Removing ink from baseballs

[Reginald Marsh]

Well actually i just got home because i was helping a basketball player try out for a college team because he could not speak English nor did he have any connections and Whoaaaaa....GASP- i am friends with the head coach and actually got the kid a shot at achieving his dream.

Carrigan's ghost......bro you truly are borderline retarded because everyone knows i am going to post a 4 figure card because i said that is what i intend on doing. Having said that my plan has changed a little.

I was going to post a rare and very difficult card but it would have cut out set collectors so i thought hmmmmmm change gears. I will be sending out a card to be graded shortly that will be a very big card no matter how it comes back. The card will without a doubt be the best card offered on the Net54 auction card side unless i have missed something and if i have i'm quite sure the merry band will point that out to me. Also what i will do is up the ante to 10% for the families of 911 charity and also 10% of a charity that Rambo can select and i trust he knows of one that is legit and that the money goes to where it is intended. There will be no reserve in my auction because i believe reserves are for wusses and for me they are a total turn off, i refuse to take part in any auction where there is a reserve in regards to a baseball card.

A truly great card will hold it's own and not need a reserve and that is a fact.
To get everyone in the mood i am going to put a cool card up right now that is one of the finest examples of it on both pop reports.

Marshall Marshall Marshall. How in Hades will these taunts help draw bids? (BTW, we're a society here and the term is "mentally challenged".)

Your wild throw is in the dugout on this one. Ive met Rawn and his lovely lady upcountry some time ago. He's the most normal of the lot of us here, not to mention quite generous. (also owns some premier BA material) Of course he can handle you, but Im telling you to back off or youll reawaken the stallion.

Focus., Now get over to the auction, appears to be a little snafu.

[Reginald Marsh]

Really lads it's all good and politically correct is not my bag. The Jess Haines card is just a teaser for things to come. Their is a certain card that is being sent in to be graded and when it returns it will go on the block. Also note Rambo that i have now thrown you into the mix with the charity of your choice at 10% so that will be 20% of the auction will go to charity.

All of the facts will be posted in regards to both charities when i auction off the card. I wanted to choose a card that has a wider appeal based on all factors.

Carrigan's ghost......bro i never take anything serious when it comes to horsing around so neither should anyone else. When i get the card back from grading i'll let both you and Steve know when it's going to hit the block.

Nice to see the memorabilia side being tarnished once again by an immature individual who uses profanity and calls people names. Refresh my memory on why this is tolerated here?

Dick, I would like to get your opinion on the possibility of removing some glue marks which are really detracting the appearance of a unique turn of the century brewery trade card I have. I'll email you when I get home and will include a photo of the piece to get your opinion on what can be done for it.

All the best,

Greg Theberge

Nice to have a real collector back to the board, Greg. Please show us some new pickups to get away from the soaps going on around here.

Hey Rawn,

Unfortunately, no new baseball pickups, bit did pick up an amazing turn of the century reverse on glass brewery sign and some (24+) ultra-rare beer bottles from 1895-1935 with their original paper labels. The baseball stuff has been bone dry I'm afraid.

Greg

[carrigansghost]

OK Please tell me that someone had the honor of emptying the bottles. Nothing sadder that a beer that never lived up to the hype.

Rawn

[HiNeighbor]

All empty Rawn...

Somebody long dead enjoyed them quite a while ago.

Well put Greg. And I second the statment that Rawn is one of the most generous/genuine collector or person that I have ever dealt with.

[carrigansghost]

<<<<< blushes, just a fellow collector.

Stand, and drink a toast once again
Let every loyal Maine man sing


PS. Rawn: Just checked out your Photobucket site. Let's work out a trade for your M116 Auth for my Rough PSA7. He belongs in Maine, not Hawaii.

I didn't attend the world renown UMO, but I have tilted a beer or two in Orono.

Greg, I have an unopened bottle of Blatz beer that I believe may be pre-prohibition....is there any way to tell and what kind of value might it have? The label is not in the best of shape...I'll have to take a pic and send it to you.

[HiNeighbor]

Dan,

Shoot me a pic and I MIGHT be able to tell. New England is more my specialty, but there are a lot of characteristics that will tell if it's before 1920 or not. If it mentions anywhere "IRTP" or "Internal Revenue Tax Paid" that would place the bottle between 1933 and 1950. It it doesn't, the bottle is either pre-pro, or after 1950, but the fifties bottles are pretty easy to determine. Unfortunately, itt might not have much of a value seeing that it was a large company and it's not in good shape, but who knows.

David- may I please have a taste of the Chamberlain Pale Ale? Thank you

[slidekellyslide]

Some pics...the last pic is just a few of the unopened beer bottles I've come across at auctions over the years.

[HiNeighbor]

Dan,
The Blatz does look pre-1920 to me, although condition is a factor. The rest of the bottles are much later.

All the best,
Greg

That's terrific, my second favorite general Josh Chamberlain, the "Lion of Little Round Top" has his own brew.

An offensive bayonet charge vs rebel musket., What!? And it was highly effective. His life is an inspiring story. Thanks for posting.
