Picture and brief summary...

Love those icons....No i was fine the next day because i ate alot before i drank. Live and learn i guess!!!!

I like to cook certain things and my specialty is beef wellington, i made mini beef wellingtons and the came out soooo good. I ate about a dozen so my belly was nice and full to soak up the Opa-Opa i drank. ( i think i had 5-6, don't really remember )

Hello,
My name is Sean and I'm from Minneapolis, MN. I started collecting cards about 3 years ago now and have gone through a few changes; I started with T206's, finished the Minneapolis team set (8 cards) and then the minor league set and sold all but the Minneapolis team to start in a new direction (Minnesota/Minneapolis baseball stuff). Now I'm looking to start the Colgans Minneapolis set, I have the red border Ferris and that's it.

I've seen Jay in person and he is much bigger than his photo shows .



This is me in Mexico City waiting to catch a bus...

Mark, chocolate Milk works well to keep from getting sick and hangovers after you drink (in case you don't have time to eat before the beverages flow).

Sean, I guess since Jay has beefed up, he will be the "New Dr. Koos" of the Full Count Board. I remember the old Dr. Koos from the original Full Count Board was HUGE! I believe he said he could bench press over 500 lbs.!

When I moved from CA to MN, I had the full on biker look going. My was down to bottom of my shoulder blades and had a goatee that was about 6-8 inches long. I'd occasionally have it in a double braid.

Did you look like this Jay?

pretty close but my goatee braids were much fuller.

My name is Eric. I live in Central Jersey right now, but am from Wisconsin. I started collecting vintage cards in January 2007, so this is my one year anniversery. I began by collecting T206's and within about 7 months I accumilated about 70 of them. I then sold off everything to begin type collecting. That's where I am now. Since I'm so late and I never post pics on any forum, I'll post a few here.

Taken by me today. That's what I feel like when I shell out a couple grand for cards.


Me and my Best Friend on my wedding day:


Believe it or not, this is my 30th birthday. The cake looked better on us then it tasted.

Eric, I see from your pics I am not the only one here with tattoos at least. Tats are about as addictive as Vintage Cards IMHO. It is about time for me to get another - just have to make up my mind what to get this time. I am thinking of something on one of my forearms. If I keep spending all this money on the rare backs, I might have to end up getting Red Hindu and Uzit tattoos!

BTW - I don't know if any of your family still lives around Big Stone Gap. If they do and you come in to visit, you will have to let me know.

I have a sister that lives in Lynchburg, VA, but that's about as close to BSG as I would get, except for maybe a high school reunion. My father still works a few shifts a month in Pennington Gap.

Nope your definitely not I have a ton. I started a sleeve over Thanksgiving in Wisconsin, where I sat for 9 straight hours. Then I went back to Wisconsin after Christmas for another 8 hour session. I think I'm about 40% done with my left arm. Kind of funny that I have this considering what I do for a living. They kind of look down upon that kind of stuff. But that's what makes me different. And man, if I would have used this money for cards instead of painting my body.

Here's a few more pics of my work.

Thanks for sharing the pics Eric - those are some really neat tattoos!

Thank you. I like them too....otherwise I'd be in trouble.

First visit. Thanks Lee for the reminder. Lots of familiar faces.

This is the most recent photo I have of myself. It was taken for my passport.

Jacklitsch - great to see you here. That looks like the pic of you from Old Cardboard? I would check my issues, but gave those away during an Aimoo Board Contest.

Jay - that looks like a mugshot without the numbers!

Wait until I grow my hair out, let the goatee get about 6 inches longer and start getting inked up, then I'll really look like a criminal

Jay

Morning Scott:

I've never appeared in Old Cardboard (I'm kind of shy ).

Good to be here and hope to contribute.

Steve

I must have seen your pic on Net 54 then, as I did remember it.

I never sent my pic to Old Cardboard either when I was subscribing - they asked me to, but I didn't feel a need to for some reason.

Again, great to see you here posting!

Here I am on top of Mt. Elbert (highest point in CO - strange that most people have never heard of it.) I'm a type collector that collects baseball card from any year. The focus is on pre-43 cards, but I've been buying a lot more pre-80 cards lately, since I'm running out of older cards that I can afford. I also like to travel and hike - would like to get to every baseball stadium and each state's high point.

Hi everyone,

First post on this board, just recently found it. Lots of familar
names/faces. I don't have a pic at the moment to post. Look
forward to talking with you all.
