I am hoping to go the Pirates Giants game to see Maholm vs Lincecum tonight but it is supposed to rain. hopefully it holds off until after the game.
7 days from today I start my 12 day vacation. I need to start getting everything together and get my car in road trip condition.
Beefy that card looks amazing.
Where ya headed bud?

was there was meeting KentuckyDerby and his wife.
Aside from that, it was one of the more depressing experiences
I've had in quite a while. I took $100 with me, and couldn't find
anything aside from these, which cost me $20
No cards of interest for Dawson or Williams, and really very little
local stuff to speak of period. Mostly vintage, some overpriced
high-end stuff. Lots of overpriced memorabilia, some cool photos
and paintings, and a bunch of really sad looking people.
Also busted 2 different dealers who had RIDICULOUSLY fake 2005
Absolute Jumbo jerseys that they decided to turn into Laundry Tags :lol:
Naturally both of them completely denied it when asked. According to
one, "he saw it pulled from a pack". The other guy said he bought his
on eBay, but after I asked to see it out of the case to check the #'ing,
He said, "Oh wait, no, I bought that one direct from Absolute". ::facepalm:: :lol:
I think the biggest wow moment I had was a dealer who had an entire
case of Samardzija 07 BC. 2 Red Ref, the Super, and the Sterling Red 1/1.
And a memorabilia dealer who had about 35 Ted Williams OMLB's, 20 Mantles,
and 5 or 6 Joe D balls and bats.
I haven't been to a show in about 1 1/2 years, and yet I saw some
of the same dealers from the last show I went to, and they still had
most of the same cards in their cases that they had then.
It really made me think about how much this hobby has moved on and
evolved, and how so many of those people are stuck in 1995.
George, are you the one who paid $58 for the Rich Hill red ink?George_Calfas said:

Here's my post from that thread, which sums up my experience pretty well.

And dont even think about bidding against him or he will break you down either physically or with his rhetoric...some even refer to him as "an SUV of a man"*
:lol:
