It might top 1k in change :shock: . And J do we have a deal and do I ship already or not yet?

Just ship it. It'll take J-Rod 2-3 days to straighten out his apt front office about it, so the faster the better. :lol:

Oh yeah... Hi all!

HI!

Hell yeah, what's goin on Nate.

Going to try and tune in for tonight's high end break. It should ensure that something gets pulled that I need.

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

How far from Philly do you live?

About an hour, depending on traffic.

Oh ok. Yeah, it doesn't say how much he is. You could call to confirm if you need his auto.

Nope, already have him. Thanks for letting me know though bud. I'm really looking to get Mike Richards to complete my 08-09 Program Project and Bobby Clarke for my jersey.

Have anything of your program project scanned?

Uploading scans now.

Man, wish I hadn't bought RDR yesterday.

It's a good game, but I just found out that we have a new rental place in town. Compared to what we had, it is LOADED! Plus, we received a coupon in the mail for one free rental and 30 days of half-price rentals.

They even had Nintendo DS games for rent, which is a first in my area.

Richards is the only guy that's still with the team that I didn't get. Missed out on Hatcher, Kukkonen, Vaananen, Jones and Lemelin. But have everyone else.

So I sent emails to Ultra Pro and Pro-Mold about a case for my Philadelphia Chicle mini. I heard back quite quickly from Pro-Mold, who said that they didn't have anything like that and had no plans to make it. Though I haven't heard from Ultra Pro yet, I'd imagine that they are the same. I absolutely didn't want to put it into one of those huge acrylic 4-screw things; they look ugly and they're so huge that they distract you from the card itself.

Anyway, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pack of Panini basketball cards and an X-Acto knife. The pack had one of those blank white decoys in there that everybody knows and loves. After tracing the outline of the mini and a lot of cutting and hollowing out some of the guts of the decoy, it's become a frame that fits perfectly into a 75pt magnetic holder.

I was going to marker the decoy black, but once I got to this point I decided that I like how it looks right now.

Nice modification. That's a great idea!

 

[sffanmike25]

Pucker - Love the idea. If I was in the Bay Area more often than I currently am, I'd try to hit local signings and get one of my programs signed by as many current Sharks as I could.

 

[ffgameman]

Necessity is the mother of invention!

 

[sffanmike25]

Real strong work on that, Groat.

 

[deceptikon1978]

Great idea Groat, very nice!!!

 

[Groat]

Pucker - That program is sweet! Did you get most of those signatures at a practice?

ffgameman - I subscribed to Gamefly a month or so ago and it's actually pretty nice. Works pretty much like Netflix and they've got a good selection of games. I think that the 2 games at a time subscription is $25 a month, more or less changes price accordingly.

No, they were all after games, Flyers Wives Carnival and public signings. That's why the Alberts is on there twice. Didn't realize it was him until after he started signing it. :lol:

 

[G $MONEY$]

Nice Flyers autos pucker!!!

Philly must be going nuts these days with the Flyers doing so well.


You should post those on the Hockey boards too, theres a couple Flyers fans over there, including the biggest Jeff Carter collector on the planet.

Won a Dwyer auto from this guy and never got it. Filed a claim the other day, looked at his feedback today :benson:

He's been getting slammed with negs, stuff like this makes me wonder if the dude is still alive...

Doesn't sound too bad.

What does that equate to yearly....around the price of five or six full-priced games?
