It would be quicker for me to scan one by one than use Beckett.

I'll try the group scan thing though. I can fit 9 at a time. Hopefully it works good.

[quote="G $MONEY$":1wvk6nt1]Hey guys, im doing so-so. Came down with some flu virus the last couple days and im kinda sick. Don't actually feel too bad, but got one nasty cough and my ears are popping when i swallow. Other than that, just chillin on the couch, watching the Minnesota/Calgary Hockey game and sorting through some cards. Im making up some Sports Cards "surprise bags" sort of things for some co-workers kids.

That's a pretty cool thing with the surprise bags.[/quote:1wvk6nt1]


Yeah thanks. I thought it was a pretty good way to allow someone else to enjoy a bunch of my commons, that otherwise would just go into a monster box and probably never see the light of day again :lol:

Actually one of the ladies i work with (Shes pretty new to Canada, from Jamaica), approached me one day last week asking me if i could help her and her son (hes 10) write a fan letter to Jarome Iginla. Im well known at work as a big sports fan and into the cards and memorabilia, so thats why she asked me im thinking. Her son and her were just gonna write a fan letter, when i started explaining what a TTM was to her. They sounded really excited when i told them (she brought her boy by work that day), so that night i prepared the TTM envelopes for them and brought a couple Iginla cards as well, since they did not have any. Anyways, so when i was showing her the cards at work, other people gathered around to see what we were doing and we started talking about cards and a couple of the other ladies mentioned that their kids enjoyed cards, so that is when i brought up the idea of myself bringing them little "hobby starter kits" to work. I got 5 kids (between 6-13) im bringing stuff for. So im bringing them each about 300-350 cards in a card box. Half of them are Hockey, the other half Football, so they have some variety. Im also giving them a pack of sleeves, 3-4 hardcovers each and 4 binder 9 pocket pages each so they can look at and take care of their favorites. Ya never know, something like this could get them interested in the hobby for the rest of their lives. Also, a couple of the ladies aren't really well off and can't buy their kids much extra stuff, so im sure they will be thrilled with these.

Ahh yes, Percy Harvin. Dallas could have kept their draft picks and got Harvin to fill our WR slot (they were a few slots ahead of Minnesota), but instead go gave our draft day away for Roy Williams. Good times.

Very nice! It's always great when you can pass the hobby on to the next generation, especially if they're in a situation where they might not be able to enjoy it. Plus what kid doesn't love cards? Awesome thing you're doing.

Yeah they are losing 4-3 in the 3rd, Flames are battling Detroit for the last playoff spot. It isn't looking good for the Flames. Especially after Detroit just had this great Western roadtrip :x

Alright man. If you change your mind, let me know. I only put it at 45 because I saw one in the ended listings that didn't sell for 50.
