    I heard Oscar is guarding the 1952 Topps cards..........no wonder they haven't surfaced...anyways, here are the two reasons I've sold cards in the past.....the two bigger one's are mine, not the little one...wife and I stopped at 2, the other is a niece. May have to sell more of my sets when they start eating us out of house and home as teenagers!!!!.image

    Bobby, I just wanted to say thanks for getting me punched today. Me and my wife were checking out all the pics today and I didnt even notice Nikki was holding a dog. A punch from my wife soon followedimage

    Cool thread idea, lawnmowerman. Enjoying seeing everyone's mugs and putting a face with the icons & personalities on here.

    Here's me and the wife last Thanksgiving. Why she married a card-collecting geek like me I'll never know.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the nice responses for my son Zach. I'm actually sitting here at the hospital in the activities room using a PC. He has actually gotten a little better since last weekend and looks like maybe another week and he'll be home. It'll be just under a month here, but as long as he comes home ok...thats cool with me, he's worth it!! image Again, thanks to all. -Claude

  • 1966CUDA1966CUDA Posts: 2,013 ✭✭✭✭
    Actually, he's not much into the cards as I would like, only shows marginal interest. My 3 year old on the other hand, LOVES baseball cards. He has a 3200 count box of older off-condition stuff that I keep adding to. Every time I am going thru cards, he asks for more for HIS box. He cant read yet, but knows every card in the box just from the pictures. Knows all the hall-of-famers and stars just from their photos. It's cool when he goes to shows with me, he starts naming players in the cases and the vendors are amazed when I tell him he's not reading the names, just recognizing the faces. So he can name the players even from different years than the cards he has cuz most the players faces dont change that much...i mean, comeon, doesn't Yogi STILL look the same!! image

    thanks again!

  • is it just me, or does mcholke have an uncanny resemblance to John Elway???
    Just here to pass on information that you should know.

    All the best to Zach. Sounds like things are going really well!
  • I thought mcholke resembled Orel Hershiser. Sans glasses, of course.

    Yes, but then so does Candian female Olympic rower Silken Laumann. Might need more than one picture to decide. image

    This is myself and Joe Ferguson a couple of years ago at a local minor league game. Joe was the catcher on the field when Hank Aaron hit #715. I asked him what pitch he called for and he replied "A fast ball, but NOT there!"

    Very nice guy who signed a ball and card for me.

    Me too. This is getting scary. I know more about A.C. Moore, acid free paper and sheerers than I ever cared to.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but Zach's homecoming put a smile on face.
    I like it when the good guys win.

    LOL, it's Michaels for me. Those damn 40% off coupons suck her in. I can name every make and model of Revell model cars they sell from countless hours of staring at them. It's the only isle with a whiff of testosterone.image
