Just a friendly bump and editing. Rockpile

There are comic book FB Groups with various names, but it is helpful to see what fans, collectors, retailers and traders have to say. Also, condition is a primary determination of best price for any comic book. I echo the suggestion of looking around E-Bay or other sites to see what is "hot" on the market and idea of the price. Do not expect anything near full value price when selling the collection in bulk or selling to stores. Good luck.

I like to hit the bargain bins at comic stores for reading copies or to pass on to grandchildren.

Me, too!

Thank you for sponsoring me!!

It's time for my annual request of my friends at Two Bills Drive to sponsor me in a fund raiser to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I do not post a lot anymore, but I have been lurking since day one of this web site. Many of you know I was diagnosed with MS way back in 1994, but thanks to advances in treatment that get better each year, I can live a relatively normal life. There was a time when a diagnosis of MS meant getting measured for a wheelchair, but things have greatly advanced since then As of today, Team "Family Rocks!" has been sponsored for $609 with a goal of $1500. We are hoping to break $30K this year. Since 2003 we have raised over $29,000 Thanks to YOU! Sponsor me here Walk MS - Rockpile TBD Sponsors: Jay Todd Bilby Rockpile

So what do they call the runs down south, the two step? 😄

I kept waiting to see that too. I got the feeling that the Bills plan, especially in the second half, was to chug out first downs and keep the clock moving. Hey, after all these years, I will take the win 😄 but you make a good point. Glad my team is still alive and hope they can keep moving the sticks.

The only "official" Bills jersey that I have is Kyle Williams - #95

I grew up in Hamburg, and went to an AHL BISONS game vs the Hershey Bears in Buffalo about 1969. I moved to Rochester and went to Red Wing games, but no one else wants to go anymore, so I drifted away from the Americans and the Sabres. I mostly watch the Stanley Cup finals.

Ah, the Booth Lustig move. Youngsters can google it. 😆

I gave up on the Rochester Red Wings (AAA baseball) when they moved from Silver Stadium in the city to the new stadium downtown and for many other reasons I drifted. In the late 80's I lived 5 minutes from Silver Stadium. We got Knot Hole Club tickets and we went to many games with all four children. They were the farm team of the Baltimore Orioles and I was a fan of players, like Cal Ripken, Jr. You could park a couple city blocks from the field for free, and walk with families and baseball fans safely There would be an all star day annually where past Red Wings (some that were still active in MLB) that was discontinued. MLB has kind of given up on Rochester, IMO They needed a new stadium badly, but the old one was like The Rockpile - lots of sentiment. The new stadium was beautiful more expensive and parking was not free. The kids activities replaced attending many games. We go to games occasionally, but it is not like a football tailgate They became the farm team for the Minnesota Twins and today for the Washington Nationals, who I have no interest in. I basically am a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills (since the Rockpile) and have liked the NY Yankees (since Maris and Mantle), but I only follow football and baseball. I wish I was interested in college and professional football basketball and hockey, but it is not the same excitement for me. Edit: I do love March Madness and the World Series.

I went to the last preseason game this year (with two daughters and four grandchildren). Most people sat because it was a practice game and there were a LOT of kids. Some foolish people were *obsessed* with starting a "wave" in the second half, most likely out of boredom. * The wave is about as current as dialup internet AND * You do NOT do the wave when the Bills have the ball! I explained this to the grandchildren so they grow up informed.

Bill Gray's Great Plate is not great.

Nick's was often a trouble spot because after bars closed at 2AM, it was one of the few places OPEN for hungry partiers to eat and continue their party out back. With current hours of 11-7PM most days I feel saying you can avoid hospitals or stitches. Just drink lots of water after you finish your plate.
