But let's keep it real. Not even my loving mother wants to hear me whine. Grading projects are part of my job description. And my job pays the bills and allows me to buy sixty-six year old trading cards like this:
1952 Red Man #AL23
So as soon as I'm done publishing this post, I'm gonna suck it up and get back to work. But before I go, I want to give a quick shout out to Tom over at The Angels, In Order. He's the one who listed this Williams on eBay last month. I wonder how many other eBay purchases I've made have been off of fellow bloggers.
Well... time to knock off a few more projects before I head home.
Happy Thursday and sayonara!
Very nice pick up. Wait a minute...You shouldn't be reading this comment... Get back to grading those projects. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteA Teddy Redman. Great card. Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteI thought about buying that. Glad it found a good home!
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to bid on that one. I put it on my watch list 4 or 5 days before it ended and forgot about it. I also do recall you commenting on Tom's blog about it and saying you were thinking of bidding.
ReplyDeleteI thought about bidding too, but not after I found out that I might be bidding against a fellow blogger. Bidding against one of our own unknowingly is one thing, but to do so knowingly, well, that just seems kind of wrong.
DeleteNice pick-up!
ReplyDeleteNifty!
ReplyDeleteNice snag!
ReplyDeleteAny Red Man is a great acquisition, but this is extra special. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteCool pick up!
ReplyDeleteNice, now back to work!
