Good afternoon, thundershowers are pounding us right now.

I had a good friend of mine's mother passed yesterday. What a heartbreak and bad luck for him. Last May, his parents had their 54th wedding anniversary, and within a couple days afterward, his father passed due to a heart attack. Then last week a kid decided to make a u-turn right in front of him doing 55 mph. Luckily he swerved and took off the front of the vehicle, and totaled his van. I had to borrow my van to him so he could get to Appleton due to his mother having open heart surgery last Friday.

Looks like the services are in Appleton, WI Tuesday. I will be making my trek south a bit early to attend the funeral mass. I should be in line early Wednesday for the opening of the show.

Yeah I have been wanting this one for a while and missed out when it was first back on the market about a month ago. I was busy picking up other nice ones!

Thanks Adam and Ralph!

Just until the last 30 minutes or so we were sitting around 65ish but it has since jumped to 77. Its not hot, but being outside in the sun makes it feel a lot hotter than it is

Hello all.

I picked up some race-used sheet metal last night. 4 pieces of Jr, and 3 pieces of Pastrananananananananana.

I only wanted the Pastranananananananananananas but it was $2 flat rate shipping so I bought all the Jrs to go with it.

Figure I will fill up a page of the MT with some TTM scans. Received 7 responses over the last couple of days!

First, another one for my Angels collection:


Vic Correll:


Then four additions to my 1978 Topps collection:








And then a really awesome response. Wrote to Ed Kurpiel. He was a legendary minor league ballplayer who is sometimes credited with hitting the longest home run in history (738 ft). Really like this one!



Here is a short article about Ed:
