Ah yes, nothing like hiding in the bushes and shooting a defenseless animal. Congrats!

David:

Love the Senators postcard, wondering if Sam Rice is pictured? Only played 4 games in 1915 ................

[Kawika]

Phil: I couldn't get Rice's face to fit any of the players. There's a bit of resemblance with the guy in the front row fourth from the left but I wouldn't bet a nickle that it's him. Maybe Val Kehl could weigh in. You can get a blow-up view of the post card at my ImageEvent page: http://tinyurl.com/3yxzcnl pw=aloha

David, those Shield postcards look great! Really like the period writing on back.

I was wondering who won that Halla. Congrats, David.

Love those low grade N172's with the strong contrast...

First of all, I hate deer as much as the next guy. They eat all my plants and are a nuisance with the ticks and the running in front of the cars, etc.

Also, I love to eat meat... lots of it.

But you gotta exercise a little discretion before you show off your hunting photos on a baseball card board. Tons of people find that kind of stuff really offensive. And as much as I hate deer and love meat, even I found that photo more sad than anything else.

Isn't there a dead animal board you can post that on?

Same here. I don't have anything against what you are doing and how you get your food, but I'd rather not see it in any form on this board.

What does the dead deer have to do with baseball? Did you chase and kill it with a bat? Was it beaned in the head with a 100 MPH fastball? This is the wrong place for a pic. like that.

player upgrade... I didn't expect to win this....

I just got it back from SGC last week (originally a BST from iggyman last month). The back leaves a little to be desired (paper loss and some crayon?), but the front is gorgeous. This one will be with me for a long time:

Erick,

The Lundgren looks fantastic! Did I ever mention my Net54 B/S/T money back guarantee???

Lovely Day...

More like: Nothing like spending a week in the outdoors with my Dad, hiking about 50 miles and thousands of feet, and finally harvesting an older buck that will feed my family and certain families I know that are out of work and have nothing in their cupboard. The money that hunters spend gives ranchers an economic incentive to perserve and protect their land from real estate developers, and the animals harvested keep the deer population in balance with the native vegetation so it is not wiped out. Yes, I choose to get my meat this way rather than support a corporate meat farm that is run like a death camp and produces tons of environmental waste.

To each his own, but if that makes me a bad person, so be it.

Anthony, those are some AWESOME cards !!!
