A little of both. Hoping to ge a few thousand out of everything I have set aside to sell. Going to put some towards the National next year and some towards putting a deck on my house.

Nice! Decks are awesome. Put a grill and some lounge chairs out there and you are set!

Yeah I bought this house from my parents a year ago this month so there are plenty of things on the list of improvements I'd like to make but that's a slow process.

I know you are in PA but do you ever make it down to the Chantilly,VA show?

Both are 63's with some writing on them.

Nice. I like the double image on the '63's.

I've never actually been to a show outside PA

National is in Baltimore next year, right? I might save up and hit that one.

Do you frequent the Chantilly show?

GC, where are with MTSS?

I should be emailing people soon.

birdsfan85 · Sep 5, 2011

Yeah next year is in Baltimore. I go to pretty much every Chantilly show I have missed 1 or 2 in 3 years.

Good Morning you Free-loaders
Man it is windy and alot cooler here today. Seems the wife wants to close the pool today since it is not going to
be over 75 degrees here for the week, so she says it is time.

Oh well I know it was coming but I hoped it was not until
say the middle to the end of this month like last year.

My win from last night. [ebay:2bd9uvbu]190569940416[/ebay:2bd9uvbu]

I will look nice next to this one.

Nice Josh, Are you going for all his backs and how many does he have?

pghbuccos · Sep 5, 2011

I think 3 or 4 different backs. I might go after all of them someday. Lower grades of course. That same picture is also on several different issues too. If what I think is a good deal pops up and pul the trigger. :lol:

69MetsFan · Sep 5, 2011

Nice win, Josh!
To think that that card is over 100 years old boggles the mind. :shock:

birdsfan85 · Sep 5, 2011

Ok just won both of these, weren't exactly at the price I wanted but still cheaper then Mays is now at shows. Looks like I have 2 new cards to work on finishing.

Laporta has only been back at AAA for 2 games but has a homer and is batting .444. Why the hell can't he hit in the majors...

gvsu96 · Sep 5, 2011

Nice additions T. Hopefully you can get Stan to sign it on a good day.

JackLondon · Sep 5, 2011

Morning all.

Actually rained last night with thunder/lightning. Thought that was reserved for you people in the other parts of the country... :?

There is a HUGE adjustment to make at each level and the one from AAA to MLB is clearly the biggest adjustment to make.

Some people just cannot adjust.

LaPorta still has time, but his clock is running out.

Look at Alex Gordon, he has adjusted nicely, and it took him like 4 years.

and after those 2 purchases i can't wait for my ebay bucks. Bill me later has bonus ebay bucks going on right now so I will just pay those 2 cards off and got $37 in ebay bucks from buying them.

up to $67 and some change which is by far the highest amount I've ever had.

tramers · Sep 5, 2011

Nice! I'm by far the highest I've ever been as well. I think the highest I ever had was like $24 and change. I'm up to $98.70 :shock:

Will be looking for a nice lot to breakdown a flip with that. But VERY tempted just to put it towards a case of my favorite product - Finest.
