M'Orr'e Mess of a Mail Month and a Piece of History

[calgore7]

Sorry guys for the cheesy title, but we just ran out of ideas :|

Anyways, we haven't been breaking anything at all since we moved, but we still managed to pick up some decent cards for the personal collection. Here are the Mess:

Here is the Orr, which we got it at a pretty good price:

We had to pick up the following not only because it was a fairly decent price, but it contributes to our little collection of acquiring autos of the "50 Greatest NBA Players":

Lastly, we picked the following piece up, I guess for historical reasons.

If you don't really know the story behind it, here is a link for it:

Anyways, thanks for the look! :beer:

That title is almost as bad as some of mine...almost!

What's with all the Mess? Why are you collecting that bum?

I like the Mikan actually - nice to see some love for the original NBA big man

But the German marks steal the show - I remember the post war hyperinflation and paying a billion marks for a loaf of bread. Ahh some history right there!

Thanks for the show and congrats on some nice pickups

I guess we are collecting the "bum" because we want to pad our semi-players collection (Mess/Gretz/Lemieux/Orr/Howe)...I guess we will eventually try to horde all their autos

We waited for a reasonably priced Mikan to eventually show, and when it did, we had to grab it. It is even nice that it is a hard signed autograph

We kind of like collecting odd ball pre-WWII stuff, keeps things interesting.

Oh, by the way Geoff, Andrew is in Toronto to watch the U2 Concert, Marcus and I will be hanging out with him today, to catch up on things
