Everyone please remember that the plastic slabs of graded cards should not count toward your hobby weight.

You will also need to subtract your own weight when standing on the scale while holding this hobby material.

Brian, you may not count your slabs in determining your hobby weight, but I sure do. And, I have far more of the heavier SGC slabs than I have PSA slabs, which gives me a leg up on all the PSA affectionados.

SGC slabs also have the additional advantage of taking up more space.

I’d still take an SGC slab over that ugly PSA one any day of the week.

I was hoping this would be about early collectors. Things don't always go according to plan though.

James Cagney approves of Buck Barker's creative use of pen and available space on this Zeenut.

At least we’re consistent, if not infuriating!

Infuriating is kind of harsh. More like annoying ....We almost all do it and I am as guilty as the rest.

For our PCL fans.....

That picture of him reminds me of my next door neighbors, the Burdicks, on Janet Drive, where I grew up from 1965 to 1971 in Syracuse. I mean the resemblance is strikingly similar to that of a boy in that family by the name of David, who at the time was a couple of years older than me. I am pretty sure they were related to old Jefferson himself in some fashion.
