What CU members do you know in your everyday life?

nam812

In another thread ThunderDan wrote "Don't really know you except from your posts." and after reading that sentence I realized that it would hold true for almost everyone here. That being said, I was wondering who here knows another member in their everyday life? Also, do you know them because of CU, or before CU?

I have had the pleasure of going to shows and enjoying meals with Roger (rogermnj) and Lee (CDsNuts) about 3 or 4 times now, and I met Jason (Morgoth) a few Nationals ago at Steve Hart's table while waiting to pick up our 1983 Michigan wax boxes.

Anyone else?

lawnmowerman

I have met lawnmowermanswife before.

goose3

I have met several people from the PSA boards and probably upwards of 40-50 or more on the PCGS boards.

lawnmowerman

I also have met FarveFan1971 (Troy). In fact, he is coming down for the third time next month. We will most likely be meeting up for dinner again

BassPro77

Those had to be interesting meals seeing that you and Lee are the same person.

I have met zero fellow board members.

I did it with mirrors. It freaked Roger out a little, but who cares.

digicat

I met 80sJunkie a few months before his fall from grace on the boards a few years ago. I bought some 1988 Donruss rack cases out of the trunk of his car, in a Target parking lot in Fresno.

I needed a rip-fix bad.


But, I'm happy to report that I've been off the 88 Donruss for 2 years now, and doing well.

cwazzy

I've met prscott933 (Paul). He lives five minutes from my house. He's a nice guy and is a Cardinals fan so he couldn't be too bad.

BPorter26

I've known MBMiller25 for 20 years. He's a very dear friend.

Word up Matt and Tonya. See you in a few weeks. I will meet Gumby shortly to pick up my group break. I have also met Gregm13 and Jradke. All top notch people except for Matt. All this Emmitt talk.

I'd be happy to have dinner and drinks with any of you guys.....

I knew he did it in person too.

IchiroDeported

LSU's wife has given me several lap dances, does that count?

lsutigers1973

I forgot, Mike (rexvos) came over to my house to help me with some football cards when I bought a collection from a garage sale. Nice guy, even gave me a Billy Cannon card.

mikeschmidt

Griffins is one happenin' dude.

BigDaddyBowman

I met alnavman on the boards...we live about 2 streets away from each other.

Bottom9th

Haven't met anyone yet but maybe if I get to the National...

Mphilking

I'm going to San Diego in the beginning of June and will visit Ymarea(Brett) and his pristine raw cards.

brianwintersfan

gumbyfan and myself have been friends for many years.

nightcrawler

I don't know and have never met another CU member yet. I'll probably meet someone someday as I plan on making it to a show someday somewhere. I just realized that I only personally know one other collector... period.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

fattymacs

I stopped by BobS' workplace to pick up some unopened stuff. It was a few hours after my wife's knee surgury and her meds were wearing off. She was mad, but a guy needs his rip-fix.

firedawg45

samspop

Just had a couple of beers with MBMiller25...He's a jerk!!

Just kidding Matt....GOOD TIMES!!!!! Hope to have more of them!

Also, I met Elemenopeo (Bryon) at a card show here in Charlotte before he moved away...ALSO A JERK!....Nah, just kidding. Great guy, and I hope he gets his Mantle soon!!

otwcards

I've actually met or know quite a few on here. There's probably even more that I've met that I don't know by username. Most recent CU members I've met are Publius (Joe), Margoth (Jason), Shagrotn (Andy) and Envoy98 (Josh). I've known Rogermnj (Roger) and jlzinck (Jon) for way too many years. I've broken bread with JoeOrlando (Joe) and shot the breeze with carolj (Carol). If any of you have met me, please step out from behind your CU ID's and let me know...

Ironman that was extremely uncalled for and wasnt even at all funny. Way to smear a guy whom you know nothing about. Mike's a real good guy and someone I talk to about autographs a lot. Mike is extremely knowledgable and could probably run circles around many of the so called "authenticators". In fact, he agreed that the Clemente cut was no good. So what that I got taken for 50 bucks 25 years ago? It was a chance I took back then, I JUST pulled it out of my closet and looked for opinions. Sometimes I just dont get some of the issues that people have and throw onto others. Time to grow up.

MBMiller25

<< <i>I've known MBMiller25 for 20 years. He's a very dear friend. >>



Bporter26 and I were best men is each others weddings, so I would say we know a little about each other.

prscott933

Some guy named Chris says he knows me but all I know is that he keeps leaving creepy messages on the phone and sometimes there's a pile of Ginter wrappers laying in my driveway.






See ya Tuesday Chris.

MBMiller25

<< <i>Just had a couple of beers with MBMiller25...He's a jerk!! >>




Good time tonight with Mike. Beer was cold, sushi was RAW and we talked sports and cards for 2 1/2 hours. Doesnt get much better than that!

rexvos

<< <i>I forgot, Mike (rexvos) came over to my house to help me with some football cards when I bought a collection from a garage sale. Nice guy, even gave me a Billy Cannon card. >>



yep, Bill is the only guy I have met from here.

On another board I frequent I have met at least 10-12 members though.

Geordie (TNP777) and I went to a Giants' game last season together.

SidePocket

Haven't met anyone here but probably should have when the National was in Anaheim a couple years ago.

TNP777

Like Pumpsie said, I had the great pleasure of meeting him at a Giants game last season. I live and work close to Joe (Josephcb09) and have done quite a bit of talking & trading with him. Sometime this year I hope to make the trek up to the great Pacific Northwest and meet Jason (five7teen).

Publius

Ditto that Scotty!

I met quite a few guys at the national last year, envoy, OTW, a bunch of dealers i wanted to meet, and a few I didnt. Got to meet Joey O and Rezza (sp) head grader, got autographs, I just cant get them authenticated

Ive been to alot of football games with the OCSI guys (Johnathan and Nate) including the Seahawk /Cowboy Thanksgiving game last year, went to a strip club with with quite a few guys after the national last year, that was fun although the girls dont take Largent cards as tips.... odd

Poker games at guys houses where I drank more than I lost, card shows with guys.....

This is what I love about the hobby, putting a face to a name.

pic at the Dallas game

Morgoth

I am sure i have run into alot of guys at shows and didn't know it. Me and Sabo guy (onefasttalon) set up at shows locally. See you guys at the National!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to say none. I might have passed a few at the Nationals the last few years, but do not really know anyone by face or personally.

bman90278

I personally haven't met any CU members in person, but there are many great members in the Los Angeles area I'd like to meet one day.

Brian

OTW is a great guy when he's not sleeping on the park bench.
Zep is a great guy when he leaves me packs at the local store!

ploobims

TheVon

I haven't met anyone personally, but I'm Facebook friends with one guy I met through the set registry. Does that count?

Someday I plan to go to a Red Sox game with a bunch of the guys on the Red Sox championship run threads.
