Today... I received a prize from the sky. Yep... a bird dropped a bomb on me at work. At least it entertained my fifth period class... who got a kick out of seeing me freak out. Have I ever mentioned that I suffer from a mild case of "mysophobia"? In other words... I don't like germs. I'm one of those guys who doesn't like to eat chips out of a bag that's had a thousand hands in it.
Anyways... to make a long story short... after I was finished changing clothes... I realized that I actually hit the jackpot.
At the start of the school year, my friends and I came up with a deal. The first person to get "pooped" on wins $5 each from the other participants. Five of us were in on it... which means that I'm $20 richer.
It's not much... but hopefully I'll find something to take my mind off of my stained shirt. Until then... I figure I'd share some Birds of my own.
Here's my 1992-93 Upper Deck "Larry Bird Heroes" set.
#NNO Header Card
#'s 19 through 26
#27 (front)
#27 (back)
It's a ten card set, which could be found in 1992-93 UD high series packs. All of the cards are listed in Beckett at a $1/piece... with the exception of the #NNO header card. If my memory serves me right... the header card books higher, because it was short printed compared to the other nine cards.
You can find these sets on eBay for around $6... or build it yourself on COMC for under $3.50 (before shipping).
As the title of this post says... I'm not a big fan of birds. Including Larry Bird. But I do love inserts from the 90's... especially the early 90's.
Today's question has nothing to do with cards... and everything to do with birds.
How many times have you been blessed by the birds in your lifetime?
I have no idea why anyone would want to answer this question. Maybe it's so you can make peace with our winged friends. Anyways... I just wanted to let everyone know that today was the fifth time that I can remember.
Actually... a few years ago, I was pooped on twice in a three week period. Best of all... I was wearing the same maroon thermal both times. Lucky me ;-)
Well... I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday as much as I have. Sayonara!
