hahahah , me too. Along with Mcguire, Boggs, Mattingly.
I did see in one box that I had all of Bonds rookies. I was tempted to burn them.

Beckett was always the most reliable for pricing - probably still is.

i know i have a bunch of rookie cards.
i have some real early nolan ryan cards and jordan's rookie. they really aren't worth anything anymore.
i joke with a friend of mine who plays baseball. i bought 5 of his rookie cards online (they came in a pack) to make a gift for him last season and for 5 the price was 1.09
arguably he's the face of the chicago whitesox, and his rookie card is worth 20 cents. haha.

they made too many cards and special editions with upper deck and the other brands all over saturated the market. maybe in 50 years if one of these guys hasn't drunk driven over a pedestrian, killed their kid, beat their wife, or gotten caught up in some scandal, the value of the card may well be able to beat that of inflation, even if only minutely.

Thank you, thank you!

Dear Diarrhea,
Heh, that sounds a lot more manly than Diary for sure. Even though when I have diarrhea I feel about as un-manly as one could be...
Still sounds boss.
I digress, ah sha sha.
Yesterday's earlier events were trumped mightily by the afternoon. I know rite? How? Just you wait diarrhea face.
I was in lunch line stealing food, when Mrs. UglyMoleOnNose eyed me up and asked why I was buying only a chocolate milk when she saw me pick up a hamburger, chips, and an assortment of other items. I looked back to see if there were any teachers quickly to see what my next actions were only to see Sarah behind me who was laughing. Apparently everyone saw me I guess, I thought I was being pretty sneaky jamming a hamburger in my pant pockets but I guess they make us wear these uniforms for a reason.
I always knew I was great at thinking on my feet, but this took to the cake. I should go down in the Hall of Fame for quick thinking.
I blurted out, "Well considering I don't even have enough money for this milk, I guess I'll just take this too." But before knocking over a fruit basket at the end of a line as I exited, I gave Sarah a big smile and went, "And that's how you make nitrogen!", as I flipped a quarter up in the air.
This was two-fold.
The obvious being that I wanted to show her that despite what came off as a meaningless response earlier this morning may have been like my new catch-phrase, or something cool kids say. The other was, I really had no idea to do with the quarter as I was going to pay for the milk and at the very least could talk my way out of stealing in case anyone brought it up.
I then went to go sit with my friends.
Being that they are all in the other lunch period, that means I went to go sit by myself.
And by other lunch period, I mean I don't have any friends in those ones either, but you know that diarrhea face.
As I sat there drawing, I noticed Sarah was walking towards me. Apparently, the quarter I flipped went directly into her nacho cheese which caused a chain reaction of some cheese getting on her, and she threw her nachos up in the air hitting other kids and then (and I can only say by an act of G-d) she had milk spilled all over her shirt.
But for some reason she didn't want to kill me.
We talked and laughed for a bit, and she wrote her number on my hand. She also put an "XOXO" next to her name. I was hoping for, "Sucks a mean dick." But I will just safely assume that for now.
When we got up to leave, she giggled and said, "I think you forgot to take the hamburger out of your pants."
This fucking uniform, I swear to G-d. It is going to be the end of my existence.
Well, that or Greg later this week. I am sure if he catches wind that a girl actually likes me he will find a way to kill me after I am dead.
Oh man, what if Sarah is in on this and gave me Greg's number instead just so I accidetnly piss him off more.
...
Bogus.
I don't think she would, she's too cute. Probably best to just not call her, just in case. Idea. I will just follow her home after school tomorrow, get her address, and double-check in the phone book.
I'd walk her home, but I'm afraid she would make another reference to meat being my skin tight pants.
Gosh, I hope Ashley doesn't find out about this. Though I am pretty sure she only talks to me to get answers to Biology. I have to hand it to her though, she knows how to cheat.
Who would ever expect her to copy off a straight-C student.
Now she's a real genius. I wonder if Sarah is smart. Well she isn't in reading van, or any of my classes so I am going to assume yes. Or at least moderately smarter. That's okay right?
Maybe I should ask my brother how to fight instead of just curling up in a ball when he attacks me.
Oh cheese and peas, I better hurry up and finish this entry if he finds me writing into my Secret Diarrhea he is going to kill me before Greg gets the chance.
Welp, smell ya later,
Jerome
