that I got from a little kid after pushing him off his skateboard
and tackling him. Jumped in my car and ran over his skateboard
and seeing him cling to my bumper; I'm surprised he lasted 2 blocks.

    That's bad lol. I usuallyonly do that if the card is in a holder, especially for the really high dollar cards. I think you beat up a little kid for a reprint. image

    You should have stole his scanner too....... and twisted his arm until he showed you how to scan a card.

    I hate it when that happens.

    Next time just floor it and then quickly slam on the breaks.

    9 out of 10 times, that does the trick.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    I wonder if a conversation like this ever took place.

    Boy rips open a pack of 1952 Topps in October of 1952...

    DAD: Did you get anything good?
    SON: I don't know any of these people... wait, Jackie Robinson!
    DAD: Wow, son. Good one!
    SON: What about Mickey Mantle? I've heard of him.
    DAD: He's that new outfielder for the Yankees, isn't he?
    SON: Yes, it says Yankees.
    DAD: Didn't he get sent back to the minor leagues? He's no Joe DiMaggio, that's for sure.
    SON: I'm going to keep the Jackie Robinson.
    DAD: Put the rest in your spokes.
    SON: Yeah, but I kinda hate that Yankees, dad. Do you want this Mantle?
    DAD: Of course not. We're for the Dodgers in this house.
    SON: Yeah! riiiiippppp
