Very cool! Wish I was in on this... Seems fun... Good luck gents!!

These games are tough to pick today. Part of me thinks the easy picks are SF and NE but its never easy. That being said I'm going with Baltimore pulling the upset but sticking with SF. Hate having a all harbaugh Super Bowl but it would be a good one (so would SF and NE)

G'morn gents & gals!

Been mostly MIA due to some personal issues, shingles and losing a friend. Trying to motivate myself back into active collecting.

Sad to hear Musial's passing. Now he can play some baseball with the greats in a Field of Dreams out somewhere.

Hope everyone here is starting off well in 2013....Happy New Year!

Welcome back Jamison. Sorry to hear about the personal stuff hope things look up for you this year on the personal side and the collecting side.

Well, I went through Beckett and looked at the entire checklist. The DEFUNCT category would include the possibility of four hits: Duke Snider, Warren Spahn, Willie Mays and Monte Irvin. That's it really in terms of GU and Auto. Because of the way DK did Expos cards, whoever picks Washington Nationals will get Montreal Expos included. DK has a lot of Vlad, Brad Wilkerson, Jose Vidro etc. as Expos.

So what say you all? It seems fair to me to keep it at 4 slots each, as this DEFUNCT category is a gamble - may not get anything, may get one nice hit. Mostly I was just trying to be fair and let all 8 in the break get 4 draft slots.

I admit I don't love it...as I'm pretty sure that, being the last pick, I'll wind up with the "defunct" spot (perhaps I'm wrong, I dunno). But I certainly understand your reasoning and appreciate your trying to make it fair for everyone.

Oh, guess I'm not. #1 overall pick would be. Duh. My mistake.

Calm down, brother. I'm detecting you getting your back up. No one's ticked off. We're just talking here.

You're talking, everyone else is is laughing at you. Any other questions? If not let's just draft and move on.

Whoa, where is this coming from? I don't think anyone was laughing at me. I was being polite and asking honest questions, and I'm satisfied with the answers I got. I was respectful and wasn't rude to a soul.

It's looking to me like you think I was causing a problem by simply making inquiries about the whole draft process. I think we're all mature guys and have the ability to communicate articulately and honestly without issue arising. You're a good bunch and I trust you, and I don't think I've given reason for you not to extend the same respect in my direction.

Sorry guys, been working all day. I will take the Twins

Curious I am!
