Yours for $69.99 Not 4 nothin but the Mets would probably charge $6,999 for this [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-NEW-YORK-METS-SUBWAY-SIGN-DOUG-FLYNN-AUTO-/120850092972?pt=Vintage_Sports_Memorabilia&hash=item1c233a13ac#ht_1395wt_1155

That's pretty cool. I think the subway sign that would most tempt me would be the one of Darryl Strawberry endorsing milk.

Looks like the same guy has Frank Taveras and Steve Henderson ones as well. The is a 4 by 5 foot Lee Mazzilli one going for$600

That poster couldn't be more "in" if it featured him shirtless and making out with Taveras.

I really badly want to buy this. Wifey won't think it's a good use of $69.99 plus shipping though.

Super cool, yeah can't imagine trying to convince the missus that it's super cool.

themetfairy Jan 27 2012 12:05 PM Re: In Like Flynn

It is very cool. I'm trying to figure out whether D-Dad would like it as a surprise for the basement.

It does say, "Best Offer." Toss him a sawbuck and an autographed "MbTN."

Edgy MD Jan 27 2012 12:14 PM Re: In Like Flynn

I already own most of these, some autographed. I collect very little memorabilia, but these I cherish. What I'm saying is, before purchasing, please double check that it's not my wife doing selling. If it is, well, they she and I will have to talk.

themetfairy Jan 27 2012 12:25 PM Re: In Like Flynn

For those of you familiar with Flynn's autograph - does it look legit? (I have no reason to doubt it's authenticity. But I figured I'd ask you guys before plunking down the dinero) OE - I've looked at other samples of Flynn's autograph online, and this looks like the real deal.

themetfairy Jan 27 2012 01:53 PM Re: In Like Flynn

OK - I decided to go for it. I think that D-Dad will enjoy it as a Valentine's Day gift.

There were a couple of 2000-ish era subway signs which I absolutely contemplated trying to swipe at one point. "Were You There?" (or something similar to that) was the campaign's theme as that slogan accompanied in-action shots of Ventura's GS-Single or Rey making a stab in the hole. Those will probably find their way to EBAY in a decade or so which means I coulda made a lot of dough by going through with my plan ... or spent some time in Rikers, one or the other.

I've got those with Flynn, Joel Youngblood, Steven Henderson, Craig Swan, and Frank Tavarez. Three are signed. Good stuff. I like things like that.

themetfairy Feb 14 2012 04:17 PM Re: In Like Flynn

I gave it to D-Dad this evening - he loves it :)

Hanging in the man cave -

Looks bee-yootiful, MF. But shouldn't that be, like, in the DD/MF boudoir or make-out nook?

I'm with LWFS. I keep mine in the love den. And I keep second base covered.
