Adam- Thanks for the shout out to Topps on Twitter yesterday. Hopefully I win the BP card.

Reds can clinch the NL Central today!

And they will. since they need to win or then at the least the Cubs could beat the cards, and then the Reds could still clinch without even winning.

I'm supposed to give tours, but haven't seen or heard of anyone in 30 minutes... Time to bail??

Ze is French

Zee is German

Zed is Canadian for 'Z'

I was wondering about that.

As a truck enthusiast (also working on my doctorate in truckology), I hasve watched a few vids where Canadians call "Z71" "Z(ed)71" and I couldn't for the life of me understand what they are trying to say.

Represent Canada

Word.

 

[poppudaimadochi]

Ze is French

Zee is German

Zed is Canadian for 'Z'

The actual spelling I should have used is "Ze Mawrning Sred", to sound more authentic

They used to and I don't think it was cool.

This hobby needs young people to be interested and active in it. Unfortunately, they get belittled and made fun of when they come on here.

~Heaven forbid that a teenager with limited hobby experience and knowledge asks a question that the majority of the people that are age 30+ know. How dare that young man ask such a simpleton question.~

Make no mistake, regardless of age, there are times that such responses are warranted. It tends to be the standard here right off the bat though. :-?

Yeah. That's why I don't troll certain members or anything like that. I don't think that's what this hobby is about. I think the common excuse around here is "They should have done their research," but everyone has to start somewhere and maybe FCB is their starting point?

What's really sad is that it happens at shows and card shops. I have spun it around once or twice when it happened to me, so it's all good.

Joe
I thought you paid me for that card. :lol: And if not maybe a beer after the National next year will do.

I took HS French for 2 semesters during my Freshman/Sophmore years and I can only tell you how to say "bacon."

Well, I do know the phrase "My name is..." but that the extent of it.

 

[21ccl]

Im just got word il have to go to race track.. man im really want to go to wal mart or k-mart and but that all I can do.

 

[MojoDan]

Hows everyone doing? About to watch some golf/football.

 

[thefatguy]

Taylor, it's a british thing.

I say "Zee" because 1, my dads side is American and said 'Zee' and 2, 'Zed' doesn't rhyme with any other letter in the alphabet. You don't go through the entire alphabet with B, C, D, E, G, P, V and then have 'Zed' on the end. Fuking stupid

 

[MojoDan]

Nice pickups Joe. I liked the first card the best

 

[FrostyCollects]

G'moorrrrnnnn gents & gals!

 

[MojoDan]
