I've given out 7 likes. I am probably waaaaay behind on doing that. (Not sure if there is a stat sheet or whatever)


Uh oh. What'd ya do?.

Probably posted some *****-Canadian liberal propaganda in the General Chat thread that that a red-blooded Right Wing American either didn't like or took offence to.

I haven't posted anything negative about Topps since the new Like/Dislike, I promise


(At least I have Scott and Andrew and Ralph in there sometimes )

Good morning guy's, well, actually it's afternoon. I just woke up.

Twins game was fun last night, even though we lost. I have now seen every AL Central team play.

It was Fransisco Liriano's debut with the Sux. He tossed 8ks.

AJ blasted a 2 runner in the 8th to put it away.

These guys were on the jumbo screen. It made the whole place go nuts.

Good afternoon guys. Went to breakfast with my girlfriend and then we both ended up falling asleep watching the Olympics this morning

I'm going to need the help of a few FCB friends for those nationals, to pick up a few cards; list available by PMs. Finders fees that you won't regret

Baseball card inspired crepe's?

Good Morning(ish) Gents!!! It kinda hurts the head with this damn sleep schedule for this week. Should fly by though. I'm envious of any and all going to the Natty. I wish there was one closer to the PNW as it is really tough to justify airfare, hotel stay and such even before the hobby budget to take there.

Frenchie - I'm on a hunt for a card as well. I'm about to create a thread for non-Natty collectors to post their needs. Maybe that will help us out a bit

 

[Weimer]

Hey guys. What's up? I'm just sitting here bored. Like every other day. Yay!

Very nice pick-ups Alex!

Scanning some slides from 1988 I took with my Contax RTS. It's taking time to figure out how to scan, enlarge, and edit the photos. Scans will be posted soon.

A.J. Foyt eating lunch after qualifing on Saturday afternoon at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. He crashed the next day in the opening laps, had major surgery and really didn't race much after the accident.

Nice Alex! Now get them redeemed!

 

[thefatguy]

Ralph, awesome shots!

Alex, nice pickups.

 

[MojoDan]

Hope the autos get back to you fast Alex

 

[metallicalex777]

Ralph - Sweet scans of the slides!!! Those turned out really well

Scott - Thanks! Just redeemed them today. I have some pretty amazing cards pending with Topps right now: The red and base Felix, 2011 Marquee triple patch auto of Tom Seaver /5 (pack pulled), 2012 Museum Collection jumbo patch auto of Hunter Pence (pack pulled) and a 2012 Tier One clear rookie reprint auto of Ken Griffey Jr. (pack pulled). Hoping they all come soon!

Jesse - Thanks bud!!! Says a lot from you since it is Topps so I know you mean it well

Dan - Thanks and I agree on the timing! Look above at Scott's reply I did to see what else I have pending...the Tom Seaver was to be shipped in January of this year so it is already 7 months late. Don't want to take a chance on a replacement on that since it is a triple patch auto.

 

[schillingfan]

Damn Alex. That's quite a haul you will be getting (hopefully) soon.

 

[metallicalex777]

Damn Alex. That's quite a haul you will be getting (hopefully) soon.

Thanks again! It is a bit stressful once they start going past the "shipping" date, but luckily I am a man of patience and can hopefully get the majority of them. My biggest hope is that the Griffey rookie reprint is numbered 24/25...I figure I have a "decent" chance at landing that one haha.

 

[thefatguy]

Alex, I said they were nice.

Nothing more
