Thanks Magnet..

Brad I would as well.. Our seats for this weekends games our from my buddies brother in law. 1st row center field come out of the tunnel there and make a left the 5th and 6th seat down. They are not bad. We go pretty much every year and have to take in the games he(his brother in law) does not want. So we picked the A's series> Was hoping Gio would get a start(not happening) but I will get to see Cahill... Very happy to so Gonzo in person

Nice seats and Cahill is a good one to see. I will probably make it to an O's game or two. I was looking around at some driving times and am looking into a Saturday day trip to Philly and NYC. I have never been to either city, so it would be pretty cool.

I'm not too into the base rookies in Topps Rising Rookies (they look like a better done Prestige), but I do like this insert from the set. Not sure why, because I wouldn't be in to them using a combine image on a base rookie, but it seems cool as an insert.

That is good to know. I looked at promotions for the Phillies and there were none really. However, they don't need to discount tickets like the Os

All three are very cool. But Camden Yards is still my Favorite, probably 'cuz it was the first and is downtown near everything. Philly is a cool stadium but you gotta drive/subway it to anywhere to eat, hang, etc. And the food in Baltimore is cheaper and better.

And all three are better than Fenway IMO. But Boston's probably the coolest (and safest) downtown I've been in...

Cool to know. I doubt I would catch a game, at least on the first trip, but who knows. I would like to see some of the historical sites around Philly at least.

Kinda related, but a cool story anyway.

A bunch of Eighth graders from Berwick PA got taken to Hooters during a Field trip to Baltimore.

http://weirdnews.aol.com/2011/06/01/fie ... 69663.html

Personally I favor the Fry place next to it, but it was Very educational I'm sure!

****, just walk down a street and find a place. That is what we did last year after going to the aquarium. It was a block or two past the Convention center on Pratt. It was pretty good and prices were good considering the location.

Hey, those kids weren't complaining!

And yeah, tons of good eats down that way. HarborPlace is the Food Court/MiniMall place that has tons of places. It's not as good as it used to be (our favorite Italian place left), but still tons of choices, especially for Seafood...

And my Elite ripping days are taking a vacation this year...Ick.

I liked Elite die cuts, but that was about it. I never thought it was worth the price, especially when autos fell every 2-3 boxes.

Not a very good value rip, but I LOVED the Die cuts and had seem some HUGE dual autos pulled so I usually did a coupla boxes. I was originally excited 'cuz they upped the case hits, guarentees per box, etc. for this year and added booklets but the cards themselves don't appeal at all to me. :(

still not a fan of booklets here. I think it is more of trying to store them, but just haven't seen one that I had to have.

Oh, I wouldn't go out of my way to go after a booklet, but I liked the fact that they added them as a case hit to help add to the value of each case with no added cost.

Just don't like the look of alot of the extra sets...

I was really hoping to watch the Clemson game tonight, but they are not streaming it online. I may listen to the radio broadcast online :o

hey does anyone here have any Kris Durham Upper Deck cards? As far as I know he only has three:

UD RC
UD 1991 RC
UD RC Auto

Also, thus far, I think those are the only cards of any Seahawks draft pick. Prestige didn't acknowledge anyone on the hawks.
