Barry...thats pretty frickin' awesome!!! I am sooo wishing to slowly part together my own suit for the similar reasons. That would be sweet to see some pics of your old muscle cars By the way...I got off my lazy but and did some picture taking of the unscannable items. THANKS A TON again for the mini helmet auto for the Mariners PC ( ...I can't remember the name of the coach though ). Here is the pic:

I also took some pics of 2 other items for my Ken Griffey Jr. PC. Keep in mind I have had these 2 items since I was about 12 or so...they are just about 18 years old now

Thats my neck of the woods :lol: Thats pretty awesome about the car stuff...did you ever get a chance to make it into any magazines???

 

[ChasHawk]

For some reason, I've always been too shy/lazy to try TTMs. A friend has had ENOURMOUS success with it.

To those who bowl, do you have your own equipment? It has made a huge difference for me.

Btw - Just mentioning again...

Andre Dawson has cards in 2009 Sterling!!!

::facepalm:: :lol:

[pghbuccos]

Charlie I have had a lot of success with TTM auto's. it's very easy, fun and cheap. as for the bowling equipment yes I have my own ball, shoes and wrist guard. I was in a league for 3 years until it broke up and my team won our championship the last 2 years.
