hey guys
those of you that know me know that my gf works at a riverboat casino just outside of chicago. yesterday i get a text message while im at work from her saying "you will never guess who i just met". well before i was a cop i worked at the boats as a table games dealer and i met anyone...
hey guys
i have no clue how to resize a pic to make it an avatar for here (thats why i have yet to have one lol). this is the pic giving me the trouble...
its current dimensions are...100x101...lol im over by just one...
any help is appreciated!
i went to kmart after work a few weeks ago to take advantage on a blaster of something on clearance that i have never bought yet. (i was trying to look for something hockey cuz other than older wax i havent opened any new hockey in awhile.) there was a box of ultra 07-08 hockey staring at me...
ok let me just warn you off the bat...nothing major here (that i know of)...i only bought it cuz it was on clearance at kmart for a really good price. lol if anyone needs any base cards for the set just lmk. (ive never bought any of these before--are there parallels of the base set and if...
jeez saying i waited patiently for this one is an understatement!! it is a 2008 donruss threads auto rookie of tim hightower numbered 258/299. the card looks really sweet in person! (by the way, i sent this out sometime during the fall/winter of 2008 and it just came in about a week ago...
all i can say is...damn i wish i opened this box back when it came out! lol my girlfriend opened up this one (as usual) and all she kept saying is "whats with all the mcgwires?"...hopefully i can make some mcgwire collector a very happy person!!
