What's up Mark? I haven't chimed in much lately or done much trading, but I'm still collecting here in central Mississippi. I'm only collecting hockey, I've passed on several NFL 10 chases including Bledsoe, Green, and J. Lewis.

The Wal-Mart in Magee, MS was having a giveaway for a Steve McNair signed football and had a opened variant of him in the case. He's seen around now and then and has done signings here in the past since he played H.S. ball nearby in Mount Olive and college at Alcorn.

Nope I have to work tommorrow so I will be going by to see if they got the McNair and Holmes in but Sunday is reserved for a full day of Sunday Ticket. I will get a new fig count tommorrow as well and let everyone know whats left. Should be plenty thought the only ones actually on the shelve were three moss and 1 Maning the rest were up above the shelves so assistance would be needed to get them down.

I could fix it if it broke but I can't even get that good a deal:p I work in the service dept (10 yrs and counting). I use to have ebx in wolfchase on lock down when their cases came in for probally the last 4 series in football and probally all the way back to series 6 on baseball. They use to be the only game store in town where the varinats actually hit the shelves. but on NFL 8 and cooperstown it seemed like they never got them in till weeks after gamestop so I gave up. and didn't even look there for nfl 9. As far as the Manning Two packs. Don't worry there will be plenty at wally world and TRU. probally the only thing that the TRU guys don't scalp. Where do you work by the way.

Don't know what 2 packs your looking for but most if not all can still be found around town. I know that the Wallmart in Millington had tons and I meen tons of Favre/Urlacher and McCaffery/Thomas. I have seen several Gannon/Brooks, Jeter/Garciapara, and Sosa/Helton around town. I think most of the Strahan/McNabb got snatched up when Toys R Us had them miss priced at 9.98 but There should still be alot around.

I'm in Mandeville, LA. Recently moved from Colorado Springs, CO. That whole gulf coast region appears to be good for SPs. I live within 10-15 minutes of 2 Target stores and within 15-20 minutes of 2 TRUs. Gulfport, as well as Biloxi (I go that way about twice a month) are good places to find SPs. Too bad I had tell you guys. Now, I'll probably never find any.

No wonder us locals don't seem to find much in Gulfport and Biloxi.. If we've got folks making the trip from LA to pick up the SP's it will only get worse.. Are you guys working your way accross the coast? If so, I've probably ran into a few of you at one time or another. Although I don't make that trip, I do frequent the Biloxi, TRU.... Good hunting.... I'll be back in the hunt come January...

Hi again
Tonight I saw my first Tim Brown with no towel! It was at the Target in Covington. I hope we get to see the Manning 2-packs. I'm sure they'll go quick in this area. I'll check Walmart in the morning. I may just have to drive around to see if they turn up anywhere else. I've seen posts where they turned up at TRU, too.

By the way, I left the Brown right behind the Holt figure. It was on the front of the peg when I found it.

Also, did I read a post correctly? Is NFL10 out already? I read a post where a guy said he saw 6 regular Roy Williams figs.

About Moe's, I did try it. It reminded me of Chipotle's, but it was pretty different because it offered more than just burritos. I forgot what I had (wasn't a burrito), but I'll be going back to try other things on the menu.

I'm going to drive around today to see if other stores got more SPs. I'm hoping to score a Manning 2-pack, but here in the New Orleans area I think they'll be pretty popular. Even among non-SP collectors.

On Thursday afternoon, I drove to Mobile, AL to help my father-in-law pick up his cruisin' car (34 Ford) from Boomer's.

Went to Biloxi this week. Their GameStop had nothing new, and older sets on clearance. NBA 3" series 1 for $.99, and two Red Wings figs for $2.99 (Yzerman w/cup and I think Chelios). Walmart across the street had 12" Urlacher and 3 red Vicks. I'm going back tomorrow, so I'll check out the mall, too.

Anyone going to Cruising on the Coast? My Father-in-law has a 34 Ford Coupe riding around there.

I talked with GS today seems the release date on NFL 10 has been pushed back to Nov 11 or 12. I dont if the guy knows what he is talking about but he said that this series is the most pre-ordered series to date for GS nation wide

I used to go on road trips to Montana (they have Shopko stores) and I used to have great luck finding SPs regs & variants. I can make some phone calls to see who took my place at my old job, but I can't promise anything because I was the only SP collector at the job. I was pretty lucky before, but I don't know how many more collectors popped up along I-25.
