Just got home with a stack of 1952 Topps baseball cards all 1-3rd series only. They look pretty clean and are in Vg-Ex to Ex-Mt with a small amount of Nm. They are all un organized and Im about to pop in Pink Floyd and organize all of these sexy cards. Ill post pics once I get through with all of these. The Wall............

Comfortably Numb is a good choice.

Much like I am the very unusual computer nerd/IT guy that hates both Star Wars and Star Trek, I am also the unusual Pink Floyd fan that prefers the post-Waters stuff to anything else. While I love "Wish You Were Here", "Dark Side of the Moon" and so on, I find "Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "Division Bell" to be their strongest work. Huge fan of "Sorrow", in particular. I just started playing guitar a couple weeks ago and "Sorrow" is the main thing I'm working on learning right now. Yeah, it's not coming along well

Agree with you on the Rush comment!!

LodiBrewFan · August 30, 2011 9:39AM

I'm just now starting to appreciate Rush. Late bloomer in that regards. Lovin me some Tom Sawyer.

Pink Floyd rocks in a mellow way!!!!!!

Clue me in guys. Big Rush fan also but I thought he started in the late 80s.

Ahh Finaly got a pic up.

This is my child! Shes sweet!

pmcollectour · August 30, 2011 7:27PM

There is a card, last name Wright (Rick) in the 52 Topps set, and a card, last name RUSH as well.

stevek · August 30, 2011 7:36PM

I would agree...that is a stack.

onebamafan · August 30, 2011 10:59PM

"Money" is always a consideration with a transaction like this. You have to take the "time" to "breathe" with a find like that, so you do not get "brain damage", otherwise you might not find "any colour you like" on your cards. Cool pickup!

jeffcbay · August 31, 2011 12:37AM

I prefer the Modern Day Pink Floyd/Rush type music. (TOOL)

stevek · August 31, 2011 12:47AM

I looked at the group photos, but which one's Pink?

KeepItWarm · August 31, 2011 12:58AM

"One Slip" is a killer song....thats a FAT STACK of '52's!

One must be careful to not have a "momentary lapse of reason" and end up dropping a card or three, resulting in feelings of "sorrow". Just pull aside "another brick in the wall" and store them there. I know you have "high hopes" for this pile of cards while I, personally, am "lost for words" on the sheer size of the stack.

Actually the closest band to Pink Floyd is Porcupine Tree, especially their earlier albums with songs like "Waiting". Recently they scored a big hit with the song "Lazarus" which has a lot of Floyd in it. They are the from England and Steve Wilson sings like Dave not Roger. Also they put on an amazing light show and have movies for their songs like Floyd.

Porcupine Tree tickets are amongst the hardest to get when they tour in the US of any foreign band.

Another very popular Metal band with a ton of Floyd in them is Agalloch. The song "She Painted Fire Across the Sky" is very Floydian.

Pink Floyd eh?.....never heard of them.

Nice stack of 52s!

That's weird cuz you have a Pink Floyd picture in your avatar.

Downtown1974 · August 31, 2011 9:24AM

"Animals" is my favorite album, but I love the album cover for "Division Bell".

Haha...albums.

calaban7 · August 31, 2011 11:19AM

Late to the show here , but being a huge Pink Floyd fan , I'd go with " Sheep". It more than describes what's going on in this country , in a simplistic way. But since most have already swallowed the blue pill , they'll never know the difference.--- Sonny

PS--- Very nice 52's.

Pink Floyd - Money

Money
Get away
You get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money
Well, get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off of my stack
Money
It's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullsh __ i t
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
I think I need a Lear jet

Money
It's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise
It's no surprise that they're giving none away

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

There's been a show running a lot on PBS lately - Austrailian Pink Floyd. Caught a couple songs while flipping through channels the other night. They really got them down to a tee

I had never heard of that tribute band until last weekend. I decided to watch for a few minutes. They started playing Run like hell and my wife (who was on the computer doing whatever at that point) turned around and said..."that is awful...who is ruining that song?"

She's a casual music listener at best, but she knows the song and was not impressed at all!

Waiting and wanting to see those 1952 scans...

*starts humming the Jeopardy theme*

itzagoner · September 2, 2011 9:11AM

One of these days, I'm going to cut your cards into little pieces

rbdjr1 · September 2, 2011 10:02AM

let's look at the 52's from another point of view:

The B-52's - Love Shack

rbdjr1 · September 2, 2011 10:20AM

... well at least I'll show a scan of an olde '52 of mine!

(a B-52 that is!)

my olde B-47 is a cousin of the '52!

pit · September 2, 2011 10:26AM

All you have to do is follow the worms. Would you like my friend to post some scans?

Sounds like a pretty friggin awesome night.
