Awesome cards, Guru - thanks so much! Second and most importantly, I want to express my deep appreciation for the phone calls and emails from around the OBC world offering encouragement, prayer and offers of help for my son and our family as we come to grips with recent events. I had some extremely uplifting conversations with a few of the guys (and in one case his wife), and one member even put me in touch with a friend of his who has extensive experience within his own family. I've learned a lot to this point, not least of which is that I don't have to walk this road alone. The past couple of weeks have been painful... and frustrating... and maddening... and sometimes even encouraging. The road ahead is going to be difficult, but at least I am seeing some hope. ================= Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2013 08:36:06 -0700 (PDT) To: OBC Thanks From: Thomas Elliott Subject: Ed Schott sends some '65s and a '63 Eight '65s, including a Jim Bouton and Pedro Ramos and a '63 Phil Ortega arrive in my mailbox from Ed Schott.

The best 17 seconds in hockey left the Bruins in shock, Chicago in ecstasy, and me with an OBC package. Jakenoticed I don't collect hockey cards, but asked if that would suffice...certainly, since I could see my old-time favorites and show them to my 11-yr old who loves Bryan Bickell (if anybody has a Bickell card they don't want...send it! We've been buying the occasional pack and can't hit the mark). The package arrived today and featured my All-Time favorite Hawk, who's jersey I wear to every game...Al Secord! As you are probably not aware, Secord flies for American Airlines now...I'd love to see him drop the gloves on an unruly passenger. The stack also included favs like Troy Murray, Keith Magnuson, Tom Lysiak, Doug Wilson, Tony Esposito, and Stan Mikita. Great cards, Jake...really rattled the old memory bank!

Brian Betza sends a DCP of footballers: a 1955 Topps All American - thus moving that set from a type-card to an oh-boy-I-have-2-so-I'm now collecting-the-set, and also a 1955 Bowman football card. Brian's intent was to turn that from a type-card to an oh-boy... (well, you get the picture), but actually this is card number seven for me (thanks to an un-updated wantlist). Now I have some more targets to hunt for in Chicago! Thanks for the hits, Brian! Big thanks to JOHN DAHMS, who pulls his 1954 Topps Hank Bauer card & sends it to me - thus getting my set down to just 6 cards to go (no-names like Aaron, Banks, Robinson, Williams, Kaline & Lasorda). John, thanks very much!

These three cards take me up to a total of 32 out of 200 - and also represent a 10% addition to this set. Perhaps when I turn 80 or so I will be close to 50%...

I just love getting oddballs! Mark includes 3 1977 Hostess, 2 1965 Topps of the Embossed variety, 1 1962 Post, and a 1970 Topps Reggie Jackson AS! What a wonderful group Mark!! Thank you so much man. Then TOM ELLIOTT knocks me over with a box full of 156 1974 Topps!!! Wow Tom, Thank you so much! The box included such greats as Catfish Hunter, Rollie Fingers and Brooks Robinson. Tom included a couple MN Twins pocket skeds as well as a St. Paul Saints sked. Very cool Tom. Lastly, when I got home this evening there was an envelope from JOE ADRIANCE with a note thanking me for killing his 1974 set recently. I really wasn't expecting anything in return for that Joe, but thank you very much anyway!! Joes sent over 9 hits including 2 1977 Topps (Lou Brock and Brooks Robinson!!!), 3 1974 Topps, 2 1972 Topps, 1 1973 Topps and 1 1978 Topps. Super hits Joe, I'm looking forward to putting these all alongside their brothers this weekend. OBC is just so awesome. You guys are truly a special group. I can't wait to make it to a National in the future and meet some of you in person at a swap session for my first time. Maybe when it comes to Atlantic City in my home state of NJ. Thanks a lot to everyone and best regards as well.

The enclosed note refers to the swap session at the LAST National. A piece of history this is! Thanks Mike for three great cards! -Dave Fallen ================= Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 23:48:31 -0700 To: OBC-Thanks From: David Fallen Subject: Thanks for cards and OBC-Style Thoughtfulness James Moleta sends three cards, arriving today: 1963 Post Steve Bilko - he had a great PCL career. 1961 Post Dick Stuart From my other Thanks post you will see I also got a 1961 Post and a 1963 Post from Mike Rich (originally mailed nearly a year ago). What are the odds of both pairs arriving on the same day? I especially want to thank James for a 1952 Topps of Edward James Blake. A very nice note from James explains that this card was intended to be a creative hit to my 1944 collection. The back of his card alludes to his being wounded in combat in the Phillipines (misspelled that way on the card). Turns out he enlisted in the Army in 1944, for one tie-in to my collection, and the card is #144 for another tie-in. The card AND the note are going into my 1944 collection. I really appreciate James going out of his way to make a special hit. Part of what makes OBC so great! -Dave Fallen ================= To: "obc" Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2013 07:35:38 -0500 From: "ken goetsch" Subject: Thanks to Mark Talbot Huge thanks to Mark Talbot, for a wonderful vintage football package filledwith goodies.......arriving in Wisconsin was a group of 77' Holsum bread Packers, 3-from 64' Topps, 3-from 65' Topps,dcp's from both 66' and 67' Topps, and a dcp from 61' Topps, and my first 6 cards from 60' Topps, and and dcp from 70' Topps Supers.. and a dcp from 72' including the "juice".........and a couple of other years......wowwwww..thanks so very much, Mark.

I need to google the players to precisely date them. The U of O issued about five or sixcard sets between 1954 and 1966 of the football players. I don't think there are true complete checklists.

OK, last minute change of plans for me at the National. My better half willnot be able to go and I'm looking to split/share a room. I have one reserved for the entire duration (Wed checking, Sun checkout), but it is a singlequeen size bed, and not sure if I can change that. If anyone has extra room space, or is looking for a place still to share/split, let me know ASAP. I know it's "last minute", but as I've just proven, things change so who knows. I still plan on heading out in the AM (driving), so you can either email me tonight or call my cell anytime (919-423-5190). ================= Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:33:34 -0700 (PDT) To: OBC Thanks From: Glenn Codere Subject: Thanks from Glasgow My return to work after a 2 week vacation was somewhat tempered by the presence of a pair of envelopes from OBCers. Envelope #1 came from Bob Donaldson who knocks 21 cards off the 1971/72 OPCHockey list, and a single from the 1970/71 list (Serge Savard). The OPC lists have progressed slowly over the years and its great that they're seeingsome Envelope #2 was the result of an ebay auction win from "Late Innings" (aka Spike Glidden) - a 1969 Topps Super Denny McLain, the last of the 3 Tigers I needed from that set. Problem is ol' Denny is cuccooned in PSA plastic sohe can't take his rightful place in the binder alongside messrs Freehan and Horton. Guess he'll have to spend time up on the shelf alongside my other3 entombed cards. Thanks to both Bob and Spike!!

Received two very interesting and diverse packages this week! MARK TALBOT - Kills my 1976 Topps Traded set with the last 5 hits!! Also sends a worn out 1967 Joel Horlen and a held together by tape 1961 Topps Tigers Team. Talbot also hits my TCMA Dodgers set with 2 hits! And finally he sends 2 1979 Topps Burger King Yankees! JAMES MOLETA - Sends a very fun package of low grade hits! 11 hits to my 60's sets, including a 1968 Don Pavletich homemade "traded" card that is going right into the beater league. 10 hits from 70 - 73 Topps. A whopping 17 hits to my dwindling 1974 Topps list. 15 1975 Topps cards, 3 of which will be going straight to the beater league since they were obviously run through the wash a few times. 3 1976 topps hits, including Bob Boone. Finally James sent something I have always coveted since I was a kid. I know a lot of you have a bunch of these, but James sent me my first 1952 Topps card. And even as a baseball nerd, I have never heard of Dick Kryhoski, but now his name will be ingrained in my mind forever. And the best part is knowing that if I even attempted to take this card out of the plastic holder,it would crumble to pieces!

These get me to just over 1/3 of the set (61 of 182 panels). I am hoping to find some more of these at the National.

This reduces what I would call common T-206s to under 100 to go. Still need 180 to finish the monster. Very rare to get 5 of these at once for me.
