70 blades!!!

Just browsing the other forum and I saw someone posted pictures of his collection, 70 blades total!!!  Holy Cow!!!  Sorry, I won't name names.  Quick, anybody here with >>70 blades please post in the "Picture of Your Blades" to match them!!

69 to go LOL to beat 70, to make my collection 71 lmao.

yeah pls... that's sound a lot of rackets

the forums support each other by linking reasonably to each other.

tommy's too busy trying to hack the competitor's computer so you'll see knicks and dings all over thhe stairs, carpet and patio (he would not touch the blades).

...hopefully the wife will let him keep the blades and the garage.

HOLY SHIZZLE

This is insane!. Table tennis equipment is an addiction.  Maybe later he will have a museum for table tennis blades.lol

This is just as sane as a guy having collected 20 000 stamps or something, actually saner I would say..

He does have a couple of rubbers too..

I must have over 10,000 stamps, and about 20 blades, maybe 21, maybe 19, not sure. :)

That's a SICKENING sight....

True EJs will say such thing and they still continue looking, buying and trading with the hope of getting the ONE.

Does that simply mean you own them, or you have played with each one of them for at least 10 minutes?

I can understand that people (especially you, Cole, since so many blades go thru your hands) try and play a lot of blades but, really, guys - if you have N blades that means that at least N-5 of them are not being used at all anymore.

Perhaps you'd be willing to donate them to some deserving charity? Perhaps ITTF knows some village in Far East Asia where the starving kids need these blades to play their beloved game?

Kidding aside - why don't just sell them at a discount and this way many other people will have good blades? I mean it's not like they are hanging on the wall of your living room instead of De Kooning or Whistler's masterpiece?

I have 11 blades right now (way too many) - two of them are played by my son, three of them - by me. The rest are intended for gifts (three) or for quick discounted sale (another three)...

By the way, if there is someone out there who wants to give their used (but still in a decent condition) blades a second life, send a couple of them to me - I can take them on my summer trip, there is a friend of mine who runs small TT program in Very-Very Eastern Europe and he constantly asking people around if they have used blades for the kids under his tutelage.

Alas, this is not going to be tax-deductible but who knows... you can make a small kid happy "just for 29c per day" ()
