Who or what the heck is in your avatar (aka your icon)?

Of course, many are obvious, but there are a lot out there I see every day and have no idea who or what it's supposed to be.

Mine is a segment of card #33 from the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set.

Mine's my 1934-36 Diamond Stars Lefty Grove PSA 4

The Hammer, rounding third at Tiger Stadium after hitting his homer in the legendary '71 All Star Game.

I just picked mine at random.

Yankeeefan

Calvin, from the Calvin & Hobbes cartoon strip. I picked it because it reminds me of my 4yo making faces at his brother. hehehe

Close up of DA MAN's best card (in my opinion)

The best player of all time.

Glen Quagmire from tv's The Family Guy

Not sure why I picked mine. I guess because I like dogs and he is bringing the mail, which often means a couple new bubble mailers with more cards!

Geordie, you can change icons anytime with one that is uploaded into the site. If you had your chocolate lab before as an icon, it's still in the system and you can select it now if you want.

Jordan, I had thought the same thing, but when I looked, I couldn't find it. I must've named it something completely random. I'll look again.

I know there are thousands of them and they take forever to load. But it's in there somewhere.

BTW, I go by Jordy too.

ah, that's better. I feel like my old self again. I did name the pic something completely random. When I was going through the massive amounts of pix, I recognized lots of the guys' old icons, such as Rip's Michael Jackson with the nose falling off, and mudflap's Don West. Also saw a couple Captain America icons, which was my first icon when I joined. Don't know if anyone heard, but Marvel offed C.A. (sniper bullet) in the new issue that came out Wednesday. Wonder how long it'll take the mighty minds at Marvel to resurrect him?

Jordan, when I tell people my name, the immediate assumption is that it is a shorter, slangier version of your name. I have to patiently explain that it is a variation of George. Some still don't get it, but I've gotten used to it over the years.

"Slingin" Sammy Baugh's 1952 Bowman Card

Sammy was the first great quarterback and one of the legendary "characters" in NFL history. If you have never seen an interview of him, you should check it out....he's hilarious....he has the mouth of a trucker!...no offense to any truckers out there!

Mine is of a fake Mickey Mantle Autographed card that was correctly identified as fake by PSA/DNA, yet somehow slabbed by PSA and sent back to the submitter. I hope whoever slabbed it was fired.

Southerncards

mine is a Deputy Sheriff's badge since I........oh well you can figure out the rest.

I like to randomly change my avatar. Wonder what I'll come up with next?

Mine is a wrapper for 1968 Topps 3-D. Here's the entire scan:

mine is a pic of our now 9 year old boy in his baseball garb....



for whatever reason, he loves playing outfield. I suspect my throwing of hundreds and hundreds of pop-ups to him is the cause of that.

I'm not a big fan of soccer. In fact, I've only been to one game my entire life.

I just like the fact that I'm being politically incorrect every time I post

Houston Dynamo History



<< <i>On January 25, 2006, Houston 1836 was first announced as the team name. This followed an online survey for the fans to provide unofficial suggestions for the new team name, with given options of: Apollos, Bulls, Eagles, Gatos, Lonestars, Stallions, Toros, Americans, Buffalos, Generals, Houston 1836, Mustangs, and Stars. According to MLS & AEG, who chose the name, the 1836 name referred to the year that the city of Houston was founded by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen, though it had perceived ambiguity, as it is also the year of Texan independence from Mexico. Houston 1836's logo featured a silhouette of General Sam Houston, perhaps the city's, and state's, most famous historical figure.

The choice of Houston 1836, however, soon became a political football. While their stated intent was to link to the founding year of the city, the team name was changed to Houston Dynamo after the Houston 1836 name raised a furor among some locals of Mexican descent—the team's target audience—who related 1836 with the war for Texas independence. Sylvia Garcia, Harris County's first Hispanic commissioner in more than a century, rallied for a boycott of the team name. The name was dropped, due to this political pressure and considerable opposition from potential Hispanic community, media, and sponsors. Ironically, the name Dynamo is not without some controversy itself, as the Eastern European Dynamo sports society was historically sponsored by the Soviet secret police. The choice of that name also drew some criticism for lack of originality since it has been used by so many other teams, including the USL PDL Carolina Dynamo and numerous youth clubs in the U.S. Since the "1836" debacle, MLS has announced that they will no longer do online surveys for future expansion teams; they had also taken a poll to name Real Salt Lake, which itself was an unpopular choice. >>

I would like to see a close up of that photo. Post it here if you have it.

I almost forgot - mine is Mr Pujols going very, very deep against Brad Lidge in the playoffs.

Mine is of Lexington Von Pizmeov, a Seal Point Siamese I had that passed away three years ago. Look close enough and you'll see he is sticking his tongue out at you...

Caricon

Mine is of the flag of Norway. In tribute to my mom who was from Norway, and passed away on St. Patrick's Day 1990.

Mine is currently a random tri-foil sign, but come Tuesday, if I remember, it will be a very compressed image of my only truly complete collection; my periodic table of the elements.

Mine is Stephen Hawking from the cover of his "A Brief History of Time" book.

A Rusty Kuntz Topps RC card. Ya, I try to be funny.

RoarIn84

y'know i never found a dirty connotation with Rusty Kuntz until joining this board.....with us fellow '84 Detroiters, it's always been pronounced 'Koontz' so i never second guessed it......

blade35

Blade from the Puppet Master movies.

Goodsport40

Mine is a 1972 Topps Sparky Lyle graded PSA 9 from my last free submission. My first older card I have submitted that graded a 9. Plus, I love those 72's!

Mine is of the first Phil Simms card in Psa 10 I ever bought. Just happened to be from the very tough 85 set.

rose14com

Mine is a scaled down version of Pete from the 1967 Topps Stand Ups (thanks to Bob for allowing me to use it). I'm completely obsessed, fascinated, mesmerized by the set, and no I don't own a single card from it.
