Got a funny TTM in yesterday.

Wrote a letter to Mike Sadek for my 1978 Topps collection. Told him in the letter that I was a Dodger fan in the 70's, while my mom was a Giants fan.

He signed and personalized my card and then added a funny note to my original letter. Old joke, but great to see that the Dodger-Giant rivalry lives on after all these years!



Good Morning Everyone!!

What else does Michael Jackson and the Dodgers have in common? They are both #1 !

I officially dislike Mike Saydick!

Cool cool! Cards will go out the day after I'm back :)

Speaking of cards, pop century comes out on Monday. HATE stickers, but may rip one pack.

Good Morning Gents! All settled in at home after a long catch up day yesterday. Back to work this morning but I only have a three day work week before having another week off to attend my first National :) I also have a few cards to show off in a bit ;)

Adam - Just caught up on all my email. Thanks for the kudos in the FCB notification :)

Hello all! July 23rd, we welcomed two new little people into our family. Everyone is doing great and healthy! It was a long pregnancy and really pushed B to the limit.

See a photo of them with their adoring big sister below along with details of our nearly 15lbs of arrivals!

Vera Vasiliki: (on right in photo)

Height/weight-- 19½”, 7lbs, 8oz

Meaning truth or faith, she’s named for B’s great grandma Vera Gilmore Gibson, the only other twin in the family; and G’s Yia-yia, Vasiliki Calfas; her Greek name day is October 4th (Bridget’s birthday!)

Gabriel Aristotle:

Height/weight-- 20½”, 6lbs, 13oz

Meaning “God is my strength” and Aristotle is of course G’s “real” name; there are many Orthodox name days including the Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel on July 13th (George’s birthday).

That is a pretty funny note he sent back!

[MENTION=2418]George_Calfas[/MENTION] - CONGRATS and such a great photo! Jen and I really like the names, especially the thought and structure behind them. I hope Bridget is recovering well and big C looks like a proud older sister :)
