Thanks man!
Hope the east coasters are all safe with electricity + no damage/injuries.
The photos I have seen paint a pretty bleak picture of NJ/NY.

Good morning from a very cold southern alabama.
30 more minutes until I am off for 3 and a half days :)

Let's just say when I saw the completed listing for the Fine 9, I sat looking at my computer completely shocked for much longer than a few minutes.
I would gladly sell some of my other "rare" inserts to have financed the purchase of both of these cards, as some of the others I have, have had...
For me, it is something small, but awesome: nabbing all 3 crusades of Richard Hidalgo (plus a non-serial numbered Red).
These were easily the coolest cards when I first started collecting and I never thought I would actually get my hands on the ones of one of my favorite Astros players of all time.
Don't you hate it when you have no money for cards, so you don't spend any time searching eBay for your guy and miss out on two cards like these:
1999 Fleer Fine Nine 7/9
1999 Super Rave 1/25
The only time I have seen a copy of either of these cards for Hidalgo, and they sold for $60...
Thanks :D
I am glad to start posting more as well. My financial situation is finally getting easier to handle and I have a little on the side I am able to use for my favorite hobby, so I will be in Andrew's TCG#2 and grabbing the occasional Hidalgo card from eBay (I took a little sabbatical for...
Morning gents.
Been at work since 345 yesterday afternoon. My replacement called in sick and it took them an hour to find someone else to cover the shift, who will be taking about an hour to get here :(
The only positive is 4 days off straight and over time pay for theae extra few hours
Houston Astros
No singular favorite, but a few are:
Richard Hidalgo
Dean Palmer
Killer B's: Bagwell, Biggio, Berkman
Nolan Ryan
Rusty Greer
Juan Gonzalez
Chipper Jones
Daryl Kile
Roy Oswalt
I honestly don't think he would have EVER typed up a complete post on ALL the XXXX he has caused.
Although Coastal was a good guy in the beginning, giving away a ton of stuff on the boards here, you have done the right thing in banning him. With all the time he spent in this thread, he could...
With the lack of pitching depth in the 'Stros system, unless someone else breaks out big time, is Appel pretty much a guarantee to go to them with the first pick?
Or will they pass on him again for one of the other two big college arms?
I am not 100% committed to this just yet AIC, need to see how big my paychecks are from my new job, but let me know when you need a 100% confirmation :D
I haven't posted any of mine yet, but work has had me busy.
Going over my card, this is what I crossed off by week:
Week 1:
Bears and Opp. Both score 21+ (Team)
Bills and Opp. leading passers combine for 401-475 yds (Pass)
Bears 21-40 yds more than opp. rushing (Rush)
Week 2:
Bengals...
I'd like to think after today you wouldn't think the same of the Titans, Cody.
The Jags though, well, beating these Colts isn't exactly like beating a top team :P
I couldn't see Denver being any higher than Green Bay, New Orleans, New England, New York Giants, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Atlanta or Chicago.
After those 9, things get a little murky: the all talent team in Philly, the all injury team in San Diego, the we're back from injury team in Kansas City...
