Julie,

Enough teasing me with the n172's Old Hoss', okay?

EVERY women I have ever dated has basically thought I was nuts for collecting pieces of cardboard with posing men on them. One day in Vermont, I went to an antique store (late 1980's) with one of my ex's and while she was looking at crap for the apartment, I purchased three N29's including both Murphy's for $100 (they were $40 each and I even got the unknowing vendor to lower the price) and she looked at me in the car and said: "Don't you have enough of those silly things?".

SILLY THINGS?

A week later, I placed her on waivers. She became an unrestricted free-agent, able to negotiate with any team she wanted.

Update: I traded away the Murphy's during the early part of the nineties for a dozen T205's and last I heard, she married some guy named Quinn who owned an ice cream store in Mass. Man I miss those Murphy's!
