SGC 55, chip on the left border keeps it lower

[vthobby]

Minor league card or pre-rookie if the above is truly his rookie!

This one has some creasing.....

Peace, Mike

Funny ... you said there was a chip "on the border" ... I read "on his shoulder" for some reason.

Lol nicely done.

[vthobby]

I can't believe how tough it is to fly into NYC......

The Pope was getting on the flight to NYC and he was almost not allowed on the plane because he tried to bring on more than three ounces of holy water!



Peace, Mike

When I look at the different signed baseballs in your collection I always ask myself "where and how the heck did he get that one signed." This one is no exception. Very cool.

I imagine his "true" rookie would be with the Padres...

[swarmee]

Yeah, he had a Ginter card in 2013. As I mentioned in the thread posted on the Off Topic forum last week.

The old ladies in my town finally took the plastic covers off of their sofas this weekend.

Having been raised in a Roman Catholic household - and - having then lived in South Philly for a decade or so as a young adult, I truly know what you mean.

After the plastic covers are removed, it would be time to wash the china that nobody else is allowed to eat from.

Please don't take offense, Leon...just talking about shared experiences.

Best regards to all,

Eric

Nice card Richard. Curious as to where you got it? Handout at the Philadelpia festivities?

[kmac32]

With all the Pope talk, little known fact but he was not the first Pope to play MLB

According to some of the political pundits, Francis is currently toiling for the Reds.

Thank you A friend in the government picked this one up for me.

[TAVG]

I made this one lol

[kkkkandp]

Il Papa definitely has a sense of humor. I think he might like the baseball cards.

Only 46 if you add Francis to the search though.

[buymycards]

The value of this card will go up when he is inducted into the "Sainthood".

I believe he has the stats to make it.

There were probably some of Pope Francis cards not described as such. Regardless, the Pope rookies aren't too rare.

The Pope is a member here, but mostly lurks.

[richardcards]

removed all post don't want to be part of jokes on pope.
asked kindly to refrain from jokes and asked for positive post.
too much to ask for.

goodbye

[Sean]

All Robert did was make a joke, and not even at your expense. You must be the most thin-skinned individual on this site.

And another thing: don't tell us what we can post or not post in your thread.

Goodbye.

[caramelcard]

Bye Richard.

Figured you were joking, but I'm assuming you're not at this point...

Is it a bad time for an aging metalhead to make a joke about Satan?

There's never a bad time...

[doug.goodman]

Damn, I don't know any good satan jokes.

But, here's the room I stayed in last time I was in Rome, and I have no guarantee that's the pope's trash, but those are the only bins behind the Vatican...

I'd pay double to stay in that room

Wasn't just Catholic or Philly. We were NYC Jews and we had china we never used. My aunt had the plastic sofa covers but my parents one upped her and designated an entire room, ironically called the "living room", as one where no one was allowed to go into unless it was a "special occasion".

Now, we know the pope has a RC, but can you find him in the pizza?

[egri]

I wonder how long it will be before they come out with Papal Autograph/Relic cards, and pre-rookie cards for promising Cardinals.

And as I stand outside typing that, an acorn fell out of a tree and almost whacked me on the head. How's that for Catholic guilt?

They might be Mass produced.

That was a SGA in Philly I see now, but most people are asking around $25 for one. Wow, seems a bit steep. I see bids on a few in the $10-15 range, but didn't bother to look up completed auctions to see what they ultimately went for. Appears he has an A&G card from 2013, so certainly not a first card by any stretch.
