***** Black Friday Morning Thread *****

Those are cool aren't they. It's a fun job, I worked Pepsi in Iowa. The freebies are nice but I don't eat or drink 98% of any product we do. Kinda funny.

Anyone know what point of thickness for one touch holders I need for tribute autos and legendary cut autos?

Thanks to those who worked today.

However, my favorite part of the day is not getting out oft PJs and having leftovers.

Aaron signing just announced in my area for February. Up to $300 for standard card. I'd love to meet him but yikes, could get at least 3 slabbed for that

Picked up 2 1TB external HDDs. 1 for me if I'm going to start shooting RAW. 1 for my parents for Xmas. Low price of $60 each.

I picked a couple up as well. One to back up my laptop and one for the wife's desktop. Learned a hard lesson when my HD crashed a few weeks ago.

Looking at this years hof ballot I knew Mussina was good and I never wanted my team to face him but I never realized his career record was 270-151. Retired a year or two early and ERA was a tad high at just over 3 but considering when he played it's not that bad

Exhausted... 3 more hours... Wish I had grabbed that skylines off comc. That card never pops up. Just kicking myself in the ass for that one.

Good day.

Got the greatest hockey autograph in for my collection today, at least in my mind

Probably not someone that anyone here has heard of, but that's what makes it unique IMO.

I would, but the scanner is unusable at the moment, and it's at the apt.

Region 3 Goalie on this list:

This is why it's important:

"Although they fell victims to Eveleth in what is still the worst defeat in tournament history, the Granite Falls Granites of 1945 have become one of the most famous teams in Minnesota hockey lore, especially to those who cheer for the underdog. As did Staples, the Granites came to the tournament without regular uniforms. They were accustomed to playing in long pants and sweatshirts, with perhaps the most storied feature of their outfits being the newspapers and magazines that the players stuffed into their pants for shin guards. At the start of the tournament, Granite Falls was loaned uniforms for the tournament borrowed from St. Paul Monroe High School, although goalie Gorman Velde stuck with his trusty football helmet to help protect himself from the 31 shots that Eveleth whizzed his way. Once the game began, unexpected delays occurred; the Granites were unacquainted with blue lines and offside rules, so referee John Gustafson provided instructions as to how the game was to be played. Granite Falls won its next game, downing Rochester (2-1) in the first round of consolation play on Friday. The Granites came to the tournament the next year for their second and last time, losing both games they played. Of all the teams in the 1945 tournament, only Staples never returned."

He didn't have a career past high school, so being able to get his autograph was almost impossible, and I nailed it.

I sent along 2 index cards, and one was signed (beautifully, might I add), while he wrote me a long message on the other.

When it comes to me, state legends are far more important than NHL and Olympic ones (only in hockey though).

Good Evening Everyone. Worked 3:30am to 5:00pm at my regular job for black Friday and then went and put in three hours at my part time job. Cam home and had 7 packages in the mail box and one at the door. With all the hours I am putting in, I don't have time to scan anymore lol, but I did receive what I believe will be the last card in my MTSS.

How come Darrell Evans doesn't have a sweet spot auto or a decent looking auto card.. I have one but dang it's ugly. Think topps could update and do this 400hr hitter some cardboard justice
