What kind of slabs are those Matt ? Have you started MTG ? Matt and Tonyas grading co ?

BunchOBull · January 31, 2009 12:25PM

I made a label for those too Matt, it has the Big Hurt logo on it. Looking good.

mickeymantle24 · January 31, 2009 12:25PM

Nice stuff so far!

lawnmowerman · January 31, 2009 12:27PM

They are Pro-Tech slabs. They are actually quite nice. The only downfall is the dumb flip they come with. It's an ugly sticker that is meant to go on the outside of the slab. I messed around with them all day trying to come up with a flip that I could put on the inside. The problem is the tolerances are so tight that it makes it very difficult to do. I finally got it after many hours and much foul language

joestalin · January 31, 2009 1:38PM

I remembered two I had, McDonald (niners) and Andre Coleman

You can cross this one off your list... PM me your addy, its yours.. just snagged it off Ebay for ya.

Watch out for fakes. Sometimes people glue a back of a common onto the stars.

I have that problem all the time myself!

Thanks Roger, I'll look out for that

Today's batch. I changed the paper for the flips to a higher quality brand. It's still tough to get in there but it seems to look better.

VitoCo1972 · February 2, 2009 1:41PM

Why are they all #'d to a different amount? Did the players just arbitrarily decide how many they'd sign?

lawnmowerman · February 2, 2009 1:44PM

<< Why are they all #'d to a different amount? Did the players just arbitrarily decide how many they'd sign? >>

Good question. Maybe they just signed till they said "screw it my hand hurts"

I'll have to research that.

lawnmowerman · February 2, 2009 1:46PM

Best part about slabbing these myself is, if I get any mechanical errors, I can just punch myself in the face instead of cursing someone else

rube26105 · February 2, 2009 1:49PM

so you hit yrself in the face too huh,i thought i was the only one

BassPro77 · February 2, 2009 1:51PM

pretty cool

lawnmowerman · February 2, 2009 1:53PM

<< pretty cool >>

The cards or the punching myself in the face part?

VitoCo1972 · February 2, 2009 1:55PM

Well, I did kind of notice one thing - it looks to me like most of those cards were numbered by the same hand. So they must have sent like 2000 cards to everyone and they signed as many as they could get to - and then they were counted and hand numbered on return.

lawnmowerman · February 2, 2009 2:00PM

Yeah, I see that now Mike. I'm sure you're right.

If I remember correctly, Aikman only signed 340. I'm pretty sure that is lowest pop of the set.

gumbyfan · February 2, 2009 2:02PM

Good stuff, Matt. I like the slabs!

lawnmowerman · February 2, 2009 2:06PM

<< Good stuff, Matt. I like the slabs! >>

Thanks Craig. I'm getting better as I go. The Brent Jones was the last card I did and the flip looks the best.

It's time consuming but I am enjoying myself.

CDsNuts · February 2, 2009 4:59PM

EAsports · February 2, 2009 10:14PM

Today's mail.

Best flips so far. I think I found the perfect technique.

Allen · February 3, 2009 8:00AM

Darnay Scott always booked too much back in the day.

lawnmowerman · February 3, 2009 8:05AM

<< Darnay Scott always booked too much back in the day. >>

Yeah, he was slightly overrated out of college

Ahmanfan · February 3, 2009 8:22AM

wow those flips in the last scan look legit. I thought the first few on page 1 look a little cheesy but the last scan looks real nice.

lawnmowerman · February 3, 2009 12:54PM

<< you should reholder the first slabs for the labels. >>

Yeah I will be doing that David. The first ones are pretty bad

lawnmowermanswife · February 3, 2009 2:06PM

You should also install the speakers in the truck tomorrow and fix the broken faucet thing in the backyard. Thanks!

I took care of the faucet thing yesterday and installed the speakers today.

Get off my back woman!

Ya, tell her what for Matt, you da man..

Oh ya, it was worth the 23 minute wait on dial up to see your cards. Nice.

lawnmowerman · February 6, 2009 6:47AM

Today's partial batch. My ink is low so I need to run out and get some more. Grandma is baby-sitting the girls at her house tonight

That translates into a nice quiet house for Tonya and I tonight. Hopefully, I will be able to get a bunch more slabbed.

edit to add: Resized these pics to a smaller size on photobucket and they suck now. It must be a low quality program they use. I usually use photoshop which I will always use from now on.

TJMAC · February 6, 2009 11:05AM

You know you have been married too long when you get the house alone with your wife and your thinking about cards. Nice looking set by the way.

VitoCo1972 · February 6, 2009 11:08AM

<< You know you have been married too long when you get the house alone with your wife and your thinking about cards. Nice looking set by the way. >>

You beat me to that one. I mean seriously. How often are you alone? Are you THAT afraid of having more kids?

rube26105 · February 6, 2009 11:10AM

matt can never be alone with a wife, 15 kids, 12 cats a gerbal, and 5 mexicans in his outbuilding

Ahhh, so you and Tonya were up late playing solitaire at separate ends of the house, right?
