Pudge

[freddie]

Mike, are you happy that Pudge is coming home?

Damn, is he going to retire after this year? Is this his swan song?

[Gonzaleznut]

I am elated. And just in time for the stretch run. It will surely energize the fan base.

Heard his interview on the way to work tonight.....He's says he'd like to play for another 3 yrs, and he feels good right now. Pudge did mention tho, he'd finish his career in Texas.

Check out these two Pudge cards I just got. I had to pay over $50 for each one, but man are they cool.

Really nice cards. :)

I don't see how they would make a Texas card with 6 players and one of those not be Juan Gonzalez.

yes, even though hank is my favorite current ranger, he doesnt exactly belong w/ that group

None of this conversation belongs under Juan Gonzalez. The conversation belongs in chit chat.

Thanks Dan for keeping us straight.

I have now accumulated more 1/1s of Pudge in the year and a half I have been collecting him (13) than I have in the 15 years I have collected Juan.

And I probably only paid an average of $15-20 each for the Pudges.

way to go Mike

Amazing...I pick up Pudge's really cheap all the time and then you see an auction like this and it makes you scratch your head.

I know that there is a serious contingent of patch collectors out there, but that was a little high for that card.

By the way, I am up to 20 Pudge 1/1s, over 300 game used cards, and well over 2,000 different all together.
