No one cares...

Just stumbled on this thread. The MJ rookie card stings. Had a chance to buy it or a Joe Montana RC... who knew. Still have the Montana RC. Any of y'all buy or sell? I have some RCs like Jerry Rice, Earl Campbell... 84 Topps with Marino, Dickerson, Elway RCs, 89 Score with Barry Sanders, Aikman RCs First year of Hoops smattering of other brands and odd collections First Beckett for Basketball with MJ on the cover. I always hear about E-bay as the way to go as far as selling. Seems like shops only care about flavor of the month type stuff. BTW...used to have an decent collection of baseball cards but my ex tossed them in the bottom of a storage room which was eventually flooded. Brett and Yount RCs that I bought as a kid were in there.

Again...

The Carrie Underwood version...man. My wife's maternal grandmother was a devout Southern Baptist, every time the door is open she was in church, lady. This was her favorite hymn. In the winter of 94, I moved my family of four to the Colorado Apartments on Lake Austin Blvd from Waco, Texas. This was so I could get an undergrad degree at Texas. My wife was the main bread winner making around 20K a year at the time. Her grandmother, Nanny H., was pretty much our benefactor. She sent my daughters money and when things were underwater, she covered us. When we moved from the Colorado to Brackenridge Apts (from a 2 to 3 bedroom) she bought us a washer and dryer and continued to cover us when necessary. A few years later, I graduated and within two weeks of me landing a permanent job, she passed away. Every time we look back on that experience, we always say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' My daughters honored her by playing this hymn at their weddings. I still tear up every time I hear this song or anytime I play it and say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' As you were...

Texas, given its size and land area, has over two times the amount of Bigfoot sightings, btw. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/default.asp

Go back to Jersey, sonny. This is the City of the Angels and you haven't got any wings.

The Vanished = the plague.

Remember when he broke the record. What a moment. My FIL followed his Minor(Jacksonville, Fla) and Major League field religiously. He corresponded with Aaron and he(FIL) had a signed framed letter hanging in the pool room for decades.

Landing K9i would be awesome.

I feel like we are Andy Dufresne and we have spent 11 years crawling threw the sewage drains and we can see light... at least until football season starts.

Aggy reminds me of when Daingerfield won state in 83. Daingerfield beat Robinson 22-0 in Area. It was the closest game that the Tigers played on their way to the state championship. At the State Championship game, there were a couple of Robinson kids walking around with a banner in the stands basically proclaiming Robinson should be number 2 in the state because they only lost by 22.

Alluded to earlier in the thread... the world needs to take a time out and watch this. Lots of 'feel good' moments and themes throughout. Thanks for all the recs!

Lasorda was one of my favorite baseball personalities. He was great for the Dodgers and MLB in general. RIP.

Up yours, Jobu.

Seger is still a staple for me. Great date music back in the day.

My grandpa taught me how to hit, catch and throw. I went and saw this about a year after he passed. It took me a few minutes to collect myself before I could leave the theater. Leave not a kind word unspoken or a good intention undone.

Good for Gideon.

I believe Sam Elliott is sitting next to Rooster Cogburn (aka, The Dude). Several cool character mashups in this picture. I have counted 3 at least. Assuming I am right about the one I just mentioned. Balcony - Yippee Ki Yay (Mother Fucker!), Gunsmoke, and 3:10 to Yuma getting represented for sure.

Home, Home on the Range... Where the deer and the ant... more deer plaaaay
