Nice, this your yard? Also, what is the story with your sig "2012 Tourist License Plate Tracker"? I'm assuming these are license plates you've seen this year?

Good looking yard Jesse. We are working on ours as well.

Yes and yes
I drive all day so its fun to see different plates. Talked to a guy from Oregon today.

Thanks Dan. That's the other expensive hobby

You aren't kidding. We are having someone do the front gardens but we do the entire back ourselves, and that takes forever.

Since Dave hasn't been around to monitor grammar, I decided to hire outside the MT.

Say hi to grammar kitty, BA. :lol:

 

[Weimer]

Hey guys.

 

[schillingfan]

Keep it rollin'

That's what I'm doing. I'm in the zone.

Up next are the Next in Line dual autographs, a set that features a current rookie as well as a prospect paired together. This idea was submitted to Topps from a collector, ​

Guillaume Robert-Demolaize,

and the cards will be limited to just five copies apiece.​

Wow the MT at 12 pages?

Good job Frenchie!

Oh, I see that the first info is being released on that, great! It was very nice of them to involve me in the creation and the design as much as they did. The preview that you can see with Bauer and Skaggs is the result of a couple of email exchange over a preliminary sketch I sent them when toying around with the idea for the set. I think it's fantastic that they are limiting it to /5, too, makes me feel a bit more special :mrgreen:

All in all, it's been quite a year with Topps to be honest; part of the "design a set" contest prize was also a box of 2012 Bowman Chrome, 2012 Bowman Sterling and 2013 Bowman!! How cool was that?

I might have another preview available for that set, but should check with Topps if I can show it around first...

Frenchie, I'll send you the crap redemption replacement I got from Topps for a 1/1 and see what you can do about it, Mr. Topps.

Ha, I wish I could help; heck, I can't even get MY redemptions delivered!!
