From the Vick Ballard signing yesterday

My 2013 Bowman

Me with Vick

Very nice guy. We talked about his dog. He tweets and vines about it, so we struck up a conversation about it. This was one of the best signings I have been to. There was hardly anyone there. Crystal and I had a 10 minute BS session with him. We didn't have anything else for him to sign because Crystal already got him on her Colts helmet, but he grabbed a poster that was there and signed it and gave it to us as well. People were getting several items signed and he didn't care. They would keep going through line, so finally he would ask people if they had anything else they wanted signed and just sign multiples at once. It wouldn't have been like that if it were packed, but since it was slow, he was very accommodating.

and my replacement is...

 

[A_Pharis]

*drumroll*

 

[Ty Hope]

Joe Sakic / Patrick Roy dual hockey auto #d to 25. On-card auto.

I know NOTHING about hockey. Is this a good card???

 

[Ty Hope]

It's from a set called The Cup. Pic in a sec.

 

[Ty Hope]

How did I do?

 

[JackLondon]

I should have waited until you posted and been like, "What Andrew said, XXXXXes!"

Instead, I failed. :lol:

 

[muskiesfan]

Is that Crosby? One of the few current hockey names I know. :lol:

Andrew- :lol: From now on, I will defer to you in areas of your expertise.

 

[JackLondon]

Are those autos on card?

 

[Ty Hope]

Are those autos on card?

yup. One of the things I requested from UD. Told them any sport. Should have said NFL or NBA...lol

OK. Any questions about literature theory, English grammar, Rod Carew, Jack London, and good places for tacos and/or chili dogs, come to me. For everything else, you are on your own.

I do know that the Cup is the highest end hockey product. I think both guys are/will be hall of famers, so seems like an okay replacement...

Sounds good to me, except for the chili dogs. I love Skyline Chili. It's a Cincinnati thing, but thankfully the have places in Indy.

Send an order of that down this way, Kevin!

 

[Ty Hope]

Well, now I'm done with both Topps and UD redemptions. Now I just need my Panini redemption to arrive and I am free.

Good Morning Everyone!!

George - Hit 'em straight!!

I would have thought #2 would have had commas:

2. Rumor has it that nobody is better, than George, with the foot wedge.

But I guess I would have been incorrect.

Ralph - if you keep talking smack about the Dodgers, I will personally put a Foot Wedge in your bag!!

Joe - Nice!!!!
