The heads might be from Rose/Russell Gammage. Rose produced figures as kits in 54mm, crisply sculpted and cast, and the parts turn up in a lot of collector & hobbyist conversions. As toy soldiers, those are pretty nicely done. Prost! Brad

Not really a need to remove it. The discussion is still open and their ID unresolved. Someone else might stumble across it and have more info. Prost! Brad

That reminds me of when I was in college, and a Philly radio station had a morning show called the Morning Zoo. Wacky DJ playing comedy bits and telling jokes between songs. I listened and thought it was great, till I went to Tampa on vacation and heard the same thing on a station down there...

New item: I can't stand the voice on the narrator of the Medishare insurance commercials. He's radio host Brant Hansen. He's probably a good host, and a nice guy. And it's not a reflection on the product. It's just his voice. He adopts a tone like he's having a conversation, and that's...

It's been long overdue. He's survived previous situations where his job was in question, but this time, his luck has run out. He did some great things with a program that was still struggling to recover from the Sandusky scandal, but he's failed enough times against the conference. His...

So it's what I suspected, it's a fake term, or one used by such a small segment of the people who live there as to be insignificant, and for MLB's marketing to use it really is pandering to that segment. It's similar to the way the Phillies' broadcasters now refer to their home ballpark. It's...

Do you folks in St. Louis really refer to your city as "The Lou"? The Cardinals use that on their "City Connect" jerseys, and I am skeptical that anyone actually calls St. Louis, "The Lou". If anyone, I suspected that it's a hip-hop thing. Prost! Brad

That came out very nice, Walt! Are you bringing this to Long Island? Prost! Brad

Yes! He's one of my regular dealers. I watched that auction through several re-lists and always wondered if you were watching it, too! I've got a couple of the sedan chair kits from him, too, but only started on one. Prost! Brad

I love watching you build these classic Phoenix carriage kits, Walt! Do you have a particular vignette in mind already for this one, or is that yet to be decided? You've inspired me, too-I picked up the Royal Mail Coach recently off eBay, including 4 horses, the driver and a footman. I'll...

The original poster cited both. Labeling them is a start. As far as enforcing goes, I'll say the same thing that I said about implementing economic policies, and getting judicial action against those who abused the law in the previous administration. It takes time. It's not like there is a...

I don't think the bye had anything to do with it. The Phillies' big hitters have cycled through slumps like this throughout the regular season, and that was when they played every day. The lack of offense doesn't help, of course, though in Game 2, a win would only have taken 2 runs. The...

With the way the division series is going, and with today a travel day for the Phillies, Phillies fans are going down to the airport to boo takeoffs and landings. Prost! Brad

Antifa was designated a domestic terrorist organization, back on 22. September. Prost! Brad

Did anyone get any more pictures? Perhaps anyone who did can post them in this thread. Prost! Brad

More precisely, imagine that it happened during Trump's administration, when the incompetence of the past 4 years was supposed to have been corrected. The lapse is akin to the poor procedure that let a sniper climb to a roof on a farm show building and take a shot at a presidential candidate.

Nice work, Walt! I look forward to seeing this at Long Island in November! Prost! Brad

Just heard the news that MLB has approved the automated balls/strikes system for next year. Umpires will still call balls and strikes, but the pitcher, catcher, and batter can appeal the call, and it will be checked against the system. If they don't like it, the umpires have no one to blame but...

Don't forget Koufax. But yeah, Kershaw is certainly among the top 5 the Dodgers have ever had. Prost! Brad

Yeah, one the first one the Eagles got, when viewed in slow motion, it looked like one of the defenders jumped a split second early. I was surprised that no official caught it, since at least one should have been looking down the line of scrimmage. The player wasn't the one who blocked the kick...
