5AM here in the East. Up at 'em folks! :lol:

Pretty pumped about a possible "Steal" on the auction site from '12 Topps retail. Will post when it ships, "Guest Cat" is still lurking. Probably way over-stating it, but taking it as a sign the "dark clouds" that have loomed over us here for 2 or 3 weeks are finally lifting. Heck, even the In-laws, who were supposed to move out in June '11, finally moved out!

For those of you who didn't see it here is Andrew Luck's first stat line. Keep in mind it is Preseason and it was at home against the Rams:

10/16, 188 yards, 2 TDs (63 on first attempt and 23 to Collie). Even 1 rush for 9 yards.

Also, heard good reports for RG3 and Peyton.

Picked up a 1/1 I have been looking for since 2007 last night. Hopefully it comes in this week.

I thought the Colts-Rams game would be on NFL Network but I was out of Luck when it replayed the "Mistake by the Lake" vs Deadtroit game. Thank you illegal streamers. Luck looked like a pro. His young receiving corps also looked decent, granted it is only the first preseason game. I have a feeling this team will turn some heads. I'm not saying they're going to the playoffs this year but it wouldn't be inconceivable in that division either. The Rams did not look together just yet but the rookies looked good. Givens is fast and perhaps the Rams version of Mike Wallace, Quick had a couple clean routes, while Pead appeared to have staying power after a slow start. The team looks like it will need the entire preseason to gel but Bradford should have a much better year when all is done.

Guest cat is leaving the hobby, so you're safe....I hope. He's trying to pawn his stuff to any sucker who doesn't know of his terrible reputation.

The auction ended a month ago and is not in completed listings. I would post a pic, if I could find it. Doubt anyone wants a plate of a guy who never made it out of training camp. I just finally followed up on my initial offer to buy it after it went unsold and got the deal done. Real excited about it.

Hey guys. I know I don't post too much other than in my Michigan pickup thread, but thought you guys would like to see this one. Just got it recently.

Man, nice card JG!

If you guys won't mock me for lousy scanning/cropping/editing skill, I can finally post some recent pick-ups later...

Nice grabs white was cool as a yute!

He was cool! For me anyway, I was 5 and he was the Punter AND the QB! Can't beat that Combo! :cool:

One of, if not the biggest, Bridesmaid EVER in football. Maybe Jim Kelly too...

White finished 2nd in the PAC-8 twice, second in the World League, lost 3 strait NFC Champ. games and 6 Arena league Title games, 3 in a row, as an Coach. Hard to do that! :lol:

Actually, he was a Helluva player, was under-appreciated and had to follow the footsteps of an Icon too, but man, losing those three Championship games kept him from being a bigger name...

I did forget to mention the One condition for which I will send you the Gun.

You must remove the over-exposed/hyped under-sized, one year wonder salsa-dancer from your Sig, or at least move him off the same page as the greatest NFL Coach ever...

Even non-Cowboys fans gotta be a little down that Witten might miss some time...

I personally think he'll be Starting the first game at NY. He's shown he's one of the toughest dudes on any field. We'll see how it turns out, but Dallas cannot have him miss too much time for it to hurt their already-inconsistent Offense.
