Good morning.

Morning guys. Busy as all get out here this morning with 15 dogs all running around having a blast. It's actually warm as hell out at a whooping 23 degrees, lol.

Good morning everyone

Definitely ready for football.

This notice is required by law.

I really wish I had kept going for this set rather than parting it out.

That is a very nice set and I find myself having a hard time passing up my non-PC guys when I see one.

Morning all. Lots of stuff going on here. First of all, on the National level, it is Fun at Work Day. Good luck with that.

On a more personal note, today is my Hank Aaron birthday - we now share the number 44. I started my celebration last night at the Salem Red Sox auction. Picked up lots of cool stuff including tickets to Fenway, a gamer bat and lots of signed balls. I will try to get pics of those next week. The celebration will continue tonight in Charlottesville at the UVA (ranked #1 in the nation) annual baseball dinner and auction. Looking forward to seeing friends including @moxacaine tonight. The guest speaker is John Farrell. Nice of them to arrange that for my birthday .

Anyway, I am no where near done scanning the hits from my big mail day, but I figured today was the best day to share my two favorites.

First is this one. I know the eye appeal is not so great now, but I think it will get better with time.



Finally, since we now have something in common, I think today is the day to share this one. I will still put more scans over the coming weeks, but none come close to this one...



Edit...I should have been more clear. The above is dual auto book /10.

Make it a great day.

Morning

Brothers Calfas - hopefully this comes across as well as I would hope. When you search for cards in the hobby, specifically 90s inserts, do you have a strict standard that abide by?

I know GC is a big fan of 93 refractors, but is there a price where you just say to yourself "this is my price and I don't care if I'm saving this much I just can't go over it."

Pete - Do you stick to just buying a myriad of players but say "I will pay this much for a gold or an insert for Mo Vaughn or a Detroit player, but only if its this brand."

I guess what Im asking is, do you both have rigid guidelines that you don't deviate from, regardless of what it does/can do for your collection?

MisterT - that box of cards that you've compiled sure is incredible thus far. Wow!

Happy birthday Sir!

Good Morning Everyone, I have not had water for three days thanks to this great weather we have been having. Finally was able to work on it this morning and I have running water again. No more running to someone elses's house to take a shower before work.

Very nice cards. I finally pulled the trigger on the Dawson /25 from this set last night, can't wait to get it in.

Good morning guys. Only one class today, and that's at 9 this morning. After that, its time for the weekend. I thought about going home so I could take most of my TwinsFest haul home with me, but I think I'll wait until next weekend. My girlfriend has a track meet in town tonight, I think its only a triangular meet so they are having her run something that she's not used to running. Her dad, grandpa, and aunt are coming up to watch her. Its always a joy to be around her dad

Morning everyone. A frosty 27* here today
Happy blue Friday!!
