I just wonder if the reason they call ****** fruits is because they are full of "seed"

That was offensive














































but not to me I found it hilarious

 

[Pinbreaker]

Just saw these on NFL.com's website.. Thanks to Panini...

Now if these were inserted in packs, these would go for big $$

 

[alexs64]

Why do all the television stations say it is the second round when they show the score graphic? Is the buy in really considered a round?

 

[thefatguy]

I think they're counting that First Four BS as round 1 now. I saw that a couple weeks ago and was really confused. So Round 2 and 3 this weekend. ::facepalm::

It was my grandpa who's card he was sad not to have gotten...

Oh, is that your grandpa in your avatar?

Yep...

 

[thefatguy]

I do not watch soccer. MLS has started (I guess) and there's a new team in Montreal. Both Toronto and Montreal are sponsored by the Bank of Montreal.
The jersey's look exactly the same.

Toronto

Montreal

Soccer is so stupid. I dont get it. I hate corporate logos.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I can't stand the advertising in soccer.

Been watching some of the NCAA tourney stuff on CBS...for the first time (other than Michigan & Michigan State games, that is) and keep thinking "it's not baseball..."

THANKS RICHARD!

 

[thefatguy]

Frosty, never watched before?

No, it's not baseball, but its a good hold over until first pitch in a couple weeks.

Only in parts a few times in the past but I couldn't really get into games if I don't know who's who... Everyone's alien to me. I need familiarity to stay in the game for long.

the first weekend is the best. Just cheer for the underdog. A lot of the games are close.

Fun with Photoshop...

Took scan off eBay listing for unopened buyback pack:

Opened it in photoshop, adjusted levels severely.

Can tell from visual clues card is:

Did this for several auctions on eBay - but didn't find anybody good. Could help find a Zimmer or Nicholson. Am I pack searching? One thing is sure, I won't be buying any buyback lots - too easily searched!

 

[ChasHawk]

Can pretty much guarantee the large lots on ebay are already searched.

Cool trick with ps though.

I am awaiting a reply on #1...

 

[FrostyCollects]

Charlie, who's your grandpa? I must know...

That's awesome, Charlie!

Did you get to hang out with his former teammates or something like that? I'm envious....I wish someone in the family has played in pro sports and tell me stories from his past.

[tramers]

be very quiet there's lurkers out there

 

[ChasHawk]

Must've missed something... :lol:

Frosty - I am 33 now, and he played in the 60's. I attended an old timers game when I was about 4, but don't remember it at all.
I remember him doing cards shows when I was 7 or 8, but have only vague memories of it.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I still have to send TTM to Mr. Nicholson
