Just found this on a random website, I'M RICH!!!!!!!!!

2. 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken
1989 Fleer Bill Ripken
Estimated Price: $10,000

This card gained notoriety due to an obscenity that found its way onto the bat’s knob in the background. Bill Ripken‘s card was released with this unintentional “scribble” on a limited number of cards. Fleer tried to rectify the situation by airbrushing the knob in subsequent print runs, but the error version became a collector’s favorite. Today, a PSA 10 graded example of this card can command a price of over $10,000.

I am struggling to find a dentist that is able to treat post cancer patients. They end up messing my teeth up.

JosieD · 12-08-2025, 04:32 PM

Everyone I have spoken to so far is booked until August or September of 2026!

They had "employees" that walked around dressed in very fancy clothing to serve the guests. I was completely out of my element.

They owned several peach orchards in Edgefield County and were family friends with the Thurmond family going back who knows how long. The father said the land had been in his family since "before Sherman burned stuff to the ground". They had a building full of expensive cars that nobody drove. They were for show.

When he asked what my parents did, I could tell from his reaction that his daughter didn't have the say on who she dated. It wasn't long after that when she told me she didn't think things would work out.

This totally tracks with my experience. Had some family that worked for folks who “had money”…

I only had to hear “you don’t tell the man that owns half the county no, if you wanna be able to live in the county” a couple times to figure out what real money means

There’s definitely a difference between money and money. We had a family friend that if you looked at him you’d never guess he had money. Drove trucks, wore old coveralls every day. Oil and grease all over him.

We were at his house one time and I asked “Mr Paul, how much land do you have”? He asked me if I wanted to ride and see his property and we jumped on a side by side. We rode over 2 miles from his back door down to the river. He owned so much land. He wasn’t just a truck driver, he owned the trucking company and the mechanic shop everybody around here took their trucks to. He drove trucks because he enjoyed it. I learned so much about life from that man. He was tough, he wasn’t PC like people want today, he was honest and he was the way he was. People either loved him or hated him.

He told me once, the best part of the way he lived was he didn’t have neighbors and people thought he was a simple truck driver so they didn’t ask him for anything.

In the low 20s this morning. The snow and ice must have hit hard the counties south and west from us as most of those schools are closed or on a 2 hour delay today.

fulltritty · 12-09-2025, 07:52 AM

We lost power for about 4 hours last night. It came back on sometime after we went to bed. Transformer blew by the Sheetz and took out power to Sheetz, our neighborhood, and the two other neighborhoods by us.
