Nice hits - the greenie variations look great in the binder right next to the non-green. Anyway, a few days ago I get a call from an Ohio area code at work - couldn't answer it, but when I listened to the message - and it was Wes asking about my list - I couldn't wait to get home and call him back! Well he has a special card for me. Turns out he has two. The first one, perhaps the most significant hit since joining obc 3 years ago, kills not just the 1970 list, but the ENTIRE DECADE of 1970's topps run!!! That's right - cross off my #1 most wanted card, #712 Nolan Ryan. We chatted a little longer and he throws in a 2nd card. Another top 10 killler - 1969 Reggie Jackson rookie card! Higher BV then the Ryan. Unbelievable. I look forward to hitting that list of yours back in kind, Wes! Thanks a ton.

Kuenn would be a crucial cog in the 1962 SF Giants pennant winning season! Nice card Guru ... many thanks!! And Shawn sends me a 61T Ed Hobaugh and a 77T Giant Johnnie LeMaster. Lemaster hit a inside-the-park HR in his first MLB AB ... against the Dodgers of course :-) Shawn also sends me some unmentionables (on this thanks server). Many thanks Shawn for these great cards!!

My life has been in a bit of a downward spiral for a little while now and most of my interests have been neglected during this time. Cards being one of them. A couple weeks ago I received cards from two greatOBCers and I hadn't even recorded them in my book. Well, I have finally done so and would like to offer both my apologies for the delay and my sincere TOM ELLIOTT sent me a wonderful package of 29 hits all to the 1970 Topps set. Thank you so much Tom. I really appreciate the help and thanks for thinking of me. SHAWN SMART sent me a great package of 12 hits also. A 1969 Topps, a 1970 Topps, 7 1971 Topps, 2 1972 Topps and a 1974 Topps. These are great Shawn,thank you so much. Now that I have finally gone through these cards and handled them and recorded them in my book it has reminded me how much these little pieces of cardboard mean to me and the joy I get out collecting them. Thank you for sending these to me and helping me remember this. You guys all rock! Andy Huntoon OBC RULES!!!

Last month I picked up a small lot of T206 which included an example of Becker (Boston NL). I already had one of these, so normally I would send it out. But this Becker had the Sweet Caporal back, different than the Piedmont back I already had, so I kept them both!

It would normally take 3 hours to drive here from my home in SW WA, but todays late start and traffic made it a 5 hour trip....its only about 200 miles but Fridays mean sharing the road with another million friends. But as I finally got here in Arlington, it was right at dinner time. Mae Phim Thai restaurant has become one of my favorites...and is now an official itinerary staple of my trips! Umm...next time it's MY turn to pick up the check, Dave! We go back to watch the Mariners and rest for the big day at the WSSCA Card show with full bellies! Mariners lose to the Tigers but the ice cream soothes. Back on the topic of baseball cards, Dave surprised me in a big way, handing me a SGC slabbed C46 Gaunt! He says, "I know you don't already have this one..." I reply, "How do you know that?" Dave says" Because you asked about buying it on Net54, but someone got there first and beat you to it...that guy was me!" That was a month or two ago, at least..and I'd forgotten all about it. Man, that was one of the funniest, coolest stories I've been able to tell in a long time! I thought some East Coast collector derailed me before I got out of work , but I love how it worked out. An OBC Classic!! So while the clock is technically on Saturday, the weekend with Dave has just begun and I'm one happy camper already!! Hope to catch up with Rick Lyons Saturday night too, that would really be nice! Oh, and then there's the baseball card show that used to be the main reason I would be coming this way. Now the main reason is really to hang out with my OBC pals. So as usual cards are great, but they are second place! OBC Forever!
