=========== The Morning Thread ==========

ha.. started a trade thread over at beckett just to see if there were any star/hof sweetspots possibly available for some high end griffey's or felix. couldn't get the image links to copy right on my phone so I used the direct link instead. 88 views and not one comment. fixed it when I got home with image links and a few more cards and BOOM 20 more views and half a dozen pm's and comments each.. as traders have we really become that lazy?
haven't started one here yet.. see how the beckett one go's

Unfortunately, we have. I am guilty of it as well.

Me too. But to be fair I only collect Astros autographs and people rarely bother to mention what team's uniform the player is wearing. So I have to go research the cards to see if that player was in an Astros uniform for that card. Pictures are way easier. I just have to look.

My big problem is I hate to look through buckets... Some I have looked through are so dis-organized that it makes my head spin.

True dat but you might find hidden gems in some buckets...you never know.

BTW, you mentioned you played MW3. Do you play video games a lot? Portables?

i was guilty of the messed up bucket. erased my whole for trade album and organized the rest.. at least I think I did.
have a griffey/bagwell/thomas ensemble auto I have for trade and someone has pretty much said he'll go and buy whatever card i need in trade for it. don't know if it'll work out but he sounds excited.

What I hate is that when people have a "For Trade/For Sale" bucket and it's crammed full of cards with the word "Gone" as the title, or even worse, not having "Gone" as the title and when you ask for it, they say it sold a few months back.

Just delete the stupid scan or move it to a "gone" folder.

George.... wanna trade?
taylor: you would think it's a pretty simple task. i tried to move all my single scans/pics to a traded but if I had multiple cards in a pic that's where i lost track. looking through my traded folder makes me sad

Big Mac ignored my video game question...tsk tsk.

Does anyone here happen to play DS/3DS? Given my limited vision, that's all I do for gaming. No one's too old for it!

Why oh why do they keep putting Bagwell on Griffey or Thomas cards... Sheesh.

Sorry about that. I missed it. I've been in and out of FCB all day.

I do play a ton of MW3. I don't do much mobile gaming anymore. If I go on a trip somewhere, I take my iPod and play games on it but that's the extent of it.

It was nice out today...

Had to be in the 40's. No coat required. Lots of snow is gone too.

while I don't understand the pairing either it makes a lot more sense than most dual/triple/quad auto's today.
In my opinion all 3 are certain HOF's but that's just my opinion

Only busting your baseballs.

Mobile gaming...that term is usually reserved for tablets/iPods/etc. I don't bother with that type of no-physical-buttons gaming (Angry Birds, etc) but did cave in for Pac-Man for iPad b/c I got this little arcade cabinet (as a novelty) on clearance:
