Griffey Collector's Thread

That's cool! Saw it on his bucket site!

ppppplease don't bring out the Red Crusade!!! Last time he did there was a pissing contest in here about who'd be willing to spend more money to buy one. I'm feeling broke and insecure enough as it is :-o

I wasn't a member at that time since I am new on here but I'm with you buddy!:-o

as of 11/23/10 I pretty much stepped down from the collection world

hey, magic - what happened on Nov 23, 2010 that prompted your exit from collecting? If it's personal just forget i asked, curious is all.

 

[magicpapa]

Cool! That is a nice card for sure! Yeah, in collecting cards there comes a point where you realize you have spend as much as you are willing to spend and I am realizing that there are just a ton of Griffey cards out there and I can't expect to get every one myself but am thrilled with how many rare ones I have come across! Just wondering how old you are? I'm 32 but most people think I look around 26!

I'm old enought to know better, and young enough to do it again

ah ha - the extra 2 days threw me off

my dads bday is the 23rd

that works too - i was born in PA like Griffey (northeast corner, though) and went to La Salle HS in Cincinnati - Griffey was the best local athlete to come out of that area...ever. Never got to see him play while he was at Moeller though. More's the pity.
