Has anyone noticed the new fantasy columns they have up?

Whoops, nice job, Paul! And yes, I have. The little yellow box is now appearing next to certain players, which brings you to different Fantasy Assembly columns. Will they next be showing up on the home page under fantasy columns? Anyway, nice job and great marketing.

Holy crap...
I hadn't noticed the yellow box thing. That's awesome.

It's a group effort... we'll all be up there soon

It's being reported that the Kemp trade talks are dead in the water. I bet he gets traded by Sunday night. With the way the Rays are playing now, it kinda looks like Price might be staying, doesn't it? One report I read is that the Dodgers are a sure thing to get him, with Joc going in the deal. Gonna be an interesting next few days...

But isn't that what we said last year? :rollseyes:

 

[TKOSpikes]

I don't know why the Dodgers don't just give them away, and by them, I mean Crawford, Ethier and Kemp. And by give, I mean give!

Apparently there was a brawl in the Albuquerque/Reno game tonight, ...hopefully Alex Guerrero's ear is okay!

Just watched the vid on that...someone needs to stick those Isotopes in the fridge.

 

[Chef99]

Man, I love Nolan Arenado. I hope the kid has a long and successful career.

Hey - Good luck today Jim. Our matchup is much closer than the current score indicates particularly with you having two starts today. Could see this flip in your favor- but rooting against it.

So my wife goes takes the kids to a yardsale yesterday, pays $3 for a shit ton of old cards (well, mid to late 80's). I spent 5 minutes tops (get it, tops?) and came up with a Griffey Rookie and a Bo Jackson Rookie.....................hoping to find a fuckface or a whiteout....................oh, and there are some upper deck cards too......................can't wait!
PS There were 5 Barry Bonds 3rd year cards......................

What's the brand on the Griffey? Feel free to send me the Bo Jackson. . It's dang near worthless. . But I've still got a huge man crush on him

Just figured it out. .topps...bah

Topps and Donrus on the Griffey, Topps on the Bo. Just found a Jim Abbott rookie too...............and yeah TREFF, I'm looking for that Upper Deck Griffey! Looks like guys are getting $30 for that Topps Griffey and like $10 for the Bo. Some dude had that Jim Abbott no EBay for $80 but it's down to $40 now. Basically, if I went to a card shop to sell the cards I mentioned, I'd get maybe $20......................but it's fun showing the kids which cards WERE worth a lot of money when I had my collection. The Reverse Negative Murphy looks to have held it's value though.................

The Fuckface card is in the 89 Fleer set. Billy Ripken.

Yeah, I had full sets from 80 to 89..........a whole closet full (figured it at 250,00 cards)............I actually bought the Reverse Negative Murphy for $100 back then but was able to get a shitload of Upper Deck Griffeys just out of packs...........Fuck Faces too, along with black outs, white outs and scribble outs.......

I still have all mine. Ranging from junk cards all the way to a Koufax Rookie and a Pete Rose rookie.

Nice! The ex ended up with all of mine..................never did tell me who she sold them to or for how much.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Don't you just hate when you want to pick someone up off of waivers, but don't really want to drop anybody?

Drives me crazy! Anyone want a two-for-one special?

Wow, very impressive. The only ones I have still kicking around are Jeter and A-Rod rookie cards. I think I still have a Shaq rookie as well.

I still collect them so I got both of them off Ebay in the last 5 years. The ones I still have from childhood are a 64 Mantle, a 59 Johnny Unitas, and a 72 Staubach rookie. The best I have pulled from a pack is a 99 Nolan Ryan reprint autograph of his 94 Topps card. I had that one sent in and graded at a PSA 9.

 

[TREFF]

10 for the Jackson? ? You sure it isn't the Tiffany version? A regular 87 topps Bo lays for less than 5... less than 2 the last time I checked. If someone is getting 10 on ebay he's one lucky bastard

Well Wainwright sure didn't help my cause with only 3 K's (couldn't give me 3 more). Pretty much over at this point so congrats on the win.

Sammy Boy, just shot you an offer (more fishing, better bait).
