coffee

SLACKER!!! I'm on my 4th cup already. :lol:

 

[tramers]

i'll finish a pot this morning .

 

[tramers]

still can't grip a baseball with hand and will have a large scar on finger

morning Art, Barry and those not yet here.

just got to work and I am hardly working already

Art very nice patches on that Bay. how many cards are in the Sweet Spot set?

Barry who in their right mind would buy Pirates cards? other than you of course and I guess me but it's not me.

Good morning, Art, Barry & Dave!
Art - Nice Bay. Premier is one of the things I think UD did good with. I'm also hoping Bay helps the Mets with their offensive production this year.
Barry - Sorry to hear your finger is still giving you trouble. At least uou can still hold a coffee cup.
Dave - My philosophy on work is I get paid the same no matter what I do. Busy or not!

 

[pghbuccos]

morning fellow Dave. that is a great philosophy and I agree with it.

 

[tramers]

consider i just buy players i know from here , so the STARS aren't on my list . Only eight players on 40 man at this time last year there was 20 that played here . i'm not a big fan of Cutch , pass on Duke due to another collector , Bixler, capps , morgan got traded and now we're Ranger team .

 

[Resident Bay Fan]

Barry. hope the finger gets better soon. You may need it for other things. :lol:

Morning Dave and thank you. The Sweet Spot set has a total of 30 players. I have 16 in hand, 9 incoming, and 5 left to pick up. Should have it done soon, and I haven't paid more than $1.99 for any of them, including the Pujols, which is the best card(highest price) in the set.

Morning Dave B.

EDIT: had to change the amount of incoming.

 

[pghbuccos]

Art 30 cards is a nice size not too small but not too big and paying no more than a $1.99 a card is fantastic. good luck with the final few cards.

Barry for someone who isn't a fan of McCutchen you sure do have a lot of auto's of his. why are you not a fan?

 

[69MetsFan]

Art - I have two Sweet Spot Swatches that you don't have.

If you want them, PM me your address and I'll have them out to you on Monday.

I could have had them all by now, but I run short of that green stuff everone seems to run out of. :lol:

Only need Clay Buchholz, Carlos Delgado, Freddy Sanchez, Howie Kendrick, and Steve Carlton. If the Patches weren't so limited, I'd try and put the set together as well.

Dave B., I have the Lee incoming, but I'd take that dual off your hands if you want.

 

[tramers]

index finger on right hand [ lefty for writing only] will have scar almost complete lenth . not that i do alot of yard work but can't crank mower or chain saw and need someone to open pool .
the cutch baseballs are ones he hit when here . Nyjer was friendly , talked and signed for more , cutch was in a hurry to get to his Escalade - great player . some of the players share rides etc. can't remember ANYBODY getting in with cutch .
I have 350 signed baseballs can't count the amount that i've given away at games [ not signed] . i try to give one to those with special needs and at least one a game to a very young child .

 

[pghbuccos]

that's very nice of you to give the baseballs away Barry.

 

[Resident Bay Fan]

Ok, gotta make a quick run to the bank. Be back in a few.

 

[tramers]

btw ; my son can not ask for anything since he works there but will tell me names of player till i know them better . most players in this league will sign with ease . only two i didn't get Jim Abbott rehabbed NO SIGNER and Roberto Kelly coach NO SIGNER not even for kids . aveage 20 autos a game best was 54 .I'm watching the crowd more for famous dads - mike greenwell was alot of fun to talk to [ nice wife] , former Steeler on super bowl team , minnie monosa [sp] the line [?} . most the kids are 18 /21 and have nice G/F's :shock: :shock: which i joke with :lol: . . maybe this year i'll take some pic's of the G'f s :lol: :lol: :lol:
