Cool story here, especially for those who go back to the old BMB's..

Just to prove he really is HughesView attachment 98389

I definitely remember that picture to prove himself on the old Beckett boards! The stuff some people keep on this site that came from the old boards never ceases to amaze me.

By the way, long time no see to many of the peeps around here!

Hey Adrian, I remember you but I gotta say, you post way too much!

 

[smapdi]

Since retiring he's gotten more into cards. He seems to have some sort of following as to what rookies to buy and I think he does box breaks and such like that.

 

[domino2012]

Oh yes I remember lots of people not believing it was him at first and then he posted pictures of himself with his BMB ID and photos of him signing cards. A blast from the past.

Ain't that the truth. I still have an old e-mail account full of BMB e-mails circa 2004 through 2008. The best is an especially hate-filled HOF Veteran's Committee exchange with a bunch of us from Feb. 2008. What's the statute of limitations on posting that stuff (with names withheld to protect the not-so-innocent, of course)? LOL...

The statute of limitations has passed. POST AWAY!

Yeah, I've done some work on a stream set up for his buddy Ben at midwest box breaks.

Last week I sold a box of 2004 Bowman Baseball Draft Picks & Prospects to a buyer. I packaged it up and sent it out quickly. I sent an email to the buyer as I always do letting them know it's been shipped out and when they can expect it. So just now I sent a follow-up email since I see the buyer has received it on Friday, again it's something I always do to make sure the buyer is happy with what they received and their overall satisfaction with the transaction.

SO, I go to contact the buyer and I see the name Phil Hughes, which I guess I hadn't noticed perhaps in my haste to get it packaged and dropped in the mail. I thought, ok, I know that name but then as this ole' noggin started working I thought "Wait a minute, the guy's name is Phil Hughes, He bought a box of 2004 Bowman Draft, and in this product there is a pitcher drafted by the Yankees who has his Autographed card in it by the name of Phillip Hughes." His eBay name is philspullz. So then I googled Phil Hughes and found he has a YouTube channel called Phil's Pulls. Maybe some of you already know this but I did not.

So I checked out the video and sure enough it is Phil Hughes, former MLB pitcher and Yankees Draft Pick. And for some older BMB members here you'll remember him being a member and posting many pics of cards that Topps and other Co's had sent him to sign. I know a lot of people then also sent him cards to get autographed which he gladly did for everyone.

So here's the video I watched that he just posted about 12 hours ago, and although I don't know if this was my box as he said he has a few other boxes of this, it's pretty cool to see him opening boxes in what he calls "Looking for my own card."

I thought it was pretty neat and I thought maybe you guys would enjoy it too!

Yeah, thats pretty cool. I have enjoyed his videos for awhile now. He makes them interesting to watch.

Oh man...POST IT PLEASE

 

[joey12508]

remember getting screamed at by a few very tightly wrapped suckers back then. the good old days.

ps dont you dare say anything bad about a hyped prospect.

 

[Pinbreaker]

He lives near me down here on So Cal. I’d like to meet up with him sometime to talk about cards.

 

[Pills]

He posts a lot of high end breaks.

I tweeted at him a couple of months ago - he still never found the red refractor auto from 04 draft.

 

[mgsherm]

I haven't posted a message in a very, very long time. As a Yankees fan I remember him as a prospect and rookie interacting with all of us. Takes me back to the good old days when I collected. Thanks for sharing!!

Cool story Randy.
The good old BMB.... do you write BMB HOF after your name when you sign autographs?

I recall that whole bit with Phil Hughes so well. It all began with someone posing the question "does anyone know of any players that are on these boards" (or something to that effect). Then a reply came in with "Me" followed by a smiling emoji. Phil then shared some cool pics of him signing stacks of cards so we could see what the process looked like.

He states that he hadn't opened the product in a long time so I would presume it's your box!

 

[u2me57]

I remember him from the old Topps board in the early 2000's.
