One of my oldest and best friends, Tommy Talbot, has a hobby that would make any 12 year old jealous (and me too). Tommy collects sports memorabilia, namely autographs, and resells much of it on various auction sites. He makes a nice chunk of change on the side doing this and gets to meet some of his childhood heroes. I’ve yet to see his basement sports bar but have been hearing about it since before he even had a basement. As kids we knew that one of us would pull such a stunt off – and fortunately his wife is cool enough to let him do it!
Tommy recently went to a conference and got this photo of him and MMA legend Tank Abbott. Tank went to the same high school as I did in Huntington Beach, CA (Marina High). Tank signed a photo for me and his inscription read, “Go Vikings” (our high school mascot). Super cool.
I love the difference in Tank’s and Tommy’s hands. Tank’s fist is the size of Tommy’s head.
