  1. I will Archie 132. CAL back in action!!!
  2. Ripkin's father yanked Cal Jr. out of a game in the middle innings one time - he did not want to ruin the 2,350-whatever playing streak but he had to let the kid know who the Manager was. All my relatives and friends were hating on the old man except me. I love Cal Jr but the old man WAS the boss - what he says has to go. I had a Don Buford bat - broken off throw away - it was the heaviest allowed by MLB back oil the day. it WAS heavy! My uncle had a Frank Howard full bat - also the heaviest allowed by MLB. Howard used to wave that bat like it was a badminton racket! Yes I love the Orioles but have extreme respect for the pinstripes. When the Orioles can't win I find myself rooting for the Yanks. I li ve in S. CA but only went to a handful of Dodger and Angels games. Just not the same. They are okay, I guess, but the Orioles are for me. CAL who dreamed of being a Oriole starting Pitcher as a small boy.
  3. Ripkin. CAL who is a HUGE Baltimore Oriole fan since boyhood and until the end of time....
  4. Topic content, yes. Creator of this post, no. CAL still honest after all these years....
  5. Bad idea. Once they are mustered out - no exceptions. CAL the gatekeeper
  6. My bad for equating a "show" for that Estate Sale. I did not want the world to know about that Estate Sale when I first listed the item which was shortly after we returned on our trip. CAL who still travels for funny books
  7. I had Albert Pujols and Tom Brady rookie cards I made some decent coin off of - BVS far outpaced PSA. But that was easily 2000's... Times do change things....
  8. How is the Comic market where you are at up North???
  9. I think you are right. I had over 5,105 RAW IMSMs in 2003 and would have saved the UK Pence( d) copies. Only three double-covers of IMSM and I have ALL THREE just can't bring myself to sell them. Cal still the KING of IMSM
  10. May I ask how that happened??? CAL who still finds the occasional box or two....
  11. Forensic evidence: NO pic of IMSM thus this cannot be CAL. CAL a fan of True Crime....
  12. I know you know your stuff as I recall you from the early 2000's here. I WAS in the sports cards from 2001 - 2005 and lost small six figures. I made far more off of BVS Beckett 9, 9.5 than I ever did PSA 10's no matter the card/series. The Customers 80% or more said Beckett was superior. Your take? CAL who used to sell a lot....
  13. YES Cool it is! Do you know of any more HIDDEN GEMS such as ASM 65???
