Got another Bernie for my collection. All totalled, I have 18 Bernies now!

In the process of acquiring these Robinsons, I have come across a ton of Sato, Telfair and Vujacic' from sellers' other auctions. I love to get something cheap with combined shipping, so I guess you could say I collect Sato, Telfair and Vujacic now too. Hehehe.

BTW, doesn't Bernard look like a woman wearing makeup to look like a man in that photo? It's creepy. Why couldn't they have used an action shot?

He looks like that in all of his rookie cards:) Nice mailday though...its a nice design and sato has a cool autograph

Thanks for the kind words.

I know him in real life. I was shocked that he was drafted. Actually, I didn't even know until I was working on the Finest set I am doing and saw his card. I was hooked and had to collect him.

He did one of the dumbest things I have ever seen in my entire life. I need to tell the story.

OK, we're sitting in a class in a giant auditorium at UM, taking the midterm. There are about 60 people in there taking the test, and as always, the athletes are sitting together in one side of the room. The Prof is in the front, and he informs us that when we finish the test, we are to turn it in and take an answer key and check over our answers to see how we did.

Well, about halfway through the test, the prof leaves to go to the bathroom. Robinson gets up, runs down to the front of the class, and takes an answer key and passes it around to the rest of the athletes.

A few hours after the test, the prof e-mails us to tell us that someone informed him that some people cheated on the test and that we would have a class meeting about it.

Long story short, they stole the answer key, passed it around, and cheated. The funny part? THEY ALL STILL FAILED THE TEST! ALL OF THEM!

It seems they couldn't figure out if they had test "a" or "b", even though test "a" had a giant "a" on the top.

Of course, as athletes, they got away with it.
 
Nice pickups!!! The autos are not cutoff which is a big plus. That is an intresting story though.
