:shock: Holy cow that's beautiful.

Ok, now you've got me curious. I'm 32 and well remember the days when an Eric Davis '85 Topps was still very hot (and Canseco '86 Donruss booked for $115). How old are you fellow cardboard enthusiasts?

Morning all, Russ sorry to hear the news.

I will be turning 45 this summer, God willing.

 

[Russ S.]

I'm 33.
Started collecting in 1987 with the wonderfully woody '87 topps.
Have collected Ripken since then.

At the height of the home run Chase I sold my '87 stashes.
88 Bonds and 71 Macs . I did good.

Russ - nicely done.

Jack - you've already beaten your namesake by 4 years!

Crud, got an email reminder this morning about the UCI conference on Saturday. I am supposed to be a presenter and have NOTHING prepared/planned yet. :? :? :?

Very true!

Love the '87 Topps...it was the last complete set Dad and I put together out of packs. Good times.

Woke up to find out that I won these this morning:

I needed the Carlson but the other two will be nice to have. I won them for $1 + shipping.

Gonna be 37 in July and I remember Canseco RR's selling for $125-150 at card shows back in the late 80's.

Closer to 57 than 56 yrs.

Semi-retired, debating on going back to work, but on MY terms. Worked Electrical construction for 30+ years. Thank god I'm in good health, and my knees and back are in great shape.

How many good zaps did you get? Too many to remember??

Morning all!

Can we all throw in a few bucks and buy this for the MT Rec Room? I so wanna hit a homerun onto the Wrigley rooftop. Plus, it spits out baseball cards. This is pure awesomeness!

Auction Link

It does have a 1991 Fleer Mark Grace Card taped to the inside of the display. I may have to make it a PC item. But I'll have to compete against the Sandberg collectors since there is a Leather & Lumber card on the other side.

 

[Pine Tar]

Oh my I played something like that when I was a kid :lol:

 

[FrostyCollects]

Ralph, you have my complete respect, sir.

Electrical engineering and polymer chemistry were my top two choices at RIT (Rochester, NY). I went with poly chem but not for long when I realized that career wouldn't last long due to my vision issues. Changed majors a few years later.

Sending off my 8x10 to a Radke signing...

Someone on Neshek's was nice enough to get it signed for me. Radke is is my favorite Twins player.
