From: ShoelessWes That looks pretty fake. Conveniently and nicely off center. The turquoise background looks like it's trying too hard to look the same. And the perfectly rounded-clipped corners to jive with the razor edges. Early topps issues were cut with piano wire, so you should see the line marks from the cut, along the thickness in paper stock. Disclaimer: i dont own this card, ive only learned from the commons, articles, experience. I like pat prickett and ken morganti for 52 topps boggles, off the topp of my head.

From: Anson Whaley So he knows that it's an extremely important card, obviously understands it has value, and is still selling it for way below market value? Just for kicks, I'd ask him what other stuff he has in this supposed collection and see if you can see some of those. My guess is that it's a bunch of 1987 Topps, refractors, Shaq rookies, a few late 1970s cards, and the Mantle instead of something that would corroborate his story better like a big 50s/60s vintage collection. To me, this has scam all over it. I mean, if your grandfather just died and your grandmother could use the money, you'd try to get the best offer you could to maximize her return. No one in their right mind would take their best card and offer it well below market value on Craigslist. You'd peddle it around, try to get offers. And if you know even a little about the hobby, which he says he does, you'd get it graded. I'm no 50s expert, but I'd say that's a hard pass :) On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 9:50 PM, Rob Bessette robsbessette@yahoo.com [OBC-Ramblings] wrote: > Any chance this is real? > https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/clt/d/1952-topps-mickey- > mantle-311/6510318701.html > Texted the guy, but haven=E2=99t heard back yet. ================= Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 23:16:46 -0500 To: "obc-ramblings@yahoogroups.com" Subject: Re: [OBC-Ramblings] I know, I know...

From: Andy Huntoon I'll play. I'm in agreement with Steve Sankner with the movies being a tie between Field of Dreams and The Natural. Maybe it's a Jersey thing. :) My favorite sports books (well I only read baseball sports books) is the last one I read. Crazy '08. It's about the 1908 season and the pennant race between the Cubs and the Giants mainly. It includes a great chapter about the Merkle Boner play. If you don't know what that is you should google it. It's awesome. And it cost the Giants the pennant that year. Big moment in baseball. Anyway, I give a close second or honorable mention to the book Only The Ball Was White about the Negro Leagues. I love the history of the Negro Leagues and the great stories that come out of them over the years. The players were great and had to put up with so much crap it's unreal. But they played ball which they loved to do because they loved the game. This is a great book to get a start on looking into the Leagues if you're interested.

It's a pretty good price if truly VG. Raw T206 VG commons are typically around $30-$35 with graded ones around $45-50. Most lots have a few tougher back combos, etc. I bought a lot of 200 a few years ago and it included several tougher commons like Shag and Pelty, as well as some Polar Bear/Sovereign backs. You might have some nice surprises like that in there. Even if you don't know, that would be a really good buy if the cards are truly VG.

From: "George Vrechek" You gotta' go with "Bonzai Babe Ruth" by some guy named Rob Fitts. If you haven't read it, it is very good. The descriptions of financial situations, transportation and weather all give you an image of what it must have been like on Ruth et al's tour of Japan. It is incredible how many sports books are published each year. I think it may have something to do with Father's Day and Christmas presents for that guy in your family who is hard to shop for. An honorable mention should go to Sports Collectors Digest's annual vintage baseball card catalog. I read it frequently; I barely put it down; the ending with Zeenuts is suspenseful. True Mint is very good also but is about collecting rather than sports.

It was probably 95% hockey with half being uv hockey. Usually it's 80%-20. Of coarse my intent was to hit my new OPC/topps CFL run hard which means there was very few football there so only got five 1970's. I did get a bunchof hits to my 67 OPC baseball set but that's pretty much it for football/baseball everything else was too over priced. Did pick up about 450 70's hockey cards in a box to dip another toe in hockey end of the pool. Turns out they were all Vancouver Canucks cards so there is lots of duplication. On the positive side they were mostly OPC only a few topps. I got a pretty good deal on the box so still think it was worth it.

From: Ken M JSG,  Last year was the first time I went to Strongsville. I booked the Super 8 in Strongsville for cheap figuring i could make a short drive over to the show. Turned out it was RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the show for 1/2 of the Holiday Inn's show rate. It didn't appear to be all that booked either. You might be able to book a room directly with them and walk over.   This year I got a room in Middleburg Heights. I may call this week to see what type of room it is and maybe see if I can get one with two beds if anyone wants to split it.

The premise is simple :
What music did you last listen to?
What book are you currently reading?
What cards are on your desk?

I=E2=99ll start:

Music David Gray =E2=9C Birdsof the High Arctic =E2=9C (haunting, beautiful, soulful...I love this song!!)

Book Emotional Intelligence 2.0 (it=E2=99s almost as dull as it sounds. Assigned by work leadership to foster team development or something silly like that)

Cards a pair of T205 upgrades ( Nee and Jones to SGC50) that I was going to scan. A 63 Maris that I just popped into a RAOK envelope...surprise!

From: MARK TALBOT MIME-Version: 1.0 As I recall the last go around about collecting multiples of a favorite player or a single card fell into the "quirk" category of how we eachindividually collect cards. I for one do not put together 2nd sets thoughI fairly certain that I could easily do that. I do however HOARD cards ofmy HOM'er "Strormin' Norman Cash and my childhood hero YAZ such that I do (9) cards of each before stuff gets put into the dupe box. Interestingly enough I have many vintage YAZ and Cash cards among my dupes. I have been known to pull a Cash RC at times from my hoard to help complete a `59 Topps set when someone asks and is close enough. I know I have added to your B.Roby collection over the years and still put items to the side for you when I come across them. So I'll keep doing that. So in conclusion - collect what you want, have fun with it and just in case anyone has a spare `71 Jim Northrup card - I know who could use that card as well - just saying!!!! BE WELL!!!!

Music: When I drive the Mustang to work, I have been listening to a discography of Rush I have on a flash drive. It's been in there a couple of weeks. I have a flash drive set-up in my truck too, which I have been driving a lot lately. It's a mix and recently I remember tunes by the Hollies, John Lee Hooker, Heart, Eric Johnson, The Kinks, Golden Earring and Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. There's more but I can't remember. At home on the computer I recently listened to Greta Van Fleet. (Classic rock fans need to check these kids out.) Books: I have been reading the 3rd book of the Game of Thrones series, A Storm of Swords. Usually, I'm in the habit of reading the books before I see the movie or show. Not this time. I saw the shows up to the present and am trying to get caught up with the books. The shows were pretty awesome but like all avid book readers the books are more special. These are no exception. Cards on the Desk: Alas, there are only 5. Three of them are '66 Topps cards, Hi#'s Mike Cuellar and Bob Allen and a lower # Roger Maris that was sold as Poor but I graded as Good. Those three knocks that set down to 14. I also have a '59 Topps Sandy Koufax that was also listed as Poor but I grade as Good also. Nice. That set will go down to 2 missing when Sandy departs my desk to the binder. The last card on my desk is a Valentine's Day card from my wife. It's Charlie Brown holding a bat and telling me I'm a hit with her. Ha!

It's been in there a couple of weeks. I have a flash drive set-up in my truck too, which I have been driving a lot lately.

Usually, I'm in the habit of reading the books before I see the movie or show. Not this time. I saw the shows up to the present and am trying to get caught up with the books.

Three of them are '66 Topps cards, Hi#'s Mike Cuellar and Bob Allen and a lower # Roger Maris that was sold as Poor but I graded as Good. Those three knocks that set down to 14. I also have a '59 Topps Sandy Koufax that was also listed as Poor but I grade as Good also. Nice. That set will go down to 2 missing when Sandy departs my desk to the binder.

Lot #5- 1958 Topps Pee Wee Reese #375- Card is warped and has some skinningon Lot #6- 1957 Topps Red Schoendienst #154- Card is in nice shape.

Well, I went ahead and put together a booklet of all the images with Tom's notes right off his web images.

It is extremely helpful to have when trying to determine if you have a Green Tint or not. I sent Tom a copy as well as Matt Yudt and Wes Shepard. They all seemed to like them. I have about 10 left and would like to send them out to whoever wants one who may be working on the Green Tints or thinking about it.

I'm really glad that I powered through because Kent is really cool! I was at barely half speed and we didn't stay at the show for long. Neither of us need many Topps cards so there weren't many interesting things to look at anyway. There was the traditional OBC handshake involved...Kent handed me a stack of 1975 minis with some stars that brought back some fine memories of me as 13 year old baseball fan! Thank you Kent! After leaving the card show the adventure began . Being slowed down considerably by my illness my senses/awareness skills were dulled. Backing out of the parking place I tapped into an oversized van . Going about 2 MPH, there was little damage but a broken taillight lens on the van. The driver was cool and we settled on 30 dollars restitution for that small piece of red plastic. Inside I did buy a 1971 topps FB Csonka so I guess I spent 33 dollars at the show (DOH!) Next I misremembered going to a pub down the road from that show that had excellent burgers. It was several years ago and I really don't travel to Portland that much, preferring my peaceful Washington side of the river. I drove far too far looking for the place before deciding to turn around . Kent spotted an Italian restaurant that looked good. It *was* really good and offered both of us a second meal due to the large portions. My misguided tour of NE Portland at least extended our visit , which is always the best part of OBC. Despite my ill health, I'm glad I got to meet Kent. Once I got home yesterday I have been horizontal the entire time trying to get better. But I am greatly appreciative of Kent making the time to meet up.

Prior to that timeframe there was a regional premium assigned to popular players (Mays cards in San Francisco, Kaline cards in Detroit,etc). I was selling current year sets as far back as '74 and there wasn't the same type of excitement for modern rookies at that time. During that era there was a modest premium for first year cards (I remember '54 Aarons in the $8-12 range as he was one of my favorite players in the 70's). This was an era before Beckett (first Beckett surveys were in '77, first 'annual' in '79) and shows were more influential at establishing prices, againfactoring in regional demand. In '75, the Lynn and Rice were more popular than Yount and Brett as I recall, and the highest demand was Aaron 660.

From: "George Vrechek" I saw my name mentioned and figured I needed to throw in my 2 cents. SCD included a price guide in their magazine for a time. I had forgotten when it all started. Per my back copies it looks like it was late 1984 before they included the feature in the magazine. They dropped it after 10 years I would guess. Therefore anything before that in SCD would just be based on prices of advertisers. In the early 1980s SCD would comment on the Beckett Guide when it came out. I wrote an article that is on our library page at : http://www.oldbaseball.com/refs/Card_Price_Index.pdf The article attempted to develop an index based on the values of common sets over the years. I didn't address rookie cards per se. My numbers don't start until 1981 because I felt it would be impossible to compare apples before the Beckett Guide came out. I think comparing price lists from Bruce Yeko, Sports Collectors Store or the Card Collectors Company in the 1970s would help quantify your recollection that rookie card prices took off gradually during the 1970s. The late collector Bob Solon told me that Yeko "started pricing star cards at a premium in the 1960s and the hobby has never been the same since."

From: "George Vrechek" I forgot to mention The Trader Speaks magazine had some superstar card prices in their issues but they didn't start until early 1980 per the copies I have.

I'm sorry it took such an effort. Somehow I didn't see this message back in January. I am certainly willing to allow your contact date to be to back-dated to January 1st. The way I read the guidelines, it states I need to contact OBC within three years of your contact to remain on the Inactive List. That almost sounds like an abuse of time, but I would like to remain I have kicked around the idea, a LOT, about rejoining, especially after Mike Rich and I attended a Rockies game here in Denver last summer while Mike was on his ''stadium tour.'' I had a lot of fun, and it reminded me how much I miss being in the group. However, I haven't been working enough to have the funds to collect any cards, so I keep holding out, waiting for that decent employment to get back into the game. I have had some good employment prospects recently, but I also have some health issues holding things back, so life has been exceptionally tight (...and frequently difficult and disappointing, as well.)

I still remember among my pick ups that day was some Kahns FB, a set of Colorado Rockies Kahns, which I had never seen before,and a 1951 Topps Team card.

I'm sorry it took such an effort. Somehow I didn't see this message back in January. I am certainly willing to allow your contact date to be to back-dated to January 1st. The way I read the guidelines, it states I need to contact OBC within three years of your contact to remain on the Inactive List. That almost sounds like an abuse of time, but I would like to remain I have kicked around the idea, a LOT, about rejoining, especially after Mike Rich and I attended a Rockies game here in Denver last summer while Mike was on his ''stadium tour.'' I had a lot of fun, and it reminded me how much I miss being in the group. However, I haven't been working enough to have the funds to collect any cards, so I keep holding out, waiting for that decent employment to get back into the game. I have had some good employment prospects recently, but I also have some health issues holding things back, so life has been exceptionally tight (...and frequently difficult and disappointing, as well.)

It was different for me this time. I always bring 3 or 4 empty boxes in my bookbag because I normally buy cards in bulk when I can but I decided on a different strategy this time so the boxes were all empty when I got done. I was determined to stick to a plan and look for cards for my short list sets. And for the most part I succeeded in my goal. Goal #1. Find 71 clemente card in decent shape for my price point. Done. 71 topps set finished! Goal #2. Find Schmidt RC. Failed miserably. Found none that weren't graded. Hopefully at Strongsville in April. Goal #3. Find at least one of the three remaining hi #cards for my 66 set. Success. Found grant Jackson at a great price! Goal #4. 60 and 66 topps football. Success. 68 now at 1 card. 60 cut in half at 3. Also picked up a couple three of the bigger named stars from 55 topps for 6bucks per and 4 of the remaining world of wheels cards. Could of done more to some of my football sets but my primary focus monetarily was to look for the shorter baseball and football lists. Oh. I also picked off a couple of 61 hi's for 5 each thanks to Ron's birddogging. Long day but much needed fun. Good conversation. Looking forward to Strongsville I'm April.

I saw John Dahms and Ron Perry on Saturday and said hello. Also OBCer Matt Meister had a table and had plenty of exhibit cards. The typical Chicago show OBC guys were there including Kevin Savage, Bob McLean, Jack Kerkes, JD Heckathorn, William Chappel, Ron Estes, and Uncle Dick DeCourcy. Stan Loch was a new face for me. I bought something from most of those guys. Probably 40% of the show space was dedicated to autographs. Some of that is a result of the entire first floor space being about 1/3rd more than needed. The ever-changing promoter has to take it all or go to a much smaller space in the convention center. The first wave of attendees got $5 gift cards to use at any dealer's table. Uncle Dick had a box of 1,100 decent OPC hockey cards that he wanted $200 for. However about 1/3rd of the cards were from early 80s and the rest were all mid to late 70s commons with some duplicates. Dick didn't want to divide them up so I took a pass. In the event anyone else is interested, contact Dick. JD Heckathorn had a 1955 Topps AA Don Hutson (set killer) for $25 or so but it was in really tough shape and I took another pass. Matt Meister had an Eddie Mathews with the right length of "Printed in USA" in the corner, which knocked off one more of my obscure exhibit variations. Variation friend Larry Leonard also made the show, but we were ships passing in the night. Show admission is $10 and parking at CTA is up to $7 but still a lot cheaper than at the convention center. Of the 300? dealer tables maybe 1/6th related to the autograph supplies, 1/6th were photos and art, 1/3rd UV and 1/3rd vintage. Jack Kerkes said the show was good for business and much better than the last November show. Well worth the trip for me, but I only live 15 miles away.

Eddie Lebaron from 1961 Fleer Football, leaving 89 Jim Taylor to complete the set. 3. George Herring from 1962 Fleer Football, leaving 86 Ernie Ladd to complete the set. 4. Numerous commons hits to 1950 and 1952 Bowman Football including anice stack of OBC condition dupes from these years. 5. Seven hits to 1940 Playball including Greenberg, Hubbell and Wee Willie Keeler. 6. Two more hits, Russell and Hassett from the Salutation Exhibit set. 7. A bunch of miscellaneous including Red Mans, 49 Leaf Baseball and even Laval Dairy QHL from Bob McLean.

The Get Together for the Strongsville show starts on Saturday night after the show, and I will have pizza and chips and drinks and whatever wings Mike Rich chooses to leave for the rest of us. It will probably serve as a "mini-swap," since any OBC gathering tends to center around the cards, but do NOT feel obligated to bring anything. You need not bring any refreshments, or cards, this is for the camaraderie, as I love to show my basement off, and it's always better when the people who see it, can appreciate and enjoy the cards. We had about six inches of snow the first year that we did this, and we STILL had parking and food for all, I'm sure that I will be able to accommodate everyone. I'm NOT expecting snow this I live about 40 minutes from the show itself, and there are a number of perfectly acceptable routes to get to my house depending on the traffic, but the address is 9615 Simsbury Ct.

From: "Thomas W. Billing" Here it is on me. 1. I was born in Orange, NJ and my wife is named Marty (and she tolerates my addiction nicely). 2. Obviously I am mentioned as a musician (another addiction) and play trombone and flute in jazz combos as well as big bands. I also play musicals on occasion. I teach private brass lessons even Monday night at the local music store here in Springfield, OH. My favorite experience in playing was in 2014 when a band from the Omaha area hired me to play a one week Alaskancruise. My second favorite musical experience was meeting Otto Graham at his son=E2=99s wedding reception MANY years ago in Eaton, OH. I recognized him but had to ask someone who he was. Maybe John Barleycorn helped that altered memorabilities. I graduated from Sidney )Ohio) High school and Ohio Northern University. My favorite team is a toughie since there are a few. I like Ohio State, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Browns, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Cleveland Cavaliers. My favorite player wasJim Brown. My favorite set is the 1953 Bowman Color set. The oldest completed would probably have been the 1957 Topps baseball set in 1957. It is my second favorite set and I admit liking it so much that I have four complete sets, the last couple of which are =E2=9Ctoppsaholic=E2=9D. The oldest complete set is a tie between the 1948 Bowman baseball and the Hall Of Fame Exhibit cards. I have the 1948 Bowman football set but it was later in the year.

From: Ken M From the back of my baseball card...Kenneth James Morganti Born: 9/27/66 in Malden, MA Height: 6' 0" Weight: 200 lbs. Home: Everett, MA (Divorced) Throws: left Bats: bothTwo kids: Dominic turns 9 in June, Kyleigh turns 7 in AprilGraduated from Pope John XXIII HS in 1984Attended Boston University for 3 semesters, but decided to go full time at work in 1986. Started at Heartland supermarket (Malden) the day before my 17th birthday (1983) and have been with that company (under different names and in many locations) ever since. Currently the frozen food manager in the Reading (Stop&Shop) store. Of those 35 years, 27 were on the overnight shift.  I started collecting in 1977. First set finished was either 1977-78 Topps hockey or 1977 Topps football, as I didn't quite finish the baseball set until a year later by purchasing the Braves team card at a Rochester, NH mall show for a quarter. Now that I think of it, the hockey set was first, because I had to buy out the 1976 football cards before he brought in a box of the 'new' cards.  The first vintage players I ever collected were Hank Aaron and Harmon Killebrew.   On my first ever trip to a card shop, I purchased three vintage cards: a 1960 Banks, a 1966 Killebrew and a 1968 Aaron.   Oldest set I have is T205 (1911), but it is my first, last, and only foray into prewar collecting.  I grew up following the Boston sports teams. Favorite players from each team would probably be Jim Rice, Larry Bird, Rick Middleton and Stanley Morgan.  I have also collected stamps, coins and even bottle caps.  I still enjoy playing softball and basketball and used to be in a candlepin bowling league for many years. I once rolled a 96 without getting a spare or a strike (which is probably about as weird a combination of good and bad luck/skill and ineptness as you're likely to find). I still have the score sheet.  I scored a 1320 on my SAT, the highest in my graduating class of 230 students.  I never learned how to type. I continue to use the two finger hunt and peck method to this day... Actually, it's only one finger pecking on this phone.   My father, grandfather and cousin were all named John Morganti.  I have lived at the same address every day of my 51 years of life. I bought the house from my parents after my Dad retired and moved to NH.  My birthday 9/27/66 is the same day as my parents' wedding anniversary 9/27/64.  I have never been to the baseball HOF... Or any of them for that matter, except football, which I've been to twice.  The only item on my bucket list is to visit Hawaii... At least that's the only thing I think is important enough to put on a bucket list right now. That will probably change as I get older.  I have been outside the USA exactly three times: the Bahamas (once) and Spain (twice), but never to Canada, which is the closest foreign country to where I live.  I have a younger brother Andrew and a younger sister Lorrie.   That's probably more th an enough for Tom's project... and definitely more than anyone wanted to know about me :-) TAYL, Ken M Sent from my not so smart phone. ------ Original message------From: Tom HousleyDate: Fri, Mar 30, 2018 11:03 AMTo: OBC-Ramblings@yahoogroups.com;ddejong17@gmail.com;jola.media@gmail.com;jd3681@yahoo.com;billingtw@sbcglobal.net;daveluciano@me.com;jimivintage@yahoo.com;drsam9795@gmail.com;jehutch75@gmail.com;bucknutt2008@gmail.com;wwesmyster2@aol.com;cardclctor@aol.com;jedward@aol.com;mikesportsfan@aol.com;obcron@yahoo.com;meyergray@msn.com;talbot1@comcast.net;Cc: Subject:Strongsville attendees - help needed!

From: David Luciano Hi Tom, This was fun reminiscing. Hi Tom, This was fun reminiscing. David Luciano, Born 4 11 1960 in Cleveland Ohio In advertising for 38 years. Wide Format printing, my wife sells trade showdisplays, lobbies, POP and truck and trailer wraps. I was a early OBC member back in the day, mid 90=92s. Celebrated 30 years of marriage to my wife Christine. My daughter Nicole, 21, son Giovanni, 17. I am happy to come back to the hobby. I haven=92t collected/ traded since she was born. Strongsville will be our 1st show in about 20 years. Boxed Golden Gloves out of Little Italy in Cleveland. Highlight was fighting at Cleveland Public Auditorium. Lead off double off of Rick Minor (was in the trade for Ron Leflore and DanShadzader) in Fort Myers Fl. Twins stadium. My next at bat he made me looksilly with the nasties curve I ever saw. If we won that game we would havefaced Dante Bichette and Brett Saberhagen=92s team. I think it was more fun having a beer watching the semi finals than getting throttled in it. Homered on my dads birthday and a fathers day. He passed 23 years ago. Korean war vet. Great dad. Watching my kids play ball and son in the 8th grade wrestling state finals and lettering as a freshman. My daughter going deep and hopping up between short and third like the Red Sox Dave Henderson in the 86 al champ game. There have been some great moments My Favorite sets, 1913 T200 Fatima team cards, You get all the players and they are more likephotographs than cards. 1951 Bowman, The art is fantastic and just edges out the 1953 Topps becauseI finished the bowman=92s first. 1972 Topps, I know it doesn=92t make sense after the previous but it was myfirst set I finished from collecting as a kid and I love the in actions and subsets. Peter Max 70=92s Art. My wife=92s favorite set I completed,1935 Goudey heads up. Coolest collecting story, Christie Was a Ford model and did a Bob Hope special with Elle Macpherson as a swimsuit model. I Asked her to get an autograph for us. I just so happened to have the Sports Illustrated issue from the 60=92s with Bob Hope wearing a Indians hat on the cover and an MLB ball. In between sets she went tohis trailer and they were very protective of letting people get near him. So his daughter said yes wait here and I will get it autographed for you. After a little while the door opens up and it=92s Bob Hope beaming that someone knows about part owner, the team and the magazine. He invites her in with all the other people makeup etc. Talks for a while and Gives her both things autoed and then a group shot and autographed that also. Great Guy. Favorite teams Indians now but in the 70=92s I loved the big red machine. (I still pull for the Reds. My dream WS is Tribe Reds with the Tribe winning in 7 wearing chief wahoo on there hats) , I wore 14 (Pete Rose) in Lake county class A and over 28 and 38 baseball for 20+ years. Then changed my number to 30 for my daughter=92s birthday and then 15 for my sons. Game used bats I collected Pete Rose game used bats back in the day. I had all of them except the bicentennial until he started using Mizuno=92s. It just wasn=92t as American as a H&B or red ring Adirondaks. Two dumbest collecting mistakes I made. 1. not going to Detroit with a buddy to buy a 52 topps Mantle. Why would I fork over about $3,000.00 when I had a near mint 51 bowman Mantle=85 2. I met a guy that was selling his complete sets. I weighed my options andpurchased 7 near mint complete sets from the late 60=92s to early 70=92s. Why would you want 7 complete sets instead of a ex - near mint 1953 set=85. The most important thing is living the life right that Jesus taught us and all the glory to God. Knowing all my blessing are from God and I own nothing =93I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun - not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.=94 =97 C.S. Lewis #GoodFriday May you all be blessed.
