I have most of my family's slides in the closet, but I have no idea if my dad still has his old slide projector.Adam Kaningherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604439081636666350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-41469373802635345122016-10-12T12:25:49.558-04:002016-10-12T12:25:49.558-04:00I can't tell you how many family slide shows I...I can't tell you how many family slide shows I sat through in my uncle's basement in Secaucus NJ while I was growing up. <br /><br />Years ago someone dumped a bunch of slides of 1980s NFL players onto eBay. Some were action shots but most were PR head shots. I nabbed a few of players who never had a card and who I needed for my fantasy team binder. I held on to them for years until I found a cheap USB slide 'reader' and I turned them into custom cards.

I still hear people calling their PowerPoint presentations "slide decks" and that makes me chuckle. <br /><br />We were poor people in my neighborhood, so the only time I remember seeing such a presentation was when a woman in our church went to Australia. It was such an exotic thought to us back then (early 1980s) that we had a whole-church presentation by the woman to go through her slides.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-61227018054368674282016-10-12T07:41:29.373-04:002016-10-12T07:41:29.373-04:00What, you mean slideshows didn't start with Mi...What, you mean slideshows didn't start with Microsoft Powerpoint?<br /><br />I remember slides, I suspect they were just more of a pain than they're worth. I have more memories of holding slides up to a light to see what was on them than of actual slideshows.<br /><br />I just added one of these cards to my COMC shopping cart... we'll see how long mine stays there (or if it also gets bought out from under me).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-84856191298347546362016-10-11T22:10:09.149-04:002016-10-11T22:10:09.149-04:00I remember getting film developed in the early ...I remember getting film developed in the early '80s. I had to choose between prints and slides. You couldn't get both.

One of them will probably be posted on the blog someday, as it's of Joe Namath from when they practiced in Peekskill, where my family is from.

I thought it funny to find it the day after going to the show with you considering that I wasn't even aware those slide cards existed before seeing the other slide card with you and having you mention that you needed the Piazza.<br /><br />I bought a handful of stamped buybacks in British Columbia but know the rules that the '75 ones belong to you and the others can go to Shane.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-40380068291501928032016-10-11T19:28:34.837-04:002016-10-11T19:28:34.837-04:00SOME VERY SHINY PIAZZA'SSOME VERY SHINY PIAZZA'SJohnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.com
