Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Still a crazy price for a common or below average player and not a short printed card. Would rather have a nice Greenberg from same set for 1/2 that $$ <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Thanks Jamie. I don't have multi-player cards in my database becuase I want cards that feature just that player. Guess this means this will be one of the last cards I buy as I refuse to pay an insane price for a marginal player from a set that isn't that rare.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class.

Posted By: <b>Joe P.</b><p>It was a beautful very early Sunday afternoon either in 1944 or 1945, me and a couple of other guys had just left church and we decided to take a walk to Central Park just a couple of blocks away.<br />Here we were sitting on a park bench just inside the 99th St, East side entrance to Central Park, talking baseball.<br />Although the first game that I saw was at the Polo Grounds, I was the only Yank fan in the lot.<br />Yup, they were all Giant fans.<br />As we sat there peaceably and amicably debating baseball in a blue face christian heated way ..... we were at the same time observing the happenings going on the great meadow in front of us.<br />For those of you that may be familiar with that area of Central Park in NYC:<br />The eastside entrance area at 99th St has a huge oval like meadow, encircled by a walkway and park benches, immediately to your right as you enter, there's a small playground for kids.<br />The meadow was large enough for people to fly kites, run around, play baseball or football games on it, and we did.<br /><br />While we were in the midst of settling all the world crisis, and who were the best of both eight team leagues, one of the debaters chimed in with -- "Wait a minute - Who's that guy hitting fungo's to that kid?"<br /><br />The Giant Fans:<br /> <br />#1. It can't be.<br /><br />#2. Are you sure?<br /><br />#3. They're not playing today<br /><br />Yankees Fan:<br /><br />Who's Phil Weintraub? ..... only kidding ... I knew. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Even this Yank fan knew who Phil Weintraub was.<br />We just sat there and gave them the privacy of a man hitting fungos to his son.<br /><br />
