========== The Morning Thread =========

Not to pile on, :lol: , but I could easily see Lebron and Bosh or Lebron and Joe Johnson ending up here.

It's not about the $$ for Lebron, it's about which team gives him the best chance to win multiple championships.

[quote="Pine Tar":1a7nx3u1]Morning gang....... Wow sounds like there is a sickness running around the MT group. I have been sick
since Friday and Josh and gang had something recently too. Dan and his crew to I think, and now markakis8 little on is
sick. There seems to be some kind of flu bug still around. My daughter has tonsillitis and she is on antibiotics.

And anyone that thinks Lebron James will come to Chicago and play for the Bulls is the same person thinking the Cubs
and Carlos Zambrano with live in harmony. Lebron is never nor was he ever thinking of coming to the no-look Bulls.

This is very UNTRUE.

LeBron has looked hard and long at the Bulls and I would not be surprised to see him (and Bosh) end up in the Windy City.

Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and the gang have the most collective talent for him to join (unless Mark Cuban can do a sign-and-trade for him).

And, if it does happen, they would become the best team in the league and quite possibly the most dominant team since the 80's Celtics.[/quote:1a7nx3u1]

Could not disagree more, only a couple of teams can offer Lebron what the Bulls can....plus this team/management has 6 rings.[/quote:1a7nx3u1]

Good Morning.

Not to pile on but when you are tossing slow toss underhand pitches why not, :lol: , but I could easily see Lebron and Bosh or Lebron and Joe Johnson ending up here.

Bingo.

Had to fix that for you since it was the Lakers who won the most in the 80's...

Lebron is going to Miami with Dwayne Wade

Chris Bosh has been talked about heavily as a sign and trade deal no matter where he goes. There has been alot of chatter about the Lakers in that kind of deal but honestly I hope not since they are talking about Bynum.

This is bad, Merritt last year started out at $40-60. Either this guy was too early or people do not like the design....I am the last. I plan to pick up very few A&G "Framed" Autos this year.

I KNOW I am going to be in the minority, but I kinda like the design.

Morning all,

Happy 1 year anniversary, Tom! (Chris and I have our 6 month wedding anniversary tomorrow).

Interesting day today. My best pal since I was 6 years old is in town for a visit. We will go eat and see a movie. Probably see something that the wives don't want to see.

I am leaning toward Jonah Hex myself. Megan Fox can't act her way out of a soap bubble, but darn, she is fun to look at!

Also, I have a ton of old Jonah Hex comic books. I remember that when I first discovered "The Hex" in high school, he was not considered cool anymore, so I got a truckload of old issues for $5!

Hope everyone has a good day!

 

[JackLondon]

Also, here are my three latest Angel TTM autos. Really like the fancy penmanship of the Bowsfield!

 

[A_Pharis]

Wow, that last one looks like a sig you'd find on an old play ball card. Nice TTMs, Andrew!

Thanks, Adam. Ted is known as a great signer TTM and really takes pride in his signature.

Personally, the red is too much and the interior board gets in the way of the card. I understand the idea but it fails. They should just snug fit/cut the mini card to the frame.

 

[George_Calfas]

Hey George

Hey Andrew, how goes it?

 

[ChasHawk]

Yeah George, Idk what they were thinking with the interior border, but I do like the red.

I think that auction was just too early, as people are not expecting Ginter for another day or two.

Very nice TTMs Andrew!!

 

[George_Calfas]

I was wondering this too....but, I search A&G everyday as do many others. Plus many people know the Asian market list on ebay early and word was out that cases arrived prior to the weekend for some people. How the later happened I do not know, WTF!

 

[JackLondon]

Hey George

Hey Andrew, how goes it?

Going okay here. Glad to be back, or do you miss the field yet? Looking forward to seeing your findings soon.

Thanks, Chas. TTM can be an addicting (and cheap) hobby. Still waiting on about ten more requests I sent out in the last two weeks.

LOVE the TTMs Andrew. The cards you choose are really top notch.
