September Pickup Thread...

I love flea markets part 2:
Thank You, Bob, for two separate transactions. I also picked up a grouping of 1950 Pirates from Larry, but have included the picture of Mueller in this post because his picture in the grouping was from his first stint with the Pirates in 1939:

Thank You, Chris and Thank You, Neil:

I have had this one for a bit, but it doesn't look like I have ever scanned it in. I love the colors on this one!! It looks way better in hand than in the scans. Sorry for the big scan, as I don't understand the new photobucket program yet.

I also added a real sharp Collins that is going to stay in the holder, unlike all of the others in the Collins collection.

On a side note, sad to say that over the course of my career, I have been responsible for the death of millions (maybe billions) of chickens and tens of thousands of cows (mostly sway back milks long past prime). I have also not been a friend to the nations level of obesity. I do ask that these facts not be held against me in any BST transactions!

Thanks,
Bob

I like animals too, and I don't hunt much anymore. I was never much of a deer hunter. However, that having been said, I don't have a problem with harvesting animals for food and to keep all of the stock healthy.

Jeff and others, IMO, its a bit hypocritical to decry hunting as you talk about when you are going to eat your next juicy steak. Just because you didn't kill it yourself doesn't mean that it isn't as dead. If you ever bothered to look at how the animals you choose to eat live their lives, I suspect that you would end up having to admit that they probably lived a much more miserable life than did the one in the scan.

Kenny, it's more than a bit hypocritical -- it's a lot hypocritical, I agree; that was sort of the point I was trying to make with my post by bringing up the dinner. And I really hope that someday, preferably soon, I can stop eating meat.

The only thing I was thinking was: Did he make some jerky out of some of that buck? Because if he made some jerky, I would more than be willing to trade some T206s (or whatever) for some jerky. That jerky you buy in the store is crap.
