You know you are broke when.....

In a matter of 6 weeks you buy a

PSA 8 Ray Nitschke Rookie, PSA 8 Willie Wood Rookie, PSA 8 Hank Jordan Rookie and a PSA 10 Stadium Club Favre Rookie. Then to top that off you buy about $500 worth of HOF Rookie cards and Packer team sets to keep your sets going. Then you send in your PSA renewal free grades and they tell you your Favre Exquiste is too thick and needs an addtional shipping charge of $12.55.

And the worst part is my 1997 Grand Am just puked for the last time. Just got back from the dealer. 2004 Saab 9-3.

I'll talk to all of you in 3-6 months.

  • ....you replace the home air condition and furnace, lines and related, put new insulation in the attic, and change out the dishwasher.

    Then you start thinking, which that $5000 I could have a PSA...

    troy,

    at least you went out on a bang!! I had the same thing happen to me with a recent $13/5 day sub. Last time I sent one in there was a semi-thick card that they had would have slabbed before in a regular holder. But it came back in the new thicker slabs, but they didnt ask me to break that sub up. Now they did with this one. I as emailed saying I agree to the change but that it seems confusing as to how sometimes they dont break up the sub and other times they do. I didnt hear back about that question yet. Probably wont.

    ps, i am heading up to the game tomorrow. cross your fingers for no injuries.

    I work for Saab - let me know if you need any parts

  • when you buy a $20 Braves shirt at a Braves game in Atlanta and then get back to the hotel to see you won the auction for that $7.50 dlvd John Smoltz psa 9 rookie. Ok, maybe it's not a Saab but I'm still broke now.image

    Which Smoltz rookie?

    (Just out of curiosity...or nosiness, if you prefer.)

    Yeah. Hoping for better results on the weekend.

    That's a nice buy on a great card image

    Thanks, I did my research a little bit before I bid and that price was a few bucks cheaper than previous auctions. It sucks that the same weekend we play the D-backs, NY plays Washington and Philly plays Pitt. Oh well. Renteria gets off yhe DL tomorrow right?

    He's eligible. Not sure if he's actually ready to rock n' roll.

    You know Bobby...he'll probably keep him on the shelf for one day longer than most Managers would. He's always extra conscious of his players' health.

    Ah ha ha ha ha !

    That was a good 1 !

    I'm so poor , that I live in a 2 story Dorito Bag .
  • ...you cant afford to pay attention

    ....you start buying 88 Donruss packs to scratch that busting itch.

    ....you send in 3 cards on the $5 PSA special and pay for 2 hoping they overlook it.

    ....you lie and email Upper Deck and say your pack was missing a card.

    ....you do a NPN with postage due.

    ....you ask that "beggar" coming towards you 1st for a quarter. ( I did this once. Guy was notorious for this and always loitering around my job and I saw him at a local Target so I asked him 1st for money. His look was priceless.

    ....you think "hmm, I could list my 1988 Ellis Burks PSA 9 and get $1"

    ....your montly budget for entertainment is $10. PSA message boards and bottle.

    .....you flip a card and put the BIN at $1 over your cost.

    1) American Express calls and says: "Leave home without it!"

    2)You finally clean your house, hoping to find change.

    3)You think of a lottery ticket as an investment.

    4)Your bologna has no first name.

    And my personal favorite

    5)You owe yourself money.
