Tell us of your interests other than BB cards & Net54 ?
The sun is out here in Pennsylvania....after a week of steady rain. So, do I hit some baseballs with my Grandson....or, play tennis with him ?
Ronnie is a Southpaw, and has an edge on me. There should be a "law" banning left-handed tennis players In any event, we will take the top off the T-bird and ride in style. So, when you are not glued to your computer (viewing Net54)....or enjoying your vintage sportscards....tell or show us of your other interests ? TED Z |

When not collecting cards, I prefer to drop the "d" and play with cars...

I enjoy motoring. Great fun in 2007 driving from Chicago to Cleveland for the National.
Looking forward to doing more when the Missus retires in a couple of years. |

Wow...................mine are not near as exciting as some. I like coaching my son's Under 11 soccer team and playing my drums (alone or jamming with my "band"). My "band", a group of older married guys who get together when our wives let us. LOL! You know weekend musicians............you know the type.

Thanks. It's certainly my favorite. I absolutely love to restore these cars. Here are a few more shots of the Jag (and the new Jag). Also, just finished the top on the 1800 Roadster and snapped these pics a few weeks back).

my other hobbies/interests
Let's see there is...
metal detecting coin collecting... especially ancient Roman coins. I like getting the uncleaned ones and cleaning them myself through electrolysis and other means. online computer games (MMORPGs) - Ultima Online, Vanguard, EVE, etc. traveling Unfortunately, I only have time and money to do one hobby/recreation at a time now. So, it's baseball cards (and even with just that one I'm pretty limited), so everything else has pretty much been put on the back burner for awhile. With a 3rd child nearly here, I don't foresee expanding my free time for these hobbies for awhile.

I'm a big fan of video games, especially vintage Nintendo games. I probably still play stuff like Punch Out and Super Mario Bros as much as I did when I was a kid!

Lol!
Thats funny, my kids dragged out the old SEGA Genesis game system and proceeded to pummle me silly with a chair while playing WWF (wrestling you know). It has been a long time since we played that, how do they still remember the moves? The graphics are horrible, but its fun nevertheless.

I think we program those moves into our brains as kids and never forget them. I'm 28 and I still remember all the moves and codes like I did when I was 5-6 years old.

What I Do
I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old that dominate most of my time. My boy just wants to throw the ball and my girl wants to talk about how much boys stink. What a great life! Other than that, I am thoroughly enjoying the Rockets' playoff run. I bought season tickets this year for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with the value.

I have several interests....hmmm...in no particular order:
My Daschund, Tic Tac (don't laugh at his name - one of my ex-gf's named him - I had no choice in the matter) The Bimmer (there's a German theme going on here I noticed) My Bike and of course my GF (sorry, I took the picture down hehehehe - I think she'd kill me if I put that up. Interestingly enough, she helps me get deals on cards....not quite sure how she does it ) Last edited by marvjung; 05-06-2009 at 02:36 PM. |

One hobby that I would like to get into is stocks. If there is anyone that would like to give me a crash course on how to start online let me know. Shoot me an e-mail I would like to talk with someone that give me the ins and outs of doing this by myself.
Thanks. |

Amazing. You happened to buy C at exactly its 52 week (and probably all time) low, to the penny. With that kind of start, what will you do for an encore?

My next purchase will be Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac (all three companies are too large to fail - it's a risk, but definitely a calculated risk that I know was going to pay off). I went to the NYSE website and looked at ALL 100+ pages of stock listings and went after the banking businesses (what goes up, must go down, and vice versa). I then looked at the 52 week high and low. Fannie Mae at the bottom end is about $0.76 cents a share, high is about $0.88 cents - but look at the 52 week high; no way in hell that's going to stay there. Even if it goes up to only $5.00 a share...and my buy price is around $0.80...and I purchase 1000 shares....that's $4,200.00 pure profit. PS - I'm also looking at Colonial Banc Group. I WAS going to buy ALY at under a dollar, but didn't pull the trigger - now look where it's at...I was not happy about that one hehehe |

Travel, music (all kinds, especially jazz and rock) and collecting Tibetan texts (and books in general) and painted scrolls. All told, I have spent about three years in Asia, mostly in India and Nepal.

My other interests are:
Genealogy - I've traced my paternal line to the 18th century (I'm a Jones, so it can get pretty difficult) and numerous other family lines back to Charlemagne. Historical/Political autos - Just added James Madison to my collection Playing around with the stock market XBox 360 - don't find a lot of time to play, but when I do, it's usually Call of Duty: World at War |
