very o/t butt (sic) .....

[Leon]

Ok, Since I went over 5000 posts I feel I get one really, really off topic. Just first blush will make hundreds of members smile. That can't be a bad thing?

The seller is from Ohio...probably a reproduction crapper.

Why does Ohio always have to be the butt of everyone's jokes?

It doesn't have much street appeal but the downstairs is actually quite large with lots of storage!

That Lebron card doesn't look right to me. Left border looks a bit wavy, plus the age and wear on the door doesn't match the card. Looks like a modern reproduction magazine cut-out. I know I'm in the minority, but I've always been a big fan of limiting the number of posts to 5,000 .

Congrats on the milestone Leon!

Lovely Day...

Darn it Barry, you beat me to the punch... my thought, exactly...

[barrysloate]

It was too easy Fred.

That was supposed to be a regular smiley face, I grabbed the wrong one.

Congrats, Leon.... I suspect that the only one with more than 5000 posts is that Archive guy....

[barrysloate]

There was a short period of time when I passed Leon; now I am nearly 1000 behind. But I'm #2, and trying harder.

[k-dog]

Sooo....how many people do you have watching your auction Leon??

"double seater crapper" ???

What did they do, take craps together back then?

[scooter729]

Didn't I read in the rules somewhere that when you get to 5,000 posts, you have to give a vintage card to all other members?

My grandparents had about a 60 foot concrete walkway from their back door to a little outhouse just like that..........I can still smell it to this day when I think about it......fun place in temperatures like we got today.....

If necessary yes. And with a big family it was probably necessary fairly often.
Busy farms or mines could also have a need for something a bit larger.
There were even multi story ones.

My house has one built into one of the horse stalls in the carriage house. Empties into the same "basement" that the floor chute from the horsestalls goes into. I got a great deal of fun out of explaining the whole thing to the home inspector- He asked about the chute.
What's that odd structure in the foundation?"
Well, we're right under the horse stalls.
So?
Well, when you have horses in a city.....
Ok, I've seen enough we can inspect somewhere else.

I swear he actually looked like this

I'm not sure cards/basketball was the right Ebay category. But it does seem to be a sports collectible of some kind.

How long before Upper deck cuts it up to put on cards? (Wall, door numbered to 1000, seat numbered to 10. Autographed 1/1 - and some sears catalog buybacks)

The LeBron-a-john! Love it! A collectible that truly captures his personna.

Best to all,
