Given your opinions on proven science, I wouldn't put much esteem on a lot of what you say.

...you might be a Collyer Brother.

Who are the Collyer Brothers???

And is that REALLY Eddie Gaedel's famous 1/8 th jersey in the back ground???

I didn't do that, but I got an email from the guy who auctioned Gonzo's gum. After that incident, Topps did a big original art piece of a Bazooka comic featuring Gonzo and Bazooka Joe, had Gonzo sign it and auctioned it for charity, and I won the auction. He emailed me to find out who the heck I was. The piece was featured in an S.I. article on "oddest sports collectibles". I was so proud.

That's funny. Gonzo use to come into Niketown Denver everytime the D'Backs were here... very laid back easy going guy.

He actually was here in Denver when the whole GU Gum thing broke and Topps flew in a rep along with Double Bubble reps and eBay reps and Gonzo chewed a piece of gum for them that they certified and re-auctioned on eBay since the original auction was shut down and they donated all the winnings to charity...

We asked Gonzo about the gum incident when he came in that morning and he was amazed, amused and a little disturbed that we already knew about 'Gum Gate' the day after the original auction was closed down.

The two most prolific collectors of the 20th century. The Collyer Brothers did not own the Gaedel flannel.

frik only giving you a hard time. coon skins go for about 20 bucks a pop where im at. we kill them becuase they are bad for the turkey/quail crop. they eat their eggs. those are some nice pics though. as far as the proven science not too sure where that ones from?

as far as guilt goes sometimes i feel guily spending so much money, but then my wife tells me its ok. if i were spending the mortgage payment or running up credit card debt then id feel bad. i prolem is my hunting and game used addictions. belive it or not the hunting one is worse than the g/u by about 2 to 1

Pretty much everything I own was personally given to me so no, I have no regrets.

I do have Guilt sometimes after I Buy a Item or Items.I have toned down in recent Months in Buying and focused more on Trading if possible.But I get over the Guilt really fast and enjoy what I get because Collecting is a part of my Life and I enjoy doing this and I will keep on Collecting no matter what.

Always looking for Orioles Game Used Items.

Thanks
