I am Sam Taylor, and I guess I'm the new kid on the block. You guys sound like a lot of fun, and I have met some of you already. Unfortunately it has taken me a while to get access to the "yahoo groups" so I haven't had the opportunity to thank everyone properly. I also doubly apologize for not being more specific on some of these, but Iseem to have lost my list of who sent what. I have a very tough wantlist, but I see that didn't deter many of you. Mar Talbot was the first to send a ROAK, when he met me at the National in Chicago with a stack of Tigers schedules, and cards - my favorite of which is a 2005 #1 Mark Talbot autographed card. Thanks for breaking the ice. Tom Housley also chipped in with a 1959 Billy Pierce AS that he just "dropped off" at the booth I was helping with at the National. That's when I started to think that this is a good group of guys that I'd like to join. Besides, they had those cool baseball caps. When I got home from National I was surprised by two 1955 Bowmans from Lynn Miller. What a surprise THAT was, my wife even asked who this "Lynn" was in Nevada - and how did I know her? Well, I explained about the group, and told her that Lynn was a guy, and the OBC was on... Larry Tipton chipped in with 4 '55 Bowmans including an UMP, well, actuallyit was Tom UMPhlett, but I'm still calling it an UMP card. Oh, and he signed the note "Guru". So I guess that's how I should refer to him. Wondered if that was a hazing thing by the Rush Chairman? Peter Mead sent some 1964 Topps coins, to close out a set. Then just today I pulled a three pack from Richard Dingman, including two more '55 Bowmans and a '69 OPeeChee ex-Tiger, Ray Oyler. To top it off I also had Tom Valacak throw two more '55 Bowmans. I think that was it, but if I have forgotten someone, PLEASE remind me, andonce again, THANKS to OBC. Sam Taylor ================= Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 17:40:02 -0700 (PDT) To: OBC Thanks From: Lynn Miller Subject: Thanks to Richard D For a stack of old non-sports military cards.

He sends a 1950 Bowman Duke Snider and a 1951 Bowman as well. Fortunately the reverse of the Snider card is fully intact, otherwise identification would be very tricky, as virtually all of the obverse is gone. But, as they say, any card is better than a hole in the binder, even if it is essentially blank, and I am wholly on board with that! My 1950 Bowman set is actually looking like it may be completable, since I recently got the Robinson and Williams cards for around 5.5% and 6.5%, and they were the toughest cards left on my list. Now the toughest ones left are Feller, Berra and Campy... So thanks, Jason and Spike!
