You know what they say about too many cooks and how they may mess up the broth...but fortunately our cards don't have to come in conact with any broth (though some OBCers' collections might have a few cards that will prove me wrong). Also, there are only two Cooks in OBC. One is actually a chef, but the other is ANDY COOK who sends along five hits to one of my favorite sets, the 1958 Topps! Three of the five hits are from the low # series, one of them is the Dale Long card shown in "The Book." The only thing is...Andy warned me in the waiver wire that the cards might be closer to OBC-quality, but there isn't a bent corner, crease or missing chad of paper to be found here! Just a couple of print lines. They are going to look really nice in my "Dog Pound" set but suppose I'll just have to get over it These cards get me down to 157 to go on the '58 set...I may be getting closer to believing it can be finished...

Okay, so that's my lame attempt at an eye-catching headline. So sue me! About two weeks ago, LINDA FITAK *attacked *my mailbox with a nice 1951 Topps Blue Back. When I posted my thanks, MIKE RICH e-mailed me asking if I might be willing to trade that same card to him. Since he only needs just a few cards to complete the set and I need many, I said 'sure' in true OBC fashion. So off went the card in a quick turnaround to Mike. Today, Ed *Schott* shoots me with an unexpected delivery of nine hits to my OBC-only sets. Then next, an envelope comes from Mike where he rewards me many times over for the blue back. In addition to another '51 Blue Back, Mike en-*rich*ens the envelope with several tough cards from the '67-68 Topps/OPC hockey set and three 1969 Topps baseball stamp albums. Oh, and did I mention the SP card from the 1962 Canadian Post set... my first type card from that set. So see I'm RICH! So to recap... Attacked by Linda, Shot by Schott, but made Rich by Mike.

Mac also adds a few GWRC's for another card on my DS list. THANKS MAC!! On Monday, Bob Donaldson chimed in with a SCP hit to my 1955 Bowman variation list.

The card Bob sent was actually a hit to my 1955 RED MAN set, not the Bowman set, which I finished (along with the half dozen or so variations) a long time ago. I will plead guilty to TUI (typing under the influence) on my last thank you note.

But Steve was not finished, he also brings my 1971 set down to one by sending another very tough card, # 709 (Baker/Paciorek/Baylor RC) and the 1969 set to under 10 by sending another great card, # 50 Hall-of-famer Roberto Clemente.

Andy sent a half dozen cards for my favorite vintage set, which leaves only 160 to go. Unfortunately my wantlist won't reflect these latest hits. The last time I attempted to update my list it disappeared when I accidentally hit cut instead of copy. Since neither I or my webtv is as smart as a computer my 72 and 58 lists remain disappeared. I don't have a clue as to why my Webpage still shows the list despite the fact that they are gone from the pagebuilder? So until I get time to re-enter my lists, they will be inaccurate.

Was able to mix a little pleasure with business, highlighted by a get together with the Fitaks', Tim & Linda. Unfortunately I did not get to their house until 9:30 pm, and Linda had an early meeting, so she crashed around 11. Spent more time with Tim showing me some of Linda's hidden gems. She has a number of cards that her wantlsit does not reflect and I was quite impressed with the condition of some prewar and regional issue HOFers. It made me feel at home in that cards were everywhere and not in any order I could figure out. For those that have been to my house, there are similarities, but primarily confined to BB. Linda/Tim gave me a welcome package, of course. Included was a 77 Twonkie, a 70 Washington Senators Police card (like anyone else has those on their wantlists) an 80 Laughlin 300/400/500 of Killebrew (getting close to 1/2 way on that set), some UV hits and my 2nd (both from Linda) BSKB HOF Bookmark, so another set moves from type set to collecting it. When I got home at 2:30 in the morning, there was a few days of mail waiting for me. Andy Cook sent along a couple of items, including a 62 Topps BB Buck (I am just over 1/2 done) and a 1936 World Wide Gum Hockey card (I have 4 of 136). Bob Neill replied to my begging with sending me 2 of the last 5 1963 Salada Bb Coins (down to Aaron mantle & Maris); the last card in the 1955 Topps Doubleheaders set as I close in on 3/4 done and 5 1970 Tyco Super Ball Yankees. Even though I gave out some samples of these at the National in Chicago a couple of years ago, I think Bob and I are the only 2 collecting this set of 288. Over the years I think Bob has contributed about 1/2 of the 100 Super Balls I have. Bob, I still owe you the return package. My apologies to Erik Greenwood and Peter Iversen who I thought I could meet up with in California, but time got away from me. If this business trip went as well as I think it did, I hope/expect I will get to return at least annually to see this client. So hopefully next time.

Thanks are heartily extended to TJ VALACAK for 5 1973/1974 Topps basketball (my nominee for the set with the hardest-to-read-numbers on the back), pushing that set to under 100 to go, and also a real nosebleeder from the 1964 Topps set - in fact, the highest number I needed, Jimmy Piersall. Thanks for the great hits, T.J.! More thanks go out to our house chef, ANTHONY ARBEENY, for a swap which netted my most-wanted 1965 Topps - the Tony Perez RC (also the4 highest number I needed from that set), and also a mid-series 1957 Topps as well (the immortal Ned Garver). The post office darn near killed these - the envelope was so mangled they had to put it in one of their clear see-through bags - but thankfully Ant had them well-protected, so no damage was inflicted. GREAT cards, Ant - thanks!

Hello All, I have no excuse for the lateness of these acknowledgments other than being busy beyond belief. When school let out I believed my schedule would become lighter but the opposite has been the reality and I hope that I will be able to complete some of the mounting "honey do" items and school reports in the coming days to once again get some packages together for distribution. Nonetheless it's high time for me to salute the following: With one of the first responses Bob Bannon takes aim at my newly listed TIGER QUEST and delivers (7) splendid additions with (3) `55 Bowman's (Belardi, Marlowe & King), a `60 Topps card of the Yankee Killer Frank Lary and (3) `62 Woodies (Fernandez, Brown & Osborne). What a great offering to this newly organized addition to my collection, I look forward to the day I can send some of the extra Red-leg cards you might add to a "Reds Run" - Thanks Bob!!! Quick to the dupe box is Brian Betza who finds (4) hits to the TIGER QUEST with a couple from `56 (Al Aber & Bill Tuttle) and a few from `62 (Don Wert and hero Norm Cash). Brian writes that he's glad he's not crazy enough to add his favorite team to his list, that's all I have to say is "only time will tell my friend, you may be crazier than you think". Thanks for finding these for me Brian. Peter Mead sends another installment in "the never-ending trade" that has been on-going for some 6 or 7 years now with (5) TIGER cards with a `68 Topps game card of Bill Freehan, a `69 Topps decal of Denny McLain, (2) `69 Topps cards with John Hiller and the Cain/Campbell RC and a `70 Topps card of Fred Lasher. It looks like time for some Columbia bound cardboard Peter - Thanks again!!! T.J. Valacek finds "easy picking" of my newly listed TIGER QUEST and connects with (7) solid Topps hits; with (2) from `59 (Davie & Maxwell), (2) from `60 (Bolling & Burnside), Frank Lary from `61, Howie Koplitz from `62 and Frank Lary again from `63. T.J. also includes an unusual calendar page featuring TIGER hero Al Kaline - nice touch T.J. From across the pond, Geno Wagner makes a play at some "odd-ball" issues with a "Power for Peace" card, a Renata Galasso card of Casey Stengal, (2) `81 Fleer variations and an unusual card featuring a images from a marketing poster for the little known 1927 film Slide, Kelly, Slide. So as you can see I have plenty to be thankful for and I only hope you will all forgive me for the tardiness of my response to these fine traders. thanks to all for making this hobby so much FUN - BE WELL!!!

Long story, but I've taken a couple of months off from cards in general, and as a result, from OBC activity. My wantlist hasn't been updated since April, but I hope to get to that this weekend maybe.

There are a couple of packages that have come "recently," which I really should note. Sorry for the late thanks. Here we go: First, the classic FITAK pack with a lot of special stuff. Highlights included a 1953 Topps John Logan Boston Braves card and an UNOPENED pack of M*A*S*H cards. Really cool, Linda. Thanks for thinking of me. And second, GERSH sent a six-pack of 1979 O-Pee-Chee cards. It's sets like this that make me wish I had more time and resources right now. Thank you very much, Larry. Okay, one more thing. Congratulations, Frank Thomas. Welcome to the 500 home run club. And hey, you might want to make room for the three guys who are just a few weeks behind you...
