    I never knew there was such a thing as football cards.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    yea they have football cards.. (i know cause I have some lol) I have so many of these damn cards, if i was able to get $1 out of every single card id be f'n rich.

    I seriously have enough cards to start a damn card shop.

    big thing i wonder is. are they actually worth anything.. if they are hell id like to make enough to buy me some radio crap.

    For obvious reasons, people aren't buying them like they used to. They probably would be worth hanging on to because I imagine they will increase in value over time, again. If you did sell them now, you would most likely only get a pittance. Unless, of course, you have a rare one.

    You still got the gum they came with?

    You could put some in your spokes. It sounds cool. Balloons are better, though.

    Look them up and get what you can. I suspect that one day you'll be kicking yourself though.

    If you have any cards of the Pirates, let me know who and what year. I'll see what Little Miss Field Day is interested in. Then we can talk.

    Now if you have a Jim Bouton card from the Yankees... or even better from the Pilots... WE can talk.

    I never had much luck using balloons. They last for a bit and then ...pop. I remember getting in trouble when i used my Mom's good playing cards as wheel flappers. When I was about 13 I got hold of a small motor and I wanted to fit it onto a bike frame to build a self made motorbike. But I would have had to weld mounts onto the frame to hold the motor and a the time I didn't have access to a welder.
