ESPN aritcle on the national - ton of pics

Awesome link.....!

Fun article and pics. I admit to also being a bit baffled by the Prewar Sports booth photo caption. I thought perhaps it was a jibe at a booth being vacant during a trade show where customers were supposedly around--there is always quite a bit of that at shows with lots of resulting whining--rather than a shot at the prewar items themselves.

I think it's just a guy trying to be funny...... For the most part it worked....

They thought the Wagner gamer would easily fetch 7 figures? It went for just over $33,000.. Cool read!

Loved the picture of 54er Todd S. in his Hawaiian shirt This was the known sighting of Todd before he went to the White Sox game and disappeared....

Great link! Alot of what the captions said cracked me up.

Like Simmons said, too bad YouTube was not around for that 1983 Billy Martin roast!

Funny stuff! It was hysterical. Great sense of humor! We tend to take this too seriously anyway and it was nice for an outsider's perspective. Laugh a little.. it is only baseball cards!

.....Who is the individual on the cutting edge of fashion, wearing the "jorts," in
the "Hawaiian Shirt" picture?

Thanks for the fun read. I really liked the Ryan/Ventura "Don't mess with Texas"

Also, learned something new.......I didn't know those were called "jorts"

Someday I hope I can make it to one of these Nationals. Thanks again for the link.

Sincerely, Clayton

If I remember correctly, they weren't "jorts"...they were "daidujorts" or "daisy duke shorts". Hawaiian shirts are bad enough, daidujorts....no comment

Hahahaha this is hilarious... I loved the comment about Al Davis..."This signed Al Davis check is going to skyrocket in value when he dies six years ago..."
