Good morning guys!

I did't post the mailday I had yesterday, the break was terrible. It's pretty sad when a $45 box yields more value than a $120 box.

That's saying a chrome refractor rookie card (Bryce Harper) is the best hit compared to an autograph of a fat Haitian center that plays for the Milwaukee Bucks now, and a Canadian rookie (Leo Rautins) that's playing either overseas or in the NBDL.

Lession learned, DON'T BUY PANINI OR LEAF PRODUCTS. And this really sucks, because Topps will be the only one standing and has an exclusive contract with MLB.

Morning.

Got the paper to a whopping 5.5 pages. Requirement is 10. I met all the criteria AND put a ton of filler into it, and that's the best I could do. Thankfully this is just a rough draft so my professor and I will discuss what I can add to it to make it better.


Anyway, I'm headed to class... It should be a short day today, then I get to come home early... I should have a mid-'90s chrome racing pack break to share.

Minus the occasional retail pack, I stay away from all current products, ESPECIALLY ones that are prospect or rookie filled. I want veterans, not rookies.

Sorry it didn't go that well Ralph.

Sorry it didn't go that well Ralph.

Dan, I wasn't expecting to pull a Kobe or Durant auto, but Fat Sammy Dalembert shouldn't be included in this high end product that had a MAPP price of over $160. I know that pulling a rc auto is a lottery, but couple Fat Sammy with Leo Rautins is just terrible. I did pull a decent patch card of Pau Gasol /25 though. Lession learned here.

All to scratch an itch to bust a box. Haven't busted anything since last February.

This is the way a basketball product should be presented. On card auto, clean design. Just check Chris' hot list, maybe I should list this one in my PC.

Good morning guys. Not much going on here today. I was sleeping really well when my alarm went off so it was a hard to get up this morning

Paul- Glad everything is starting to look up for you and your family

Keith did you contact the guy who had that Clemens I PM'ed you about or post in that thread that you wanted it?

I opened 4 packs of 1994 Maxx Chrome Racing. For $.50 a pack, it was a fun break.

I also found one of these at the same store for $75. I won't be buying it, but I thought it was cool.

Good morning all!
Ahem.....Florida is in the south, too.
1 1/2 hours SOUTH of Enterprise, Alabama.

Florida doesn't have a statue of the boll weevil like Enterprise does.

I live North.

Not as North as some MTers, but more north than most.

I love the North. The goal is to live here for ever. I don't even have any interest of visiting most other southern states except for the fact that I'd like to visit all 50 at some point in my life.
