And that would only really matter if anyone actually lived on them, no? (2 islands w/0 pop)

I'm sure it doesn't bother the wildlife all that much....

Once you get it down it is kind of fun
Most folks never get it down
You will trip up them and get hung
Or you will fall down them, no hanging cause your neck is broken already
Contrary to popular myth we hung witches, no burning, sink or float myth is up for debate
Watch your step!

Haha.... that IS early! Now I see what lead to his groundbreaking discovery of nailing that sucka to a wall...!

From wiki:

"In December 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian professor of physical education and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts,[4] was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day.[5] He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he invented a new game in which players would pass a ball to teammates and try to score points by tossing the ball into a basket mounted on a wall."

Card worth anything or nah?

According to this site :

1990 Hoops #205 Mark Jackson​

Estimated PSA 10 Value: $150

Mark Jackson was one of the best point guards ever to play the game but you may be surprised to find him at the top of this list.

The reason this card has garnered so much attention and such a hefty price tag has nothing to do with Jackson himself and everything to do with who is seated courtside to his left: the infamous Menendez brothers.

Sometime between August 20, 1989, when they murdered their parents in Beverly Hills, CA and their arrest on March 8, 1990, Lyle and Erik Menendez attended this game at Madison Square Garden in which this image of Jackson was snapped.

Pricing on this card has cooled a bit since this story first came to light but others in PSA 10 condition have previously sold for hundreds of dollars.

And it's not the only card in this set whose value is driven by someone else appearing on it other than the featured player...
