I realize I'm just an angry person most of the time anyway, but the Topps monopoly/Strasburg price gouging
is really starting to sour me on this hobby/business.

I agree 150%, Charlie. Nearly $40 for a blaster ? I'll buy the '06 Artifacts Box from AtlantaSportsCards for $35 instead.

Oh, and good morning all and to all the other 6,482 Dave's

A day off and watching some Mystery Science Theater 3000 on veetle.com followed by the Ubaldo vs. Liriano matchup at Noon at Target Field (on tv, not going to the game )

It is a shame that the pricing is so out of control. Makes me wonder if I am even going to be able to afford a box of Allen and Ginter when it comes out.

You will, I will hold one for you

Sounds good! Our lcs only had an initial shipment of Bowman, but can't restock due to the cost. I don't buy Bowman myself, but every time I am in the shop, someone asks if there is going to be more Bowman available.

Crazy when one player is driving a product to such extremes!

Stream it, Stevie. Stream it.

 

[metallicalex777]

Dave(wide) - A Disney cruise sounds awesome!!!

Steve - Break it out man...I vote for the old school way, but ustream would be fun too

Charlie - Yeah...those prices really due suck with the whole "cashburg" thing going on. Of course this year there is no Donruss/Upper Deck/Fleer/etc to keep us busy away from it all I will be PISSED if the high end stuff will include Stras as well in the event that it drives up the already rediculous prices there :evil:

Just read through the "Setting Up at the National" thread. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: OMG.

Just read through the "Setting Up at the National" thread. ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: OMG.

I read part of it, but had to stop, as I could feel myself getting more and more stupid as I read.

I see your ::facepalm:: ::facepalm:: and raise you :benson: :benson:

And here I clicked on the thread just out of curiosity of who would be at the national, not that I'm going or will have anything at all to do with it. I broke my own rule of sneaking a peak at the main board. I just need to stick to the calm, serene sanctuary of the MT. Ohmmmmmmmmmm..... Ohmmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[JackLondon]

Also, that thread makes me want to go in there with my red pen and correct every single spelling and grammar error.

If I were paid piecework for that, I could retire today.

Morning ladies.. I'm working from home as my wife has been dealing with some breathing issues. It relaxes her to know that I am at home, so she sleeps better..

Hope everyone has a great day..
