Happy Friday all! Tomorrow this time I should be flying south over this great country so that tomorrow night I can be sitting by the pool in Florida with a cold Corona in hand. Life is good! I'll miss you all next week - will check in sporadically.

Congrats on the Holmes George. That a PC card for you or part of a set now?

 

[muskiesfan]

Dave (w)- Awesome pick up, brother! You didn't tell me about that one. Glad you got it!

George- Sweet Holmes and Musials! Incredible. I love signed vintage.

Brad- Have a safe trip! Hope you have a great time.

Good Morning Gents!!! Busy week at work and home. About 1/8 packed haha and have WAY more to do. Already selected paint colors and ideas for the kitchen, upstairs living room, downstairs living room and the master bedroom. Monday we are going to my uncles appliance place to get the hook up on a new refrigerator, washer and dryer. MIL drives into town at the end of next week to stay a week and help us clean, move and paint so that will be nice

George - AWESOME A&G red auto...but you drowned it out with those Musials

Dave - GREAT Maddux man!!! How close are you to completing the checklist for some of those sets?

Most of you have seen this, but might as well re post it since its still a top favorite of mine at the moment:

2009 Ballpark Collection Yogi Berra/Derek Jeter pinstripe/jersey dual auto 4/10:

 

[muskiesfan]

Alex (PNW)- I don't care how many times you show that card off, it's still a beauty! Congrats again!

George- That is great! Quite the accomplishment. You have an absolutely phenomenal collection, brother.

 

[metallicalex777]

Brad - Enjoy Florida man!!! Especially for us haha! You might get stalked by Dave(69) so watch your back

Joe - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Crystal tomorrow!!! Enjoy the day as well as the accomplishment

[wideright]

George- Those Musials are amazing

Thanks Alex!! I'm loving the Jeter/Berra is fantastic!!

 

[muskiesfan]

Alex (PNW)- Thanks brother! It's definitely an accomplishment for Crystal. How she's made it this long dealing with me is nothing short of a miracle. :lol:

George- That Gibson is nice!

 

[metallicalex777]

George - That is one heavy Gibson Compare a thick point patch card in a same size one touch as the Gibby to compare the difference. You should get one of the 2010 Marquee ones as well. Nice looking cards and has a finer tip on the silver ink. EDIT: Just noticed that is a silver border Going for the rainbow?

Joe - Hahaha I know what you mean. I feel the same with Jen, she has put up with me for 8 years and has stayed married to me for just about 3.

Dave - Thanks dude! Is there a Yogi/Jeter dual in Ultimate? Those on card sigs are still the greatest of all!

 

[muskiesfan]

Alex (PNW)- We are both very lucky men. We've been together almost 8 years as well. It just makes me wonder why I didn't marry her sooner. :lol:

 

[George_Calfas]

Alex, no I am happy with the Silver #/10.

 

[lonesomeagle1]

Today is looking brighter!! Just accepted an offer on my Townhouse in Orlando :grin:

It's been empty since November. Did some repairs and listed it a month ago.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[metallicalex777]

Alex, no I am happy with the Silver #/10.

Nice! My next goal is to get a silver and a black for Felix to complete the set. Luckily they didn't do a 1/1...but they probably would have gone purple metal or something lame haha! If it is in that one touch, make sure to put 2 folded in half penny sleeves in there to keep it from moving around much so id doesn't scrape the metal over time I did that to mine on the back.

If it aint broke dont fix it!

We were together 9 years before we got married last year. It really didn't matter, it only made it official (the house purchase made it official 3 years ago)
