I am also a mail carrier, former manager (13 years until a rash of downsizing due to plant closures), and most of what was said is incorrect. The post office is NOT government subsidized in any way. We receive not one penny of tax dollars. It is all postage that pays for everything. PERIOD...
Cool! Glad you went official. I have seem some lesser quality paintings done on generic baseballs, and it just doesn't seem right. Must say again, sweet painting! Are you going to get it signed? Seems to be the perfect touch...
I was thinking more like Roberto Alomar. To me, it doesn't look a thing like Ripken.
But then again, maybe I am just jealous because those are friggin awesome cards!
I love the idea of this thread. One I will be following for sure! Be cool if it was a sticky at the top of the forums. Great resource for the uneducated like me on everything else not Henderson!
Wow, I looked at the list from 2009, and realized how many I have accumulated since then. Don't tell my wife. I am over 6000 now. Due to the prices of Henderson cards, I don't think I will get another 2000 cards in 8 years. I will give it my best shot though!
My first auto was one I yelled "Holy S$!#!" after I pulled it! A 1993 Leaf Frank Thomas Card. Still have it and the actual pack wrapper I pulled it out of.
