********** The Morning Thread **********

[George_Calfas]

Morning all, it's the first saturday I am working in months. Not too thrilled with it, but ehh.

Welcome to the club Rob


George - You're about 30 min. from Bradley, right? I might
need you to "take care" of an eBay seller for me :twisted:

Whats up? we can get the Greek Cousins (Dave this is not Vinnie [ref Friday thread], we wear sliver [not gold] and are Dino's, Niko's, and George's)

Idk, some ******* in Bradley, who calls himself the duke of cards. I'm still
waiting on a card I paid for on 8/19. This seems to be happening more lately :evil:

Tell him I am going to swing by for a Local Pick-up!

 

[trevordchi]

Good morning fellas. I have to work today, but at least it's only for about 4+ hours.

At least we are closed on Monday so I still get 2 full days off. Gonna go see the Astros toinght. Hopefully they can put another whoopin on the Phills.

 

[scotty21690]

Mornin' everyone!

Just had a nice tall cup o' joe so now I am quite awake.

That's what's further pissing me off. No response to emails :evil:
My guess is, he didn't like the ending price of the auction.

Also got a card yesterday in a shredded PWE inside one of those
USPS "oops" envelopes. Card was cheap, and fine. It just seems
that eBay has become a big P.I.T.A. lately, and idk if it's lazy sellers
or cutbacks at the P.O.

Just remembered I'm working at the shop this afternoon. ::facepalm::

Should be slow because of the holiday weekend.

Morning Dave, drink some coffee before you answer this, but is it to late to send you a different pic for the MT set?

Art

Hi Art. No sir, it's not too late! Send it on.

To the rest of you guys- SEPTEMBER 9TH - last day to get me your pic for your MT card or your out of this year's set! Sorry to make it sound harsh but we gotta put a deadline on it or it will never get done. And yes, I have my coffee now I'm not just being grumpy :lol:

...droppin' the hammer....gotta do what ya gotta do! Find my revised pic I sent??

I got it, my friend!! Can we get Byrd out of the lineup now?!? :lol: I am gonna mow them down today.

Dave, Bos has no patience with SPs lately, I am kinda liking this Smoltz guy

Yeah. I think we've been slow lately. Last Sunday was good. I normally don't work Saturday so we'll see. We sell a ton of football and the new products are coming in now so it should get better. Might toss up a facebook special or two when I get in. I'll see what the boss says.

That move has the potential of biting us in the butt. ::facepalm:: (fixed)

 

[gvsu96]

I'm glad I decided to sell off a few of my Eric Munson cards. I didn't fell like working on it anymore and with Julie's work kind of up in the air I thought I would take a shot at dumping a few after seeing a Tek auction of his close.

Check out the prices on my auctions I listed :shock:

Smoltz or Penny? ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

 

[darrend505]

You have got to love farmers markets, ended up spending more than I thought, but its APPLE SEASON! My favorie fruit season and now I can eat apples again. I only eat apples from early fall until early winter. Otherwise don't tell me its an apple. I will not believe you!

Smoltz. Penny will fade out or pull a groin again before the season's over.

 

[George_Calfas]

Dont you just hate watching the last few hours of an auction which you think could be a steal, it goes from $25-$90 in a matter of moments?
I will post it since I dont think any of our MTers would buy it. Great card from 2001, PR of "no-more than 25" (it was a redemption), btw crappy listing title.

morning guys.

the Red Sox and Pirates both lost last night 12-2 and 14-7 respectively. I hope Wakefield is able to go at least 6 today to help out the bullpen a little.

working today and tomorrow as usual and then I am off until Thursday .

Art glad you got the ball. can't wait to see all the cards you get in the trade when it's complete.

Dave make sure you stretch your back out a lot before the game this afternoon.

 

[wideright]

Morning Dave! I will definitely stretch out. I'm sure you are looking forward to a nice long holiday. That's great!

 

[Anthony K.]

Hey guys.

Day two of my four day weekend has been pretty decent. The wife is out with a friend doing some winter clothes shopping for my son, so my son and I are hanging out, just being guys.

Looking forward to watching some college football in a few hours, but don't know if I will stay up late enough to watch the UT game.

How has everyone's Saturday been so far?

 

[wideright]

Celebrating our 11th anniversary today. Got lots to do, lots to do. So hope you all have a great day! Talk with you tomorrow.

 

[pghbuccos]

Dave Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs. seems like a weird day to be rejoining the rotation but oh well.

 

[ChasHawk]

:grouphug: Happy Anniversary Dave!! :grouphug:

Have a great weekend
