Collecting Sports History
I had everything typed up for this as well ... of course Rob had to fudge everything up and delete It ... so I'll make this one short as well.
* I now own 5 cards that are worth money. I had sold off everything except my Grant Hill card (avatar pic) ... Went for two jerseys, and only ended up with one. I was left with some cash ... got lucky and brought these Into my very small but special collection.
This very very special / beautiful card I got, only took a solid 4 months of bugging the hell out of Graeme (HairyAngryFella) and a suitcase full of crisp / fresh one dollar bills that I had to send on a boat, a bus, then plane, then another boat towards New Zealand. (still havn't figured out where New Zealand Is ... but you could say the same thing about Oklahoma ! )
... This card had surfaced something like 5 months ago ... I was talking to the guy who listed It, but I took too long to pull the trigger ... Graeme snuck In there and grabbed It as quickly as he could ... I was totally crushed and tried getting this card away from him for the next 4+ months ... as soon as I FINALLY gave up all hope and simply moved on with my collection, Graeme said hey lets make a deal ... because he knew I was going for 2 jerseys, but only was able to buy one, so It left me with some extra cash that was burning a hole In my pocket. How could I pass on this card of the one and only Michael Jeffrey Jordan !? I absolutely love tags and for me, this card Is 100% basketball / sports history ... It's just a beautiful card that I'm In love with ... Also now the most expensive card I have ever bought. ... Thanks alot Graeme ! ... This card Is not going anywhere for a long time to come. ... And hey, I had to get the legendary Space Jam DVD to sit beside It !
I hate sticker auto's with all my heart ... but oh well. ... I love this card, and I'll be shoutin that Steve Nash Is the 2nd best Point Guard In basketball history till the day I die ! No one can change my mind on this ... I watch every Phoenix Suns game that I possibly can. I personally have NEVER seen a better team mate than Steve. It's like 800 high fives a game with him. The worst day or game of your life ? Nash Is there giving you high fives the entire time. NEVER lets his team feel down. CONSTANTLY running the floor, never stopping; going anywhere he wants to. PERSONALLY the best shooter I have ever seen too. Ray Allen Is great ... but Steve Is constantly being amazing and can create any shot In the world for himself at any time. Could score every single time If he wanted, but knows that his job Is to make his TEAM better. Also, I love that Steve & Grant have such a high amount of respect given towards them. Their just good guys. Not many people In sports are shown with such respect.
Got this five dollar Dennis Rodman card because I've always loved this picture of him ... that's just beautiful ! On the back It says ... "Member of five NBA Championship teams ... Holds NBA record with seven rebound crowns In a row ... Two - time NBA Defensive Player of the year ... Ranks 11th all - time In RPG ... Grabbed 2.3 rebounds for every shot he attempted ... Totaled 34 REB In a 1991-92 game ... Played five straight seasons without missing a game."
The beautiful Michelle Beadle ! ON CARD auto people ! ON CARD ! ... Beautiful woman though ! I love watching Sports Nation and Pardon The Interuption. Put a beautiful girl In fronta me and everything they say Is suddenly soooo Interesting.
This next one Is something I've wanted for awhile ... Rob LOVES Al Pacino ... I think his work Is beautiful ... I've seen The Godfather #1 like 500 times. Donnie Brasco with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp Is my personal favorite movie (named my Australian Shepherd Donnie after the movie) ... I think my personality Is alot like Pacino's In It as "Lefty". Pacino (and Depp) are very unique people ... I really like that.
Two last things for this historic mailday that I figure will bring down the Internet ... my Grant Hill game program ... and my full size Grant Hill poster ! ... goes to 6 foot 8 ... huge poster ... no idea what I'll do with It, but just had to buy It !
Thank you all for reading everything, If you took the time to do so ... and thank you for viewing this ... I appreciate It ... I'm taking a big step back for awhile (even though we all say this). I gotta be smart and save some money for a while. Not going to buy anything unless I just gotta have It ... This site has been great to me (getting used to this updated website), and the people have been great too ... We've had some good times. Best of luck to everyone. - Rob
