**************** Saturday Morning Thread *********** 6 22

I have had three redemptions in with Topps for over a year. They are all crap-ola players, so, at this point, I am just hoping for equal value replacements (crap=crap) so I can be done with the Topps redemption merry-go-round.

In my email to them, I felt I was being pretty helpful in that I just asked for three cards with ink on them from any player, any sport, any era. Of course, no response to any emails.

I am with those of us who, from now on, will just sell off redemption cards, ESPECIALLY if it is a high-end pull. I would have to guess now that the chances of actually getting the card promised can't be anywhere close to what it would take to inspire confidence in the process. Over the years, I would say that I have probably pulled about 15-20 Topps redemptions. Of those, a whopping 6 have been fulfilled with the stated card.

Yes, Topps sucks.

About 2000 - 3000 on weekends several hundred on week nights . This area has over 10% unemployed , cost $3.00 park and $7.00 tickets . At least 100 regulars at all games . Win or lose same people just follow baseball . We started as White Sox then Pirates last couple years Rangers . I can walk around and tell who is not regular and will speak to those LOL .
Of all the home runs hit this year by our team my son and I have about 25 SIGNED - no snakes seen yet but blackberries not ripe yet and weeds on bank hide some monster home runs , ground hogs seen often . Son got one HR ball last night . On weeknights when hitter is up we go out the gate . I get about five autos a game average AFTER the kids , i'll call players to sign for small kids - even other teams sign well .

Weather has been insane. A tornado was confirmed close to home. Up here, they got unbelievable rain. It pooled up in many places and raised the Mississippi significantly.

Seems to be all done for now though.

Morning everyone.
Sunny skies are out. Large parts of the city are still evacuated, including the downtown core.

The Saddledome where the Flames play is flooded from the ice level to the first luxury boxes about 20 rows up. The jumbotron control room, locker rooms and so much memorabilia is gone.

Deadly floods force 75K from Calgary homes

Floodwaters that devastated much of southern Alberta left at least three people dead.

This has been so sad to follow Jesse I'm glad you and CL are safe, but I wish the best for everyone you may know that was affected greatly.

I may know 1 person affected by the flooding, but our entire parks depot is underwater. They moved the trucks, but I'm sure we lost everything else, anything and everything landscaping and heavy duty mower related.

There is a /5 josh Johnson for our Amish

Two cards I'm interested in from this particular person. Hopefully a deal can be made. Just got the JJ /5 in a week or so back, but, as you can tell from my collecting habits, I do enjoy dupes

Joey Bats decided it!

It's so neat to check the columns in the standings that indicate last ten games (10-0) and streak (W10). Have now kind of moved out of the cellar, tied with TB for 4th.
