Re: Just upgraded my Shield Nickel collection. This is one tough series and now, at last the collection

He will bilk the Red Sox for every possible dollar and… -
Re: My thoughts on 'name calling'
<< <i>This has been a very interesting thread. I remember a whack-job forum member who got bammed for pushing the pissing minuteman die crack! I argued with him that is was just a stinking die crack.

Re: The OFFICIAL put a fork in Dimaggio's 56 game hit streak post
I was really hoping that no one would have brought this up .... I have no idea what Utley is doing. I think he is just having a nice little stretch of games, nothing more. Nothing to see hear. Move along. As far as 1941 - Williams had the better season. As far as Ripken - I like him alot, but his streak should not have… -

Re: Your Most Memorable Sporting Event Ever Attended

Re: Cent on Nail "mint error" certified
The reason I asked earlier what type of nail was because I have worked years in Aerospace/machine shop/robotics atmosphere and have seen things like "CaptHenway" is talking about below: "I agree" FWIW, my mentor in errors, Ed Fleischmann of Coin World's Collectors Clearinghouse, told me a story about how, not long after…
