Possibly my favorite design to date as far as topps game used.

I agree. It's about time they did something right. :lol:

Seriously, they did do a great job with the All-Star game used in Update.

We haven't really been baseball fans until 2001. I was 8 then and we went to our first ever Twins game. Ever since then we've both been hooked. I haven't been collecting really until 2010. I would buy blaster after blaster in 2005 and 2006. I stopped until I was looking around online and asked for a box of 09 Ginter for Christmas. I opened it and got like 5 or 6 hits in it. I still remember the box actually. I got a Sigmund Freud printing plate (psychologist), Johnny Cueto auto, Evan Longoria relic, CC Sabathia relic, Lashawn Merritt relic (sprinter), and a Steve Weibe Bazooka back (Donkey Kong Champion). There might have been another hit in there but I can't remember for sure. It was summer of 2010 when I started trading on forums though

Very cool. I started collecting in 1982. Well, collecting may not be the best word because I wasn't really sure what was going on. :lol: I was 4 and my grandfather would buy me packs of Topps every Sunday. We would go through them together and put all of the Reds in a binder. It only took a couple of years for me to really get into it. My grandfather will check out my newer cards, but he doesn't really care if it's an auto or patch or anything. He does love to look at my vintage though.

I don't have much as far as vintage is concerned. I do like it, but it just costs me too much and then when I'm trying to work on my player PCs it makes it even harder lol. I have a 1960 Harmon Killebrew and love it. I might try and move it to upgrade though

I don't have as much vintage as I would like, but I do have some. I have the same problem. If I start spending money in other places, I feel like I am slipping on my Adam Dunn PC. :lol:

Me too! Thats why I'm starting to hate myself for working on the Topps Chrome project of mine

Assholic mailman...

He quietly dropped in my mail including a slip for my latest GQ package (from Taiwan) w/o a door knock or ring (which would cause the strobe light to go off). Now I'll have to wait until tomorrow for pickup. Such a hassle... Maybe he's trying to finish his route in time to catch the Reds/Giants game... *sighs*

Joe - that is a FANTASTIC patch, and I think a good deal too.

Did you try for this one Joe?

My day is ruined.

Charlie- Thanks brother! I already have one of those quads, so I didn't even really look at that one. I'm not sure about it either. I don't think much, if any, Dunn stuff gets faked, but I'm not completely sure on that card.

Choking, lol

Well I'm gonna start a test Its 40 questions but I bet we didn't cover 39 of those in class. Hopefully they are easy to find in the book

 

[muskiesfan]

Charlie- That one makes me sick. Every time I see it re-listed, I groan. The seller may not have faked it, but somewhere along the line it was.

I have a question for you other fantasy football guys. I run a league where we start 2 QBs. My starters are Rodgers and Dalton. I have Ponder and Locker on my bench. I received an offer today of CJ Spiller and Jermaine Gresham for Christian Ponder. I need a backup TE and another RB never hurts. Just not sure if I want to pull the trigger or not. Spiller splits carries with Fred Jackson (who I have) and the Titans say Locker will be back on Oct 21. His bye week would allow me to have him fill in when the other 2 go on bye, so I would still have 2 QBs starting each week. I'm just not sure if that's enough to pry Ponder away from me.

In my league Ponder avg's 15 ppg, and Locker only avg's 12.

Spiller is avg'ing 13.70, and Gresham is only avg'ing 6 ppg

Hello everyone

Joe, I would hold the quarterback's as a high premium. There really isn't anyone available on the wavier, as you know. I have Luck, Flacco, and one of your favorites, Palmer.

my first impression is exactly that. no way both tags and a number make a quad piece /124​

 

[muskiesfan]

In my league Ponder avg's 15 ppg, and Locker only avg's 12.

Spiller is avg'ing 13.70, and Gresham is only avg'ing 6 ppg

QBs get 6 for TDs in my league. plus fractional scoring.

Ponder - 17.4
Locker - 13.9

Spiller - 13.68
Gresham - 5.96

I need a backup TE and definitely could use another RB. Spiller splits carried with Jackson, so I am going to ask for Michael Turner instead.
