We have been away for a few days, and when we returned I found a card that I claimed from Nick Covello's recent offering. My rookie error was that I just sent him a request based on the card number without checking what the card was. Well, as you may have guessed by now, it turns out to be a super star RBI leaders with Frank Robinson - and in great shape to boot! > Nick, I think I should send it back unless you can find something(s) frommy availables list that you really want. Of course, I am grateful for yourextreme generosity, but I don't know what I can do to properly return fire. > Sorry about my carelessness. > Bob Corvello ================= Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 11:33:01 -0400 To: "OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com" Subject: Thanks Cook!

First up is a great 56 gray back of the old Dookie (living about 10 miles from Duke, that is all I hear during basketball season) of Dick Groat. That in itself would have made a great package. But Dick was accompanied by EIGHTEEN great 1965 OPC cards--and as Lynn noted, some of the first (I had about a half dozen before this) hits to my list. I added the OPCs a little while back after I picked up a couple of lots. In the group were a couple of League Leader cards, Mr. Ball Four himself, Jim Bouton, old Philly favorite Johnny Briggs and Turk Farrell, and "Fear Strikes Out" star, Jimmy PIersall (funny, he doesn't look like Tony Perkins on the card). Many, many thanks Lynn. It was a great package on the day when I changed my work epilogue from "Phillies in 2014" to "Phillies in 2015". It is a tradition at work to watch my email and see when I give up on the Phillies chances--this was by far the earliest in over a decade. ================= Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 06:21:40 -0700 To: "OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com" Subject: Thanks to Jimi Thayer and Don RIce From: Brandon Wax Wanted to say thanks to: Jimi sends his thanks for a few waiver wire cards BEFORE i even got around to sending his cards out!

Andy Cook sent a great pair of cards, a high number black beauty of Bill Hands, and a 61 Fleer of Dutch Leonard.

Thank you Andy!, Finally, another SCP from Mark Talbot who again hit the 1960 Topps list with a #531 Amoros card. That leaves exactly one card left and I am done! Thanks Mark!

Highly appreciated! Ron has really had a devastating couple of years. He lost his only grandson in a tragic fishing accident and then last month his wife, Viola, lost her battle with breast cancer. I have been trying to whittle down his want list which is down to 17 cards including mostly toughies and high numbers. If anyone could help out in any way, I will do my best to compensate you for your efforts. I was hoping to get to the national this year, but my emergency eye surgery in April has kind of put a halt to that idea. If anyonewould be willing to search for me at the national for these cards (no condition requirements at all), I would greatly appreciate it. I know Ron would be thrilled to death to complete his set. I normally don=E2=99t ask for help, but I think this is for a really good cause.

From: Bob Reed Due to my son's illness I've been very lackadaisical in acknowledging some packages. Currently Connor is about 90% recovered. He still has some weakness in his left leg and some internal issue but that's a big improvement from where he was 5 months ago. He was able to graduate with his class and will be attending the University of Connecticut in the Fall. Now that he's better and the National is just around the corner I hope to get back in the swing of things. I'll start out by finally giving thanks for about 6 months of packages. I have tomorrow off work and plan to send out some IOU's (Super Bowl and NCAA) and put together some "handshake packages" for the National attendees. Thanks go out to:Dave Fallen - a T206 and a Hostess panel from 1978T.J.

From: Glenn Codere Last week, I mentioned that I was considering having a crack at the 1969/70 Topps Man On The Moon set. Guru provided me with some very useful info at the time to help me out. This morning, I received an envelope from the good Mr Tipton, which contained an original Man On The Moon wrapper, and a page describing the set along with a checklist thats going to come in VERY handy! These space related items were accompanied on their transatlantic journey by a 1961T Stamp of Dick Gernert - the only remaining Tiger I needed from that set. Thanks so much, Guru! Hope you find some cool stuff at the National!!

From: "Peter" Content-Disposition: inline Larry Tipton sends me a piece of Van Mungo history and something that not only fits the collection but also a particular need... This is a flip-book that Goudy put out in the 30's (not certain when - 34?) that has Van going into his wind up and throwing his "fireball" Not only wonderful to look at and play with (yes it is still in good enough condition to play with!) but also will be a big help as an adjunct to MUNGO! - the one man show that we have just written and will be doing at least around LA if not other places. We wanted some images of Van pitching to project during the play and these images (in the book) can definitely be part of that! Thanks so much Larry -for the fun and functional HIT to my Mungo list and BEYOND...!

THANKS STEVE!! Right after I sent the email, Larry Tipton arrived at the show and greeted me with two more Kelloggs cards, including a highly sought after 1971 variation. THANKS GURU!! MIKE RICH waited until dinner time to hand me three 1955 Red Man cards to kill the set!! With Sal polishing off the 54's a little earlier, that's two Red Man sets finished today! Talk about getting our dessert first! THANKS Almost forgot NICK PELLETIER's contribution to the binder. Just a 1956 Berra! ANOTHER set bites the dust! (I had told him that I had picked up the Jackie Robinson, putting me on the brink of completion.) THANKS NICK!! Not a bad first day at the show I'd say ;-) A list of my finds coming soon to the Ramblings server.

Kent- Gets me rolling with 3 53B color a 55B hit to the Dodger likst and a 73 Mets Checklist Taylor- chips away nicely with a pair of 62s and trio of 59s Mac- Wow! knocks off a line of the Dodger set with a 48B and hits the 59 Guru- Everyone chipping away at 59s as Larry contributes a trio Nick- 3 more 59 chips and officially starts the 60F set by saying, "two means you are collecting it!" Mike R- More 59 damage with 4 hits and the unhittable Conlon list with 4 Richard D- helps bigtime to the annoying 75 set 5 hits- almost done with that one! Bob R- Decided I need to take the 80T basketball sets off the Knick and Net list, nailing the remaining (I believe) with 32 hits. Also along are a few Rangers and badly needed basketball Sam- National rookie sends over a 51T Blue- a set that never gets any hits! Wes- The youngster comes around the back and hits the 72T set and halves the remaining 4 70 scratchoffs!' Steve R- Always a nice assortment including 3 64 coin hits, the 75T basketball of Dr J, 62 stamps Hodges, 98 Kahn Mets team set and some very cool Mets "pins"? Steve, remind me to ask you about that. Also, there are rumours that Steve "Hacked" us at dinner tonight. The incident is still under You know, its so cool to get these cards and the handshakes, but it's always much cooler when you get to hang with yous guys (no accent). I take something away from everyone. I have learned about sets I never knew, talked to others about how they acquired and started certain sets. Found out how generous OBCers are to each other, using their knowledge in other areas of expertise to help out another. Got to meet two former OBCers in Jim Wiehe and Barry Clesh after 20 years, who made the stop to the National. What an awesome group! And hell, this is only Day 1. Thanks to everyone for the cards, and more importantly, thanks for being here and making this the highlight event of the year! ================= Date: 30 Jul 2014 21:59:45 -0700 To: Subject: Thanks, Dan!
