Bo knows baseball cards...
Spent my Saturday doing something I didn't expect to be doing...looking up card prices. This dude that works with my father in law is moving to Florida, and he doesn't want to take ANYTHING with him. So, for fifty bucks, I landed some booty:
1. About 20 Atari games (including BOXING, WARLORD, PAC MAN, MS PAC MAN, SPACE INVADERS, PITFALL, BOWLING and more).
2. Several bar mirrors and plaques (Heineken, Guiness, Straub, Budweiser, Michelob)
3. A handful of Nintendo games
4. Five boxes of new golf balls
5. My pick of the litter in football, baseball and basketball cards
Now, for those of you who don't know, Erin is a MAD card collector...baseball only. She has just about every card you could imagine from 1978-1998. She's a bit over the top. So there wasn't much in the piles we didn't have already. However, I found:
1. Phil Simms rookie
2. Ronnie Lott rookie
3. Earl Campbell rookie
4. Five or six Terry Bradshaw 70s cards
5. Anthony Munoz rookie (that guy kicked ass)
Really, we found about 70 or 80 cards that are worth having. Several basketball cards as well. The only Basketball cards that are worth ANYTHING are rookie cards. The others are just considered commons, even if they're Garnetts or what not.
I woke up at 9 am this morning for no reason and wrote a fairly cool string/piano/timpani/guitar arrangement. Only 16 measures, but a complex 16 measures. I'm getting the hang of this Fantom thing now. If I can figure out how to duplicate and lay shit out, I'll be set. Protools would make it easier, but I don't have a CPU to keep up with that shit yet. The piece is temporarily called "Wind Requiem"...but only temporarily. Maybe I'll call it "Rape My Teeth" instead. Who knows?
My wife and I are heading to Seneca to throw money at the Indians. Hopefully, they'll throw money back.
Oh, Poker last night. I finished third for the fourth time in a row. But there were no suck outs...I got beat with a straight fair and squizare. However, I DID make my money back after the game. We went five bucks for Jacks Or Better, Trips to Win. I started out with three Queens...discarded two cards. Boland picked up a flush...I picked up a FOURTH muthafuggin QUEEN! Four of a KIND! Shit. So much for my ass saying I'm not lucky in cards. So, I broke even. Hell, I ended up ahead. Yessica bought our Taco Bell.
