The Gifts that keeps on giving.. Christmas pickups 2013
Since I no longer get anything from Santa(Probably because I am an ahole) and everyone else showers me with practical gifts(socks, gift cards, kitchenware, jellies..ect), I decided to treat myself to something I love.......BABES.
Merry Christmas to me! 1) Babe Ruth 1930 TYPE 1 photo pitching as a Yankee against the Red Sox(undefeated as a Yankee pitcher). 2) Marilyn Monroe 1952 Type 1 Playing ball.(love the "slug" as part of a sleeve the photo was stored in). Good God look at those legs.... Anyone else get any memorabilia for themselves/from others this holiday season?? Merry Christmas and Happy New year to my Net54 friends!

My wife wouldn't even know what to get me in the memorabilia dept or even where to get it, how much to spend, et cetera. I'll get the same practical gifts I always get at Christmas, but that's okay because every time I open a package that comes in the mail it's my own gift to myself and that's year round.

I can say that I have had a similar experience with Santa. He told me that Ben is indeed an @$$hole.
But we love him anyway. Graig

I think Santa is just pissed because Ben kept sending back the photos he left under the Christmas tree. "I don't care if it was made with love and magic. Unless your elves produced this print within 2 years of when the photo was taken, it is NOT the Type 1 that I specified on my list!"
Thanks for the holiday chuckles, Ben, and I'd love to see a larger scan of that Marilyn photo sometime. You can put your watermark wherever you want on it, just don't be coverin' dem gams. Yowza!

I sincerely hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve. I have the traditional bacon-wrapped filet mignons cooking, while watching 'A Christmas Carol' with my gf and son. Can't get much better than that.

Every year I tell my girlfriend "If you want to get me a box of cards for Christmas, get me something I can rip (I explained what that meant)." And every year she gets me the annual "Topps Complete Hobby Set." This year I asked her to please just get me a gift card from the hobby shop....

 Seriously though, with two young boys in the house, I can hardly find time to work with the original material that I have on hand and maintain a steady stream of smart-alec responses here. I'd love to be caught up to the point that I could even consider starting a side business of flooding eBay with low-quality LoC reprints and responding to e-mails from disappointed buyers, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Just in case though, I'll file any and all scans of Marilyn's legs that are sent my way in the "Super Secret Do Not Share" folder on my computer where I keep the rest of my "For Reference Only" photo scans Hope everyone had/is having a great Christmas and is looking forward to 2014!

Ben,
Great Marilyn photo, now there's a ballplayer I would not mind getting spiked by. Looking at that umpire, I don't think he will be able to accurately call the next pitch. (Can't blame him}. Great thread Ben, Happy Holidays.

Ben,that Monroe photo is awesome as is Mike's pennant. The Hank Aaron stub was a gift from my father it has long been on my want list. The funky early 1970s Bucs watch was a gift from my kids.
