"So what does that make us?"
"Absolutely NOTHING!!!"
Anyone???
Seriously though nice ball. Very cool that someone you've only talked to a few times will hook you up like that.
First thought would be to buy her an authentic jersey, but that may run more than you're willing to spend (of course, she may already have one if she's that die hard). Otherwise, Martin Brodeur is the way to go for current Devils. Signed puck or photo, or something along those lines probably...
So a Yankee's focused product where you can't use the Yankees logo, or reference "Yankees" anywhere on the card? And is it also ALL Cut Signatures, and not actual on-card autos? Would be curious as to where the cuts are from (ie. old Topps, Donruss, UD cards?)
Bill Menard - Did anyone try calling the local police regarding the stolen box? Obviously we have his address, and considering it's probably a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff that was stolen, they may at least make a visit. Just a thought.
Franklin won't go down until Ackley's ready to play again, or unless he struggles REALLY BAD. They have no one else to play second (and no, Triunfel is not the answer everyday), unless they move Seager over and put Liddi at third, but why mess with Seager.
As for Bonderman, if he comes up in a...
I know I PM'd Ryan with my one thought, but thought I'd post it here too. It would be to limit the number of players removed from teams. I would love to have the Mariners in something like this, but with Griffey, Rodriguez, Johnson, Edgar and Buhner all out, it doesn't feel like it'd be worth...
Regarding the "3000 posts", I was using an example of where it someone sets a limit, but then is allowing exceptions, wasn't saying that was something you said. Regardless, doesn't matter. Sounds like Bill's got things under control, and PM has been sent to Bill regarding my participation in...
Here it is:
Here is the draft order:
1. HOU Astros - Jonathan Gray
2. CHI Cubs - Mark Appel
3. COL Rockies - Kris Bryant
4. MN Twins - Kohl Stewart
5. CLE Indians - Colin Moran
6. MIA Marlins - Clint Frazier
7. BOS Red Sox - Braden Shipley
8. KC Royals - Austin Meadows
9. PIT Pirates - Sean...
But that's my post. You limit to someone with 2 years and 3000 posts, I don't qualify. You can start making exceptions, but that then defeats the purpose of setting the limitations based on years and post count. Ultimately it comes down to reputation and that's where you need to draw the line...
Post count means nothing. I can come on here and say "thanks" and "great pick-up" until my face turns blue, just to get my post count up. I think a lot of us know who the "good guys" are and who and have been around since the old Beckett days and are reliable. You leave it to those guys and...
Hey! If you're willing to part with the '81 Topps and the Abbott/Paciorek, let me know. I sent to Abbott a while back and didn't get a return and I'm collecting M's TTM autos on Topps cards. Got tons of TTM's if you're interested.
SERIOUSLY!?!?!? Damn. Very impressed. I only ended up with a handful, and actually received a few AFTER the end of year deadline, but nothing close to 43. Would definitely be interested in another go-round, maybe with something other than '86.
Having multiple people start up the box is probably the way to go, that way everyone has a vested interest and you hopefully won't have people willing to rip off everyone. We did a TTM auto box a few years ago and thankfully it made it all the way around to everyone. But to pick one person to...
Can't wait. Exciting to finally see him play. Hopefully he'll get the start today. As for why not wait? I assume you say wait until June 1st due to service time ... I'm guessing he won't be up all season, but more until Ackley get's his stuff together (as I assume he will be sent down to...
And that's fair for sticker products. What about on-card products? It'd be impossible to release ANY type of preliminary checklist because you don't know what you'll get back. As for release dates if you don't have enough autos, well, that's another thing that collectors complain about...
I'd say pretty much everything I have is in boxes. Player Collections are in boxes, most just in penny sleeves because let's face it, Harold Reynolds cards aren't too valuable. More valuable ones are in top loaders. Will eventually move everything to top loaders when I feel like dropping the...
So you're okay if Topps releases a preliminary checklist for a product that includes Griffey, Mays and Aaron autos in the product, only to remove those at release because they couldn't obtain the autos in time? Many people pre-buy based off those preliminary checklists, and then would go...
Losing Campos I think was bigger than losing Pineda. Sure, Pineda was at least MLB ready, but the M's have the arms in the system (and weren't winning with or without Pineda), they had NOTHING in the way of hitters. I still have some faith in Montero, especially if he goes DH and can focus on...
So if Montero comes back up and plays DH/1B and hits .300-8-20 over the last month of the season, it's still a lose? It's not a "lose/lose" until either player is off the teams. This is actually a good move if they're looking to move him to a long-term first baseman or DH. Give him time to...
Cancel, block and avoid the headache. The problem with what everyone else is saying is that ebay will do NOTHING about it. The buyer won't get kicked off, the buyer won't be punished, etc. And then if they DO actually do something, the buyer just starts up another account and is back in...
