    I heard if you pair the Pippen rookie card with it, that one goes up exponentially in value but then sulks in the back of the box. .

    God, what a loser that guy is. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to continue tracking flights in and out of the Hattiesburg airport.

    He's also going to name the card Jaycee Dugard

    My mom, being a mom, threw away my pair of George Herman "Babe" Ruth rookie cards, but for some reason she's held onto the milk carton that showed me missing for a period of nine years.

    @norbizness: In the same vein, I still have my Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa "Slender Youngsters Who Aren't Likely To Bulk Up" rookie Fleer cards, each with a sleekly tapered edge.

    Interestingly, the Sosa card keeps getting paler while the Clemens card . . . well, it's just getting sad.
