[batsballsbases]

Well I sold off some of the big pieces of my collection to help my oldest son in Med School. But finally it is starting to come to an end! Will graduate this August ,and not a moment to soon for my bank account! (Not to mention my collection) Would I do it again? I will let you know when Im old and feeble and have someone to take care of me! Top row third from the left. And believe it or not it all started with a baseball scholarship!

my senior year in college, I needed one hour of PE credit. Having already taken bowling and weight training, I looked the syllabus over and took badminton. Me and 31 girls. Had a great time, and met a lot of great young ladies.

Had told my son about that and he thought it was creepy. Then last year, his senior year in college, he needed one hour of PE credit. What did he take? Badminton. He and 15 girls (smaller school). Told me later was the best elective he had taken.

Dad wasn't so creepy after all.

I told my wife I would sell my card collection to pay medical bills due to her disablity. She said no, you've worked on it so long. I have great wife.

Good luck to your son in the match. My wife is in her first year of residency. I remember that whole process and would not want to do it again.

My wife is in here 3rd year of med school. It's been one of the toughest things we have been though together. Can't wait for it to be over so we can enjoy each other.

I sold a pretty rare Old Judge card to partially fund the repairs we need to make to our house at the New Jersey shore that suffered extensive damages from Super Storm Sandy. Sadly, that's a card I will likely never be able to replace.

I hate to deliver the bad news Steven, but medical school is a joke compared to the number of hours you put in as a resident.

Agreed. What type of doctor are you?

Sold some vintage cards early last year to purchase and install new Legendary interior in my 1973 Dodge Charger hemi orange 440/4 speed.

My wife never wanted to drive in the charger so I sold the charger late last summer and bought a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, with the rarer white exterior and red interior color combination. She loves the car and drove it as much as she could before it was stored for the winter. We also spent a lot of time driving it on Saturday's last fall. So I guess I have some vintage card money in my corvette!

Here is a photo of the corvette in my frigid garage as it's currently about -5 Fahrenheit outside.

I also attached a picture of the 1973 Charger I sold to buy it. I don't know if there are any muscle car fans on net54 but it was pretty cool and fun shifting the pistol grip shifter.
