I am starting over, and I couldn't pass this up....

Well after my recent disaster in losing nearly all of my high end stuff and my PC's I decided to start over. I was talking to a friend recently who had something that I couldn't pass up in adding to my new collection. I worked out a deal with him on it and he was more than understanding of my situation so we bartered a fair deal.

I am not switching sides to the bad guys but I have a ton of respect for this guy...........so without further adieu, I give you the start and probably cornerstone of my new collection........




I still have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go to get back up on my feet, but this is a good start. I want to say thank you also in advance to those of you that have offered to help me out. I really appreciate it.

I remember when my cousin's house burned down after some burglars broke in and set it on fire. He was a huge Tarheel fan/Ripken fan/ Chris Mullin fan. I gave him a huge stash of my PC at the time of these guys and went to local shops and shows to try to find stuff to replenish his collection. I never really thought of karma but I guess it does come around to help me out when I'm in need.

WOW, that's one heck of a card!!

I'm extremely sorry to hear about your situation, but glad that you decided not to quit!

SICK!!!!

whats something like that run?

well one recently sold for 850 BO. Thats not what I gave for it but thats a gauge as to what it goes for. LOL

From a Williams collector, I'm envious. I have a few Williams auto's , but don't have any Williams cuts. Thats easily one of the best looking ones I've seen.

Way to kick if off with a BANG, Brian!! That is a beautiful card. Glad to hear you are starting anew.

Wow...that is SICK! :shock: Congrats on the pickup & glad to see you're still in the game after what happened.

Yeah I decided to have some fun with it. I won't be buying stuff for a while because of my cashflow bind but its not bad. Like I said, some people have been looking out for me.

I think thats a fantastic card Brian.

Maybe in this new role, you'll go quality over quantity?

Perhaps. We shall see. I have a mailday to post from moxacaine a little later so I would say I am going to do it right.

What else do you collect? I don't have any Zimmermans, but want to send you some stuff to help get the PC running again. Teams? Players?

Wowowowow!!! Now that's a sharp card. Congrats Brian :mrgreen:

Very nice card Brain and it will be the cornerstone of the new and improved Blanning PC.

Snaps looks like I'll be heading to the post office again tomorrow. LOL

Hey I was just kidding with you dude. I can't and won't ask for anything from anyone. I do understand though how the brotherhood works and I have helped before when it was needed. I really appreciate the thought Ty. It really helps me knowing there are good people like all of you that are willing to listen to my rants.

Very sharp card, Brian. On second look...UMMMMM, WOW!!!!

That's a great way to get back into the game...
