Bruce - What kind of hits are you going for in the Pinnacle??

Alex, I would like a hot box with nothing but platinum golds. I bought it to fulfill the urge to bust some wax. I typically stay way from boxes and just buy singles but I've been wanting to open some 90's stuff.

Just as long as it's fun bud :mrgreen: I would love to see something pulled that you have actually been searching for. George beat the impossible odds with the last gold he pulled (Abru??).

Charlie, that's pretty cool, but it would make a huge sig. Can you make it smaller? I know, pushy little cuss aren't I. :lol:

Gooooooooooood Morning, MT!!!!

Thanks for the Elvis vids, Jeff!! Made my day. Forgot what today was. Reminds me I have to pick up an Elvis guitar tab book.

Alex- whatup my man?! Signed up for a year subscription to that guitar site. Making strides every day.

Art- wicked nice Bays!!!! :shock: That is an exceptional set right there. Nice job. Hope you find that last one.

Dave- Sabres go for 6 tonight. Hopefully they do against Toronto but I have a feeling. GL to the Pens to turn it around.

Dan- I honestly have not seen real steel dump trucks in the time I've had kids. If they exist brand new, my guess is they are an off-brand. How did you di in the break last night?

George- GL with the speeches bud! STart 'em off with a little humor, puts the crowd in a good frame of mind. Maybe a few Tiger jokes?? :lol: jk

Josh- I'd be in for another break. What about the Flair? Think it would fill now?

Dave - Glad to hear Can't wait to see your first youtube vid either :lol:

Not for a long-ass time :lol: Being only a few months into it, I don't think there would be much entertainment value unless you enjoy watching someone do scales and chord practice.

Here you go you big pain in the ass!! :lol:

I resized them to the same pixel width as your current sig.

Sounds easy enough...do you use a "free" app or did you buy one?? We just got an extra Photoshop disc in the package we just bought for Jen's mom so I have that available but haven't used it yet. Do you also crop your own pictures to overlay on the cards too?? Thanks man!!!

Alex - I use a combination of photoshop 6.0, paint.net, and The Logo Creator v5.0 which I think cost me about $20.

 

[metallicalex777]

Thanks Charlie...can't wait to work on something then. I think I have the file converter down...thanks to company software access I'll just email myself whatever I make, open it at work and turn it to a .jpg or whatnot

Well, there are a few Griffey versions that I stil need.

 

[ChasHawk]

There you go Alex.


So far I've been tracking all the Dawson 09 Tribute's listed. I think the prices are gonna drop quickly
on these just because of the sheer volume of cards already listed. At $200+ per box, I didn't think this
much would be busted already. tntnorthnj opened at least 18 cases to sell in his eBay store!

This is the only one that's ended so far, and it's the black parallel /50 (the base are /99)

For being the 1st one to sell, and a parallel version, it only got $44 and change. So I'm
guessing in the next few weeks they will drop across the board. The only really tough ones
are going to be the dual jumbo jersey w/Molitor which is only /25, and the quad auto/quad jersey
with Aramis Ramirez, Soriano, and Derrek Lee which is limited to only /5.

I'm sure those look much better in person but that scan makes it look so blah. Hopefully you see the price come down so you can snag a few.

Truth be told, I'm kinda on the fence on these Dave. The original Tribute cards look
abso-flippin-lutely amazing in hand, and these appear to be printed on the same stock.

But as is my usual stand, sticker autos on a $50/pack product are inexcusable imho.
I definately won't be buying any of these until the prices come down quite a ways.

Yeah that design is just much better all around imo. The dark background on this years does nothing for it.

 

[muskiesfan]

Good morning guys. I hope everyone has a great day.

I'm so looking forward to tomorrow. The Bengals hosting a playoff game is always nice. I'm hoping Jets fans are in for a surprise tomorrow.

 

[ChasHawk]

Dave - In Topps defense(if thats possible :lol: ) that 1st one I posted is a black parallel.
The stock for the base looks to be the same. There are base, blue, black, gold, and red 1/1s
