OT: Nuns cash in

[dash]

and then cash out...

BALTIMORE -- A rare Honus Wagner baseball card that was bequeathed to an order of Roman Catholic nuns has sold at auction for US$262,000.

The Baltimore-based School Sisters of Notre Dame put the card up for sale after inheriting it from the brother of a deceased nun. The sale price exceeded the expectations of auctioneers at Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries.

The nuns will receive $220,000 from the sale. The total sale price includes a 19.5 per cent buyer's premium. Sister Virginia Muller, who was entrusted with the card, says the proceeds will go to the order's ministries in more than 30 countries around the world.

Collector and card shop owner Doug Walton bought the card.

About 60 of the T206 Honus Wagner cards, produced between 1909 and 1911 are known to exist.

Lets hope with all that money, one or two of them pick up some bad habits.

There were three young ladies from Birmingham
And this is the scandal concerning 'em
Seems they lifted the frock
and tickled the cock
of the bishop engaged in confirming 'em

Now the bishop was nobody's fool
He'd been to a good public school
So he took down their britches
And buggered those bitches
With his ten inch episcopal tool

Four nuns were standing in line at the gates of heaven.

Saint Peter asks the first if she has ever sinned. “Well, once I looked at a man’s penis,” she said.

“Put some of this holy water on your eyes, and you may enter heaven,” Peter told her.

Peter then asked the second nun if she had ever sinned. “Well, once I held a man’s penis,” she replied.

“Put your hand in this holy water, and you may enter heaven,” he said.

Just then the fourth nun pushed ahead of the third nun.

Peter asked her, “Why did you push ahead in line?” She said, “Because I want to gargle before she sits in it!”

Did you get to second base?

 

[Comeds]

Is it possible to get to negative bases?

Sick, she let you in the dugout?

 

[Comeds]

No, as the evening progressed she put on more and more clothes. Not too different from most of my dates.

The card that sold for over a million was in mint condition....this card was rated as "poor"....that's the difference...
