As the show opened after the VIP gathering, Eric, Julie and I got in line to get in the show and go straight to the Topps booth to get the Puig redemptions. I bought the boxes while Eric and Julie got in line. To get the Gypsy Queen Puig card, I had to purchase a box of WBC Tribute and give the outer wrapper to get the card. I sold the Puig for over $90 last night.
It's hard to see the names on the patch cards. On the left is Fernado Rodney, right scan is Miguel Montero.
LOL Good luck with thatI am going to have them contact me. Then place them on hold for 3 hours. Let's see how long they last.
Hello boys.
This is my first post since May 16th...
I hope all is well.
I haven't really had much time for the hobby this summer, as I have been suffering through one medical mallady or another since May.
I started having chest pains and shortness of breath one day after working out, so I went to the the doctor, who referred me to a cardiologist. But before I could go to that first appt, the symptoms got even worse, so I spent the night in the ER hooked up to various and sundry equipment. They sent me home saying my blood tests, ekg, and xrays were all fine.
So I followed up with the cardio, who decided to perform a myoview stress test, in which I got shot up with nuclear medicine twice, and ran uphill on a treadmill for 10+ minutes before my heartrate got to where they wanted it to be. All tests, scans, etc came back fine.
So it turns out that I actually have G.E.R.D. which can cause all the same symptoms as a heart attack...fun.
I was then referred to a gastroenterologist, and have been scheduled for an endoscopy for quite a while now, but I have to keep putting that off, because in the middle of June, something (I don't know what) happened to my back, and for the last 6 weeks I have had a bulging disc putting pressure on my sciatic nerve and sending stabbing, searing pain down the back of my leg.
I'm scheduled for my 2nd round of epidural steroid injections on Wednesday to hopefully get the pressure down, so that life can return to normal. As it has been, all I can do is barely make it through work, and then come home and crash. No working out, can't enjoy my pool, can't play in the yard with Olivia, and no NSCC...
This summer has sucked royally...but I am going to try to make more of an effort to say hello here, as I have missed talking to you guys, and clearly have missed a lot in the hobby, and in all your lives as well.
Cheers
A big part of this that has not been discussed, I would imagine, is the fact that this new member has generally conducted him/herself like a ******* in other threads since joining. It might be more accepted if they were, as Alex suggested, "respectable". Even just being liked in general would help lol
The MT norm, not rule, was discussed about the time of the Miggy situation when we had multiple threads daily and many started by members that drove MT and FCB contributors away from the site. At that time the MT thought it best for Dan to continue starting the weekday thread due to continuity and regularity, something carried over from the BMB. Also Dan had always been a driving force behind gifts and other good deeds. I do realize that he has done this awhile and a break may be in order. As a mod I try not to start the thread and only do so if it is not started by 630 or so on the weekend, which is rare.
Since this issue has once again arisen how do we as a unified team move forward so everyone feels included and welcome.
A. Should one person, does not need to be Dan, be the daily starter?
B. Any member that posts throughout the day can start the thread at appox 5a?
C. Other?
Honestly I lean to B but have stuck with A based upon group norms that are more than 15 years old. If Dan wishes a break I say B but hope that someone will also not let gifts, cards, and tributes fall to the wayside. Also please continue the distinguishable title so the MT is easy to locate.
