#######FRIDAY MORNING THREAD ############# 11/7

[metallicalex777]

I'm here until Tuesday afternoon. Around the tacoma area mostly. (With my buddies family) Going to the seahawks game sunday. Where are you at?

Nice! I'm in Federal Way which is a neighbor-ing city to Tacoma. Work in SoDo less than a mile away from the stadiums I don't have any free time this weekend as we are visiting a ton of family with Milo, but do you think you will be around or have the chance to be in Seattle On Monday or Tuesday? I work 10am-7pm and can usually step away close to any time for lunch or something

Is that you in the chariot on the lower left of the postcard? Did my PM get to you last night? I know you had some crazy issues hacking wise going on, I hope that is easing away.

That is Stadium High School in Tacoma.. Since I grew up in Tacoma, our high school played there several times as well as having some great track meets..

Had a fun afternoon, went to "Northwest Trek" near Tacoma. Pretty cool way to spend an afternoon with a large family

Northwest Trek is awesome, even for a local! Never thought of it as "near Tacoma" before (an hour?), but I get what you're saying! Weather may hold out for a couple days for you!

Interesting find in that box of baseball items I bought.

A period-correct Little League ball that is labeled "Bobby Orr's Second Homerun. First Ball Pitched. 1957"

Orr played baseball as a boy, and this would put him around 9 years old. Odds? Not very good, but I sent some e-mails out.

I enjoyed both very much. Number 2 was a bit of a letdown from the previews but I still very much enjoyed it.

@metallicalex not sure what the overall plan is. What time do you typically take lunch? I may be able to plan something.

Yeah, 2 was a bit of a letdown, but still solid. GEEK SPOILER WARNING: Loved the new "tech" showing up early.

GEEK gonna get Flamed forever for this WARNING: I'm guessing Abram's Star Wars will be better than ANY of the first 6.

And since I know you got hooked on Chistopher Nolan, you gonna see "Interstellar" soon? Little guy and Mrs. going tomorrow nite, IMAX'ing it...

 

[michaelstepper]

I won't go as far as saying episode 7 will blow any of the others away, BUT it has the potential to be one of the best.

Yes I will be seeing interstellar

PSA 8+ set of 1986-87 Fleer basketball up and running now...

(Can't get Link to work)

On the verge of greatness with the side piece. She's coming this weekend and will probably stay a couple nights. We have a ton in common and really enjoy each others company. I feel she is actually more excited than I am. Is it bad that I'm 9 years older?

 

[Hendersonfan]

Been on quite a few dates and she stayed over all last weekend.

All of these cards are in really nice condition.
I pulled 8 cards from this lot out due to noticeable creases which, unfortunately, included a Bill Bradley RC.
With those 8 removed, total BV is $3005.00. That's from a 2011-2012 Beckett, though.
According to that, I paid 7.3% of BV for these cards!
