Après moi, le déluge...
Until the White Horse Cafe came on over her rudimentary cable connection and she had a couple of sneaky beers years after my grandpa died.... then she'd start woot wooting about the tight buns of the cowboys dancing, and I was like "no grandma... that's gross. But those young women with tiny spinning skirts are hot as hell"...

Then she would wax lyrical about how she needed to find a nice widow doctor with tight buns, and I was like, "grandma, you meet a nice fellow, widow or not, young or old, who cares about you, I'm all onboard".... then she would sob and laugh and sob and laugh... then we'd we laugh at that....and then she would say that my grandpa was the only man she ever loved.... but she wasn't dead... and old women still can be horny... and we'd laugh more.

Ahh id have had a beer with her she sound fun and kind, but i would have kept my buns to the wall, prison rules.

You might have a point.... being frugal and depression era, one Christmas in the later 80's she bought all 31 of her grandkids matching Santa boxer shorts that would have cost maybe 50 cents apiece, then padded out of the gifts with 2 bucks (at the time) of chocolates, all wrapped up. The boxers were harsh white textured linen with little Santa's... probably from China because they hate us round eyes unless they get an opportunity to make a beautiful child with us.

My grandma had a weird sense of humour....

@Frood your stuff about food is pretty spot on. I spent my whole life budgeting, saving, etc. at this point I don't mind a little convenience. I live in an apt, am relatively retired and money isn't an issue for me.

You need to see what's actually happened here to appreciate that what cost a dollar in January costs 1.70 now. Across the board, pmuch with whatever you buy.

We were spending 120 every 7 or 8 days with fillins for whatever ran out. Now we spend 200 or more. Same stuff different day.

Cool. Are those sigs legit or factory stamped?
Those are factory stamped @Alticus .

But that was intentional because it was part of the design to give the cards a 'personalized look' or feel.

They did that back then.

The set that used it to great effect was the TOPPS set around the mid 1950s

They're Factory stamped .

But that was part of the design. to give it a personalized look.

The set that made effective use of it were the TOPPs edition whom many consider one of the best ever made:

They're still pretty cool anyway.
You can still find relatively inexpensive NHL personalized memorabilia for cheap @Alticus

I bought this autographed photo with Bobby Hull's signature and a COA for $30.

Try that with baseball cards and it's like several thousand or $1 million for the equivalent.

Hockey stuff is a lot more exciting and better looking anyway.
