Meh. I'm not a big college sports guy. And since the Bears suck, I guess I'm waiting for Spring Training to start. :lol:

I can't wait for the season to start. I'm going to go to a few games while I'm in Florida. I have't been to a game in years.

Good morning to you, sir! Must be nice to see snow out the window. Are you expecting any additional accumulation today?

The winning team? Not really a big fan any team in particular. I'm a college sports fan.

nothing wrong with just looking to see a good game...i usually try to set some sort of pool up with friends so that i have teams to root for...but if i dont i root for the upset

Ok well, while Mr Califis continues to be cryptic :lol: I will show off yesterdays mail.
I believe this is the cheapest mailday in my time collecting thusfar. 1st 2 cards were .25 cents each, and the last one was $1.50. :D

My second 1st Day Production parallel

1996 Pinnacle Starburst Artist Proof - which finishes that mini-rainbow

2005ChampionsImpressionsGreen22-25.jpg

Impressions Green /25 - Its got a coupla dings in the foil, so hopefully I can find another copy at some point

Not bad for $2 bucks though, eh? :lol:

The FDI's and AP's are nice! Great cards. I found a few on COMC.com on the cheap.
Thanks Bruce. I won each of those for the opening bid on eBay. I don't understand why people bid up
g/u and autos like crazy, but then don't even bother to bid at all on incredible looking cards. I just need
the Afficionados now to complete the 96 Pinnacle run.

morning gentleman.

we got about 4 inches of snow overnight and this morning. not too bad but I had to help the landscapers salt the campus so I was a little cold. just had a hot chocolate and a banana nut muffin so I am fine now :D .

Charlie nice cards and even better price. I need a Green Impressions for my Bay collection.

My week has just been badass. I reunited with a former highschool crush (hour+ deep conversation), and we are making dinner/movie plans, and the computer I bought for my mother arrived today. All-in-all, the best days of 2009 might be the last.

Morning guys! No snow here, just cold. They are saying slight chance of snow for Christmas but I have my doubts. Heading up to Wisconsin tomorrow to see my bro again. Gotta map out a route that won't get me stuck in snow storm. :?

Chas- nice pickups for $2! Love the cheap nice ones you can find. I bought a bunch of Wakes last night off Beckett marketplace. That place has been very helpful in finding a bunch of cards for the collection. Still more to go.

Barry- enjoy your white Christmas :D Take the Gkids out and build a snowman with them.

Not a college football fan either. I haven't watched bowl games in years.

Sabres won last night. They play Dave's Penguins tonight! Feel like driving to Pittsburgh to have a few beers and watching the game. ;)

Ok boys have a great day. I'll be on and off cleaning the house and getting ready to travel tomorrow. Maybe a couple on-the-road-again contests tomorrow? :D

Dave(Mets)- I've wondered how buying a vehicle on ebay works. Was that a dealer or private? And who picked it up or delivered it?

it's going to be a great game tonight Dave. you should definitely take a detour on your way to see your brother and we can watch it. I would be happy to share my pizza and beer.

have a safe trip to Wisconsin and good luck avoiding the snow. is your brother doing any better?

Anybody know what it means when a Beckett listing has an asterisk after the card name?

2005 Donruss Champions Impressions Combos #342B A.Dawson Jsy-Pants/ 50 *
2005 Donruss Champions Impressions Material #342 Andre Dawson Bat/ 25 *

Never see/heard of these 2 cards, and they both have the *



Bruce - I have a couple of those for no-name players.
