Thanks for the laugh again.

    We took a vote and the overwhelming results are that we want Toad to stay and you to go.

    Your an uptight, hairless chimp.
