True.

Looking forward to your pickup thread Alex (P N W)

Soon I hope if I am lucky I will have time after work. Here is a preview...

BIG thanks to @Those Back Pages for letting me piggyback on his PSA submissions. This was my very first card to get graded. I picked up the Mantle from my LCS for a really good price and was shocked at the outcome:

Very Nice Alex!!

 

[MojoDan]

Hope it all works out for you Alexs.

You have got to be kidding me!!!!

From me to her in reply to her initial email:

Claudia,
I know you stated that you don’t have certain cards just laying around. But I would like to know if you have low numbered cards. With this proposal I have to think that these autos are out of what 99? Or higher? The only player that is of any interest to me would be Adrian Gonzalez from the names you sent and only if he is in a Dodgers uniform. What year is the Tribute and what brand of Tribute? I hope it is not WBC. The other real issue I see with this, is that there is definitely a possibility that more redemptions could be pulled from those packs. And look where that has gotten me so far.

Her reply to my email:

Hi Alex,
Unfortunately we do not have any low numbered Auto’s here…. The Adrian Gonzalez is in Boston Red Sox uniform and its numbered 30 out of 150…the Luis Tiant is numbered 9 out of 99… the Dale Murphy is 75 out of 208….
The Tribute is 2013 Tribute hobby…. As far as on the pack its days 1 auto or 1 relic numbered 99 or less in every pack….
Let me know what you would like me to do …

And my reply to that:

Claudia,
I am sorry, there is no way take you up on this offer. I know you are trying to help but this is nowhere close to what I should be receiving not to mention any teams I would like. I know you are trying to go value for value, but one card with a certain amount is definitely NOT equal to several cards adding up to that amount, plus adding packs of cards that I have no idea what I would be getting in them. I buy what I need for my collections and stay away (now) from the biggest gamble in the Hobby called opening boxes. Sorry I cannot make this deal.

Regards,

Alexs, sounds like you should ask for game-used Giants cards; they'd probably then send you Dodgers autos!

Bro, it is like talking to the help desk, where they say they hear you and then create a ticket for something totally different!

Going to try to register for classes so that I can start applying for jobs.

Also will be working on my gaming channel so that I'm ready to go on launch night.

Good afternoon.

Working. It says that its only 82 outside, but it feels a lot warmer than that. I'm sure mowing and wearing jeans all day doesn't help that much

Nice. Any good classes you're looking at?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Nice. Any good classes you're looking at?

Most of my classes look to be biology oriented, which makes me nervous. I haven't had any biology classes since 10th grade. I also have a Chem class, and a Medical Terminology class that I have to do.

The nice thing is is that I have 6 classes, and an entire year to get them in, so I don't have to do too much at once.

You want some custom ones like mine, or are you talking actual cards?
