I just returned last nightfrom two weeks in Cali for the holidays and rushed upstairs with my precious envelope. Brooksie was coming off his WS MVP and I thought he was one ofthe best handful of players in all of baseball when I was a kid even though he played for the A=E2=99s AL rival O=E2=99s. The other four cards are in the 500s and include Mickey Stanley and Dick Dietz and I kid you not- they look brand new. Thank you Santa Sean for the great cards!

Larry Gersbach sends 7 hits to my =E2=9979 Topps list including Bill Madlock. Madlock was with the Giants by then and had surpassed a .300 average in each of his major league seasons. Madlock was traded several times and often in big deals. He ended up with career average over .300. Great cards, Larry! Joe Denning hit four different sets - even a football set - and sent a total of 73 cards. The highlight for me was the =E2=9979 Gary Templeton who I watched play short for the Padres for many years at the Murph. Tempy had led the league three years in a row in triples before he turned 24 and I remember calling a radio sports talk show to argue that he should make the All Star team when I was probably 14 or so. I thought he was going to be the best shortstop of our generation but I guess injuries had stolen a lot of his ability by the time he was 29 or so. All the hits from Joe really put the hurt on a couple lists. Great cards, Joe! Thanks Joe and Larry for the surprise packages waiting for me after my trip. It makes for a nice transition back to my pretty great already life! Jim =E2=9CEl Fuego=E2=9D Silva #25 ================= Date: 03 Jan 2017 19:51:04 -0800 To: Subject: Waiver Wire Thanks !

(thanks again to Andy Huntoon for my first). It's a very well kept T-206 of St. Louis Browns pitcher Dode Criss. Though he once threw a no-hitter, his important contribution to the game is that he was the first guy to be used regularly as a pinch hitter. I'm sure that Manny Mota would love to have this card. In 1908, his .341 batting average was tops in baseball, but the commissioner subjectively decided to give the batting title to Ty Cobb because Criss didn't have "enough" at-bats. Quite a hit for my collection!!! ED SCHOTT completes a sort-of-trade, but in OBC fashion decides to send me stuff that is several times over what I sent to him. He already sent me two packages previously. Well, this package included, in addition to his cool Santa art on the envelope, the following: a 1955 Bowman of Nellie Fox, a trio of 1963 Topps including Bombers' Best (the Mick, Tresh, and Richardson), semi-hi Bob Gibson, and hi number Nellie Fox. Then a pair of 1964s (Kuenn and Marichal), and three more from 1965, including a rookie card of Nellie Briles. MATT YUDT sent me 10 hits to my new 1974 red checklists posting, along with 16 hits to the 1975 Topps mini set (including Pirate Rennie Stennett), 35 upgrades from 1976 Topps including stars like Cey, Tanana, Pinson, and Scrap Iron Phil Garner, and tops it off with 9 upgrades for my 1979 Topps set, including Graig Nettles. RANDY WELK delivers a flat with a Star Trek stamp - inside were a 1975 mini, 3 from 1976, and a pair of early UV superstars. GARY BEARD chimes in with a SCP - a 1963 Topps card of #388 Jim "Peanut" ANDY COOK sent my first ever 1973 Topps blue checklist (San Francisco GRANT RAINSLEY sent a pair of 1957s (including Frank Torre), a 1958 Clem Labine, a 1975 mini, and a pair of 1976 Topps upgrades. JAKE ELWELL hits my 1968 and 1969 Topps football lists with nine cards, including Dave Parks, who led the NFL in receiving the prior season. As you can see, a pretty good bit of incoming mail!

Really good to have a bit of progress in time for Fleer February. Thanks, Gary! JAMES MOLETA scummed me a partial set of thirty-two 1961 Fleer, also reallyboosting the Fleer thing... but the thanks on this server is technically only about the three 1970 Topps high numbers he slid in as a nice bonus. Thanks, WES SHEPARD covered an envelope with stamps; I can only assume this is an homage to my own silly practice. You bring honor to me, Shepard-San! On to the contents: a 1960 Fleer Lefty Grove (FLEER AGAIN!), seven 1960 Topps including the Orioles team card, three 1962 Topps including "Spahn Shows No-HitForm," 1963 Topps Bobby Wine, nine 1965 Topps including hometown boy Morrie Steevens rookie [born and went to school in Salem, the next town over] and Ken Boyer, and three 1978 Hostess hits. Wow, whatta stack! Thanks, Wes! So these Fleer hits (all three packages - wo00ot) are exciting for me anyway, just because they're hits, hey, fun fun. But even better is that they all go toward the possibility of accomplishing goals 5 and 9 (promote Fleer February, and finish a non-Topps vintage set). Did I mention FLEER FEBRUARY?FLEER FEBRUARY!

From: Ken M Hi all,  A couple nights before my divorce hearing, I had a dream about something like this. I'll detail it below if you're bored. Anyway, these envelopes both arrived in the final days of 2016. I figure since I haven't gotten anything in the mail this year, I should clease my karma by catching up on last year's thanks.  SAL DOMINO adds a couple 1975 minis to my binder along with a DS check. Also in the interest of good karma, I put Sal's purchase in the mail today. THANKS SAL!!  The other envelope comes from King's Park, WV.

Shawn sends a pair of cards he claims to have cut from the bottom of a snack cake box himself as a kid. It was not Hostess, but a rival competitor about a decade later. THANKS SHAWN!! TAYL, Ken M Sent from my not so smart phone.------The nightmare: I dreamt my (now) ex-wife was going through the storage boxes sitting in my living room. In them was all her stuff she was taking out of the house with her. One of the totes had UNOPENED packages from you guys that had been sitting there for YEARS - and I had obviously never thanked anyone for sending them or even opened them. But get this: the envelopes didn't have any cards in them, but rather toys for the kids - who had now since outgrown whatever was sent years ago and never acknowledged. I was near tears in my dream as I opened package after package of baby toys. I was awoken by one of the kids opening the door to my room. They usually come in to sleep with me, but whoever it was scurried back to their room instead. Weird. After that dream, I went into their room to sleep instead.   Funny part about that dream was that at some point I must've asked you guys to send my kids toys. Why, I'll never know. Even funnier is that my house already looks like a toy store exploded in it and every Christmas my kids are spoiled rotten by their mother and both sets of grandparents. There is no possible way I could ask anyone for MORE toys. In fact, if she wasn't already planning to clear out most of them with her stuff, I'd be devising ways to get rid of them. ================= Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2017 06:07:55 +0000 (UTC) To: "" Subject: Oh this is going to be a good one! From: familytoad@comcast.net , waiting for a moment to be able to type out my latest thanks note.

Often, we try to be clever and make silly rhymes or just tell a true story.
I am not going to try to rhyme the message, but I am still hopingto get 2 of those 3 keys.

Ok, the story is about friends helping friends.
My wife and I have dear friends who we were dining with a couple weeks ago.

Husband is a coin collector, nearly as passionate about his collection as I am with mine (or like you guys) For some reason, he recently decided to collect Canadian coins. ( I know...right?) Wife tolerates this but couldn't care less (been there?)

He digs out his binder of Canadian coins and says he has had difficulty finding all of them. Blah, blah...People pay with plastic, not cash and Canada gave up making pennies in 2012, a few other reasons I suppose.
(My buddy loves penny collecting above other currency type....)

I said..."Wait, I know a crazy Canuck with mad skills on finding perps, solving mysteries and locating obscure things. And he might have these 7 missing pennies in his couch cushions!"

I contacted Constable Rainsley. He decided that he could take this mission even if he needed to "vest up" or go under cover. After hearing his acceptance speech, I feel as though I chose wisely.

Today's mail broughtan odd Canadian envelope from our esteemed detective. Ok, in order to staywithin OBC rules, I must mention that there were a pair of 1975 Topps MiniCards inside!
Thank you G!

But the story , nor this thanks isn't over yet. Another little package was included that had almost all the missing pennies. Apparently 2012 was a short-printed penny variety (or close out special) 6 out of 7 were located and I will present these tomorrow at dinner.

But here comes the giggling part I was thinking about :

"I left Grant penniless"

OBC Forever,
Brian

I could go on and on about what I've been up to but let's just say that my obligationsat work have more than doubled and free time has been at a premium. That has not stopped the good traders of this group from sending things my way and it has continued despite the common decency from your truly of a thank you. This posting is terribly overdue and those those who are mentioned in the following line I hope you will forgive the timeliness of my sentiments.Thanks are in order to: 8-9-16 - Peter Mead continues the never-ending trade by sending along (2) envelopes that contained (2) skeds (Jamestown Jammers and the Lancaster Barnstormers - say WHO???), a `62 Post Canadian FB (Warlick), a `63 Stancraft FB redback (Shofner, and a pair of `62 Salada FB coins (Wade & Riley). All from "oddball" sets that compliment my character to the tee - Thanks for the endless FUN my old friend!!! 8-9-16 - Ken Morganti does the "dealer scum" thing with me and allows me to share in the fun of the National by making (5) `78 Hostess Panels available as well as (4) `54 Red Man date variation cards (Zernail, Schoendienst, Westrum, AND MUSIAL!!!). It doesn't matter to me that it's pay to play, I am happy to get these in the collection - Thanks Mr. Wizzard!!! 8-11-16 - Ken Pillion allows me to claim a waiver listing of a `54 Bowman FB card of Lion Dick Stanfel for my still unlisted Detroit Lion binder. Don't know when I might muster up the time to organize that binder but as I see postings for new homes for cards from the hometown club I grab them up and put then in the binder. Condition is just fine Ken, and why would you 8-22-16 - Brian Betza slips me a three count sleeve filled with (9) `72Milton Bradley game cards. One time TIGER Fred Gladding was in the group with Ollie Brown, Tony Horton, and a few others. Not too many hit this setbut Brian has been making the rounds - Thanks buddy!!! 9-6-16 - Bob Neill states that he found a rare hit and had to send it along - so the SCP from the `54 Dan-Dee set (Al Rosen) has been knocked off the list. A true gem of a card that would have the Guru blushing and slapping down a HI Tipton grade number on this one - much appreciated Bob!!! 9-18-16 - Mike Rich and I met up at the local Redf12-ord show for some cardboard FUN and Mike handed over a `26 W-512 strip card of Aviator Charles Levine and a `73-74 Topps Basketball team sticker (Rockets/Braves). Mikealso had items from his tour around the country with a `76 MSA Carousel Snacks Disc (Bobby Murcer) from John Stamper and a `70 bazooka FB card (TommyNobis) from Steve Rittenberg. After walking the aisles a bit we ended up catching the Lions on the Big Screen with some burgers and adult libations at a local eatery - Always a pleasure my friend!!! 9-28-16 - Richard Labs sends cards that look like `60 Topps but they'renot - more details elsewhere. I love these retro sets but they sure are hard to finish, thanks for the help Richard!!! 10-12-16 - Larry Tipton spies a few "new" non-sport listings and makes SCP contibutions to the '53 Bowman NBC TV & Radio Stars set (Geroge Fennemen) and the '66 Topps Superman set. Way to go Guru!!! 10-20-16 - Anthony Arbeeny who is a regular to this SE Michigan mailboxonce again delights with a pair of `56 Topps Davy Crockett greenbacks and a `59 RedSicle Aircraft card. Ant-man continues the non-sport theme as he often does and it makes me a very happy camper - Thanks Chef Ant!!! 10-31-16 - Mike Glasser connects with a group of (8) Non-Sport beautiesw/(3) '54 Topps Scoops, (4) '50 Bowman Wild West, and a SCP from '50 ToppsHopalong Cassidy. These sets are fun for me, all issued just a few years before I was born - yet I remember Saturday morning/early afternoon serialsw/Hopalong, the Lone Ranger, and Roy Rogers. Happy trails Mike - Thank you!!!! 11-26-16 - John Dahms who sends cards that look like `58 and `60 Topps but they're not - more details elsewhere Thanks John!!! 12-2-16 - Mike Rich and I got together with a few buddies and made our way to Ford Field for the MAC Conference Championship featuring undefeated Western Michigan University vs. Ohio University. The Broncos prevailed with a 29-23 victory over the Bobcats sending the undefeated Western Michigan squad into the New Year's Six bowl against Wisconsin where they would battle to a 24-16 defeat but still provided quite a thrill to Mid American Conference fans. Mike would not only accompany me but he would slide me a `66 Fleer Drysdale game card, a `77 Wiffle ball Disc (Perez), a pair of `78 SlimJim FB singles (Hart & Howard), and a King B Disc (Martinez). 12-3-16 - Jim Craig sends my first Christmas card of the season and tucks in a pair of `53 Bowman Frontier Days cards and a SCP from the `55 ToppsRails & Sails set. Thank you Jim - Happy Holidays!!! 12-3-16 - Ken Goetsch writes that it's not too often that he has something for me so he sends me not 1 but 2 envelopes with (15) FB HOF cards w/name like Jurgensen, Olsen, Griese, Lambert, Butkus, Csonka, and former LION Doak Walker. How cool is that - Thanks Ken!!! 12-6-16 - Chris Tripler makes his presence known during the holidays with a nice X-mas card with a `71 Bazooka (Murcer) and a `71 Topps Greatest Moments card (Wright) hitting two seldom hit sets - Thanks so much Mike!!! 12-12-16 - Brian Betza makes the holiday season brighter by continuing the assault on the `72 Milton Bradley set w/(7) more direct hits and then includes a SCP from the `59 Topps CFL set (Steve Jenkins). Great additions to my collection Brian - Thanks!!! 12-15-16 - John Stamper makes the yuletide gay with a X-mas card from he and his wife Karyn and he adds a `59 Fleer Indian card, a `65 Donruss spec Sheet card and a pair of `75 Big Boy Great American cards. Thanks so much 12-27-16 - Nick Covello hits my list as the final contributor in 2016 with (9) FB HOF cards w/stars like Don Maynard, Alan Page and Franco Harris.You just got to love'em - I do - so thanks Nick!!! There is NO DOUBT that most of these thanks are long overdue and wouldhave been much easier to do if thanks were sent out in a more timely manner. Nonetheless, it would be a good goal for me through 2017 to be less of a procrastinator in this area. The generosity of all these fine fellas is overwhelming particularly since I have been far less than active in the last 12 months (or more). I am finalizing my rehearsal schedule for the annual concert known as Jamuary that will take place on January 21st. If you are so inclined feel free to check out the website athttp://www.Jamuary.net ,and if in the area concert tickets are still available but are going fast (we sold out the last 2 years). The Past Jamuary tab has video of our workwith a number of cuts that feature my sax work.

I could go on and on about what I've been up to but let's just say that my obligations at work have more than doubled and free time has been at a premium. That has not stopped the good traders of this group from sending things myway and it has continued despite the common decency from your truly of a thank you. This posting is terribly overdue and those those who are mentioned in the following line I hope you will forgive the timeliness of my sentiments. Thanks are in order to: > 8-9-16 - Peter Mead continues the never-ending trade by sending along (2) envelopes that contained (2) skeds (Jamestown Jammers and the Lancaster Barnstormers - say WHO???), a `62 Post Canadian FB (Warlick), a `63 Stancraft FB redback (Shofner, and a pair of `62 Salada FB coins (Wade & Riley). All from "oddball" sets that compliment my character to the tee - Thanks for the endless FUN my old friend!!! > 8-9-16 - Ken Morganti does the "dealer scum" thing with me and allows me to share in the fun of the National by making (5) `78 Hostess Panels available as well as (4) `54 Red Man date variation cards (Zernail, Schoendienst, Westrum, AND MUSIAL!!!). It doesn't matter to me that it's pay to play, I am happy to get these in the collection - Thanks Mr. Wizzard!!! > 8-11-16 - Ken Pillion allows me to claim a waiver listing of a `54 Bowman FB card of Lion Dick Stanfel for my still unlisted Detroit Lion binder. Don't know when I might muster up the time to organize that binder but as I see postings for new homes for cards from the hometown club I grab them up and put then in the binder. Condition is just fine Ken, and why would you ask??? > 8-22-16 - Brian Betza slips me a three count sleeve filled with (9) `72 Milton Bradley game cards. One time TIGER Fred Gladding was in the group with Ollie Brown, Tony Horton, and a few others. Not too many hit this set but Brian has been making the rounds - Thanks buddy!!! > 9-6-16 - Bob Neill states that he found a rare hit and had to send it along - so the SCP from the `54 Dan-Dee set (Al Rosen) has been knocked off the list. A true gem of a card that would have the Guru blushing andslapping down a HI Tipton grade number on this one - much appreciated Bob!!! > 9-18-16 - Mike Rich and I met up at the local Redf12-ord show forsome cardboard FUN and Mike handed over a `26 W-512 strip card of Aviator Charles Levine and a `73-74 Topps Basketball team sticker (Rockets/Braves).Mike also had items from his tour around the country with a `76 MSA Carousel Snacks Disc (Bobby Murcer) from John Stamper and a `70 bazooka FB card (Tommy Nobis) from Steve Rittenberg. After walking the aisles a bit we ended up catching the Lions on the Big Screen with some burgers and adult libations at a local eatery - Always a pleasure my friend!!! > 9-28-16 - Richard Labs sends cards that look like `60 Topps but they're not - more details elsewhere. I love these retro sets but they sureare hard to finish, thanks for the help Richard!!! > 10-12-16 - Larry Tipton spies a few "new" non-sport listings and makes SCP contibutions to the '53 Bowman NBC TV & Radio Stars set (Geroge Fennemen) and the '66 Topps Superman set. Way to go Guru!!! > 10-20-16 - Anthony Arbeeny who is a regular to this SE Michigan mailbox once again delights with a pair of `56 Topps Davy Crockett greenbacks and a `59 RedSicle Aircraft card. Ant-man continues the non-sport theme as he often does and it makes me a very happy camper - Thanks Chef Ant!!! > 10-31-16 - Mike Glasser connects with a group of (8) Non-Sport beauties w/(3) '54 Topps Scoops, (4) '50 Bowman Wild West, and a SCP from '50Topps Hopalong Cassidy.

Happy trails Mike - Thank > 11-26-16 - John Dahms who sends cards that look like `58 and `60 Topps but they're not - more details elsewhere Thanks John!!! > 12-2-16 - Mike Rich and I got together with a few buddies and made our way to Ford Field for the MAC Conference Championship featuring undefeated Western Michigan University vs. Ohio University. The Broncos prevailed with a 29-23 victory over the Bobcats sending the undefeated Western Michigan squad into the New Year's Six bowl against Wisconsin where they wouldbattle to a 24-16 defeat but still provided quite a thrill to Mid AmericanConference fans. Mike would not only accompany me but he would slide me a`66 Fleer Drysdale game card, a `77 Wiffle ball Disc (Perez), a pair of `78 Slim Jim FB singles (Hart & Howard), and a King B Disc (Martinez). > 12-3-16 - Jim Craig sends my first Christmas card of the season and tucks in a pair of `53 Bowman Frontier Days cards and a SCP from the `55Topps Rails & Sails set. Thank you Jim - Happy Holidays!!! > 12-3-16 - Ken Goetsch writes that it's not too often that he has something for me so he sends me not 1 but 2 envelopes with (15) FB HOF cards w/name like Jurgensen, Olsen, Griese, Lambert, Butkus, Csonka, and formerLION Doak Walker. How cool is that - Thanks Ken!!! > 12-6-16 - Chris Tripler makes his presence known during the holidays with a nice X-mas card with a `71 Bazooka (Murcer) and a `71 Topps Greatest Moments card (Wright) hitting two seldom hit sets - Thanks so much Mike!!! > 12-12-16 - Brian Betza makes the holiday season brighter by continuing the assault on the `72 Milton Bradley set w/(7) more direct hits and then includes a SCP from the `59 Topps CFL set (Steve Jenkins). Great additions to my collection Brian - Thanks!!! > 12-15-16 - John Stamper makes the yuletide gay with a X-mas card from he and his wife Karyn and he adds a `59 Fleer Indian card, a `65 Donruss spec Sheet card and a pair of `75 Big Boy Great American cards.

You just got to love'em - I do - so thanks Nick!!! > There is NO DOUBT that most of these thanks are long overdue andwould have been much easier to do if thanks were sent out in a more timelymanner. Nonetheless, it would be a good goal for me through 2017 to be less of a procrastinator in this area. The generosity of all these fine fellas is overwhelming particularly since I have been far less than active in the last 12 months (or more).

Tomorrow is the semi-annual inventory day at work, so after running around like a madman getting everything counted and ready, it was good to sit down and unwind with some good food, good friends and playoff football. Bob got to show off some cool items and flea market finds from his collection. His two super friendly dogs also made me feel very welcome. It was also nice to have a conversation that wasn't mostly about work and with people older than ten. Naturally, there were gifts exchanged...  BOB DONALDSON, besides being a great host, let me lug away a new(er) SCD, this one is the 2009 version to replace my 2005 - comes with a DVD too. THANKS BOB!!  CHRIS TRIPLER hands me a dozen hits to my 1980 OPC set, including a second year Ozzie Smith! THANKS CHRIS!!

My own such collection consists mostly of what I've been given by Ed. So Ed put me further in the hole to him by handing me 41 different mini track and field cards from Germany from the 1930s - I think. There are some back differences and duplicates as well as the German translation to figure out. These are not cards I run across, ever. Ed added some UV cards for my bike spokes - a great OBC visit in San Francisco!

Met up with MATT "SPIKE" GLIDDEN and KEN MORGANTI for some great eats, some slow playoff football (after the Packers woke up from their Giants hangover), and the appropriate amount of gawking at BOB'S amazing collection. I was like "wow!" after "wow!" beginning with hisamazing collection of T202 Hassan folders, then seeing one of the best conditioned '68T Mantle posters you'll ever see, then seeing some '33 and '34 Goudey Gehrigs and Ruths, then a '49B Jackie Robinson, and then a T200 Fatima card of the Red Sox...it's basically a card museum/card heaven. BOB alsotreated us to some local sub shop eats with some chicken parm subs that were...A-MAAAAZING! Then, BOB had a pile of pick ups from which I got a 1920sThe Reach Official American League Guide Book. Not in any readable shape, but the pics are worth framing, so that's what I think I'll do. I also picked up some unmentionables, which were also great. So, that's about what...1, 2,...3 different ways a thanks is due to MR. DONALDSON...also, a public apology for saying that I thought he was an older gentlemen...it was awkwardafter I said it, so I apologize for that. Thank you, thank you, thank you a million different ways, BOB! If was great meeting MATT "SPIKE" GLIDDEN for the first time, though I could have sworn I met him before. In any case, MR. GLIDDEN "handshakes" me by rifling through his dupes box to come up with 4 hits to the '55B set with the likes of Max Surkont, Harry Chiti, and Charlie Maxwell, then adds a couple '56T #s 195, 311 as well as a '62 Exhibit Red Stats Back of Henry Landis, Jr. Really great stuff! Thank you so much SPIKE, and great meeting you, and I hope you found a great bar to watch the game, and I hope you didn't have to sleep on the couch last night... KEN MORGANTI also "handshook" (?) me with three '80T Superstars Cards of Jim Rice, Pete Rose and Davey Lopes, which at the time I was like "thanks" inthe same way that you say "hi" passing an acquaintance on the street. Which may have surprised KEN because, if I had known my WL a little better, I would have recognized that those cards made up the LAST THREE needed for theset. Hence, SET KILL! SET KILLLLLL!!! SET KILLLLLLLLLLLL!!! (said like theannouncer in those soccer games for the word "Goal"). Thank you, KEN! Thank you for the great stories too! Always great entertainment meeting up withOBCers, no matter what!SET KILL!!! SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!SET KILL!!!YEAHHHHHHH!!!!! (I like set kills, very thrilling for me) Lastly, but definitely not least by any stretch of the imagination...WES SHEPARD...WES SHEPARD is awesome. The OBC flock is safer with a SHEPARD in our midst..WES does some serious WL whacking, like I had somehow forgotten that I had sent him a Mantle or something... I digress...In the mail today, MR. SHEPARD sent 4 '50B with the likes of Sherman Lollar and a Robinson...no, not that Robinson, Eddie Robinson. Then, follows that up with a very nicepair of 52T Sam Zoldak (which after checking would be perfect for Morganti's Mini Project...but, not this one) and Everett Bridges, then four hits tothe '54T set Jehosie Heard...I don't know what he heard but it's a heck ofa card and not such a bad pitcher for Baltimore, followed up with a DCP tothe '59T set with #65 Frank Torre and #338 George Anderson, and to wrap itall up a SCP each of '60T Tom Brewer (bringing that set down to 30 cards needed) and a '62T #400 Eslton Howard, and finally a '63T Bill Bruton. Trulyamazing stuff and as always, so very much appreciated!!!! WES you're the gold star OBCer of the day! Thanks!!! Have a wonderful rest of your OBC day everyone!

From: Yaz Here is a quote from my homepage describing card conditions I will accept. "Creases, informational writing, scratches, warping, bad centering, bullet holes (.22 caliber), staple holes, tape marks, gum/wax stains, water marks, food stains, fuzzy corners, no corners (within reason, see #2), bicycle spoke damage and glue marks, do not bother me at all." Nick Pelletier sent me a hit to my '59 Topps set that could only claim one of the above attributes to any large degree. That attribute, the bullet holes, is displayed quite handily however, with well over a dozen of them surrounding the player's portrait. A very tasteful display here, none of the holes hit the player. This beautiful card knocked my '59 list down to seven cards and it's all downhill from here because this was the big one, The Mick! Whenever an OBC envelope comes in the mail we have the great experience of opening gifts and they are all great if they hit our list. In fact, even if by mistake, they don't hit our list we love them because we know we can send it on to someone who does need it. Some cards can leave a guy speechless for awhile when received, tough set killers, Micks, Mays cards and such.

From: Yaz The description comes from a section on my page that lists a couple of dozen cards I would upgrade if able. The sentence before the description I posted explains why those attributes are not mentioned in yesterday's thanks. Here is that sentence. "Out of 60,000 plus cards I have graded and cataloged, these are the only ones that I call poor enough to upgrade. It's gotta look pretty bad to be listed here. Mainly, #1) If some young artist made enhancements to the player's face, or #2) If a large amount of the card is missing, I call it poor. Anything that doesn't have one of these problems is an upgrade." Of course even a card that makes/made that list is better than a blank. A blank is considered #2 squared.

"Upstairs" is truly just the upstairs. Being a bachelor, 1 room upstairs is dedicated to my singles and 1 room is the duplicates room. The Souvenir and Slurpee cups, RC Cola cans and publications are all in the basement. Coke cap singles are actually kept in a book case in my bedroom. Abby is a greatsport and only periodically comments about the numerous boxes of cards in the family room on the main floor. She has yet to comment about all the stuff on the table in the dinette. We have never eaten a meal on the dinettetable as it has never come close to being cleared enough to do so. That said, I still only rank 3rd on the "you have got to be kidding, how does someone live like this?" among current or former OBCers, based upon personal inspection. I have now been shown at least 28 current and former OBCers collections at their abodes, plus a 2nd location for 1 OBCer. This covers 14 different states.

From: Geno Wagner Fellas -- Nick Pelletier surprises me today from Minnesota with a T202 panel of Dick Hoblitzel! Nick and I are in the OBC Fantasy Hockey league, where he continues to be plagued by bad luck...to include a victory by my team on a last game of the week, Ryan Kesler hat trick. Nick has a good memory,saying he remembered Hoblitzel being on my wantlist at one time. He was actually my HOMer, until I switched after the Cubs series victory. I always liked Hoblitzel, as he is near and dear to every T205 collector's heart. I picked up a cool picture of him at one point, and it's hanging on my office wall with my other baseball card stuff. He left baseball to be a dentist in the army in WWI, which always reminded me of Hermie from Rudolph on the Island of Misfit Toys. Awesome stuff, Nick..thanks, again!!

In an act of irony, Geno sent a congratulatory card of the aforementioned Robinson guy, a Kid Picture from 1972. That helps the second set a bunch. The card is "payment " for the OBC fantasyleague that has been a lot of fun this year. My son was able to defeat Geno last week and we are moving on to the next targets...I have to pony up a card for Mark Z who edged my Familytoads this week.

Geno also sent an interesting card and schedule to keep young Calbert company...2014 Fayetteville Swamp Dogs and a 3 finger Brown commemorate card....touting mordecaibrown.com and published by what appears to be a relative. Pretty cool, but not as cool as the old Psycho picture card of the fine 3rd sacker ! Thanks Geno!

OBC Forever,

It has a nice thank you card from LaShelle for my help with Joe's holiday gift from her. As if that wasn't thank you enough, there's also a pack of minis and some hockey hits.

Meanwhile 9 of 10 packagesmailed on January 11 have been acknowledged. Last time I will likely use the PO by the airport. A few more went out on Tuesday and there is a dozenor so to get to the PO. Speaking of PO, I pulled back 1 package on Tuesday due to the cost of mailing (almost $12). I spoke to my mailman and he mentioned that if I do postage on line, I have more choices and it might be cheaper. Based upon size and weight, I can only send as Priority Mail at the PO. I have noticed afew guys seem to use the on line postage. Is there special equipment needed, other than a postal scale? Any tips or warnings? IS this worth getting set up?

I had the #5 type card, so that makes four total from the 24-card set and (by OBC tradition) I'm officially working on it! Given today's picture of 1930s Germany, one #23 "Soldier Boy" paragraph from the card back stands out: *"The Famous German 'Goosestep' which you have seen is generally used only as a form of salute when marching in parade but because it is physically exhausting it is also sometimes used as a form of punishment."* Cool uncut sheet of full set: https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/292423 BOB DONALDSON and MIKE RICH conspire to send a pair of 1936 Goudey Wide Pens, adding Sam Byrd and Charlie Gelbert to my set. BRIAN LINDHOLME sends me the penultimate Red Heart, and an appropriate one: Red Schoendienst! I suspect he bought me Chandy Greenholt's recent tape-on-the-back OBC special, above and beyond the normal course of duty! It looks great in the binder and is one terrific hit. Since women are in the news today, a tip of the hat to MY MOM, who rescued my OBC Santa present, the graphic novel "HIT BY PITCH." I'd left it behind during a trip home to Seattle, but she found it in the guest bedroom and priority mailed it back into my hands. Moms are great.

That would have been a great day at the mailbox but two more '63's in the envelope made it incredible. They were two of the last 5 Fleer 63's I needed and like all 5, are REAL toughies!

I believe the =E2=9971 Paul Schaal is the first card I ever pulled out of a vending machine (at Safeway).I wish they still had those! Three cards from =E2=9970 Topps including Reggie Jackson! Reggie played in the first game I ever went to in Oakland in 1968 (bat day) and I traded my Rick Monday bat for Reggie=E2=99s bat. Wow - always love getting Reggie! Four high number =E2=9971 Topps including one of those cool three playerrookie stars cards. Adrain Garrett was one of the players on the card and I remember that when the A=E2=99s got him he was supposed to be the nextbig power hitting outfielder. Did=E2=99t quite work out. And a single from =E2=9972 Topps - another nose bleed - Ron Santo in action! Great cards, Ed - thanks so much!

And everybody's already heard my story about Joel at the National, hooking me up with a huge box of skeds for five bucks. What I hope to do in the near future, shortly after I retire, is write a tracking program for sked collectors. There are so many years, sports, and teams, with no real comprehensive master list available, and certainly no way to wrap your head around how many different skeds you've got in your collection. One thing is for sure, I have a lot of dupes, and will be putting together several assortments of about a hundred different skeds to give out to anyone interested - will also set aside a big bagful for the FOOT boys. Any and all skeds are greatly appreciated! Today's envelope from Jay Tysver brought three 57-year-old cards into the 21st century: Topps 1960 Jim Rivera, Leo Kiely, and Jack Meyer.

From: "Mark Holland" I am home for the weekend while still working my contract stint in Mississippi. The wife picked me up at the airport and we ran some errands, then I felt obligated to take her to dinner (while thinking of the cards that were waiting at home). Aren't we are still like kids in the candy store? Surely I am not the only one that still gets excited to get cards. While I am on the road, she tells me that I got cards from Jay, Sean, Greg or Wes. And I will tell her to open it and she might say it has 3 cards that look pretty good but it became obvious really quick that she couldn't figure out what years they were from and in most cases she butchered the name beyond recognition. So she just left them on the desk and that was my first stop when I got home. Ah, reunited with my cards. In addition to a the great OBC packages I had a "purchase" at a great deal package from Kurt I had these OBC cards waiting: * Jay Tysver - (3) 1960 Topps including a Hal Woodeschick (my Dad was a Cardinals fan) & Felipe Alou * Greg Henthorn - a 54T, 57T Wilhelm, '60 AL Kings, '61 LL with Koufax and a '61 Cepeda. * Wes Shepard - (3) 1956T including Whitey Ford * Sean Schuettpelz - (2) 1970T including Brock And Kurt Toudot sent me a note that he picked up 3 67 high numbers that I needed in a addition to many others. I now have my '67 list down to 4 and the '66 down to 1 thanks to Kurt. Thanks to you guys for thinking of me. I may not have much card time this weekend as I have to fly back Sunday and my son is getting married on Saturday so it's a pretty packed weekend.

Thanks TJ! Next, the JAY TYSVER express pulls into the station with 3 hits, starting with two from 1950 Topps's Freedom's War. Jay also knocks my 1975 Hostess WL down to a SINGLE CARD when he erases Felix Milan from that list. The lone remaining soldier is #91 Bill Russell. Any heroes out there? Thanks Jay!

Martin, Phil Ortega, Carl Sawatski, Gene Conley, Hank Foiles, and a modern-day shock - a 1962 Topps Tito Francona in a Cleveland Indians uniform, looking a lot like his son who is currently managing the Indians I'm really enjoying the way this project of rebuilding these sets is going. Each one of the cards is greatly appreciated, and now that I'm done footing the bill for my daughter's college education (she graduates from Hofstra in May) and I'm retiring in April, I'll have a lot more time to stock up on my own waiver inventory and dispense it out to the general membership.

I hope you are all having a terrific Sunday! A stack of envelopes has been piling up over the past several weeks, most of them have remained unopened as my attention has been focused elsewhere - mostly work and some significant family illness issues. At any rate, I'll get to it. Rich Niessen sent a really thoughtful Christmas card with a test issue in it. I can't seem to remember where I put the envelope, so I'm at a loss as to what the test issue was. My apologies, Rich, for the long delay in public thanks. Sean Schuettpelz also sent Christmas greetings with a card and five ballplayers from the iconic '67 set. Thanks, Sean, and my apologies to you as well for the long delay in thanks. John Stamper promptly welcomed me back to the OBC fold with a hit to the dwindling low number '72 football set (Dick Butkus) and a hit to the birthyear '66 baseball set. Hmm... let me look at my list. Hmm... card #373 isn't on it. Hmm... according to the checklist, card #373 is supposed to feature Giants rookie stars, but this card clearly features White Sox rookie stars. Ah, mystery solved. The penny sleeve had "529" written on it, and sure enough, #529 is the White Sox rookies. For some odd reason, some kid decided to renumber this card as 373. Just another reason I love low-grade baseball cards! Jay Tysver has been mentioned on the thanks server a LOT lately - he comes calling with a SCP hit to the '68 set: Lou Brock all-star! Wowsers! Mike Glasser has also been quite popular recently.

I think I still owe him for it. I also put #211 Blaylock (w) in my album tonight after I found an upgrade this summer in Houston. There is still one card left on the list, #25 Don Hoak. But I think I should quit this furshluginner project. I had an idea to upgrade my 59 set a few years ago. You know, replace the beaters with something more presentable. Find upgrades for cards with writing on them. But this project just keeps going and going and going. I looked at the #25 Hoak in my album. It is generally out of place with the others. Rounded corners, multiple creases, blah blah blah. I had hoped to find a presentable one for $1 but can't quite do it. Its the last card on my list so maybe keep looking? Well, on the same page is a #27 Pafko with STAPLE HOLES in it. I've looked at this album how many times and now I find one with staple holes? As I flipped through the binder, I found a #338 Sparky Anderson with pencil on the back. My team cards are all marked. Holy cr--! How much more did I miss.? #44 Valentinetti has pen scribble on the back. And I cannot find my #235 (w) Thomas upgrade. Maybe I will keep searching for Hoak. And now Pafko and Anderson and Valentinetti. Or maybe I will abandon this as a lesson to myself. I thought I was observant but I seem to really suck at it.
