    Carlos:

    Good luck selling your set -- sorry to hear about the medical situation....
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Carkim,
    #1 Do not sell the set
    #2 Break it up if you do

    Loves me some shiny!

    sorry to hear about that, i know you have worked hard on that set.
  • rw2winrw2win Posts: 557 ✭
    I don't know football that well. Can somebody figure out what his set is worth. Maybe we can all chip in and send him the value of his set so he can keep it??? Somebody that knows Carlos could be in charge of holding the money as it comes in. I'm not swimming in money but I'll throw in $25.00

    Easy one... $25.00

    ...and if you found you still had to sell it, then so be it...
    But I think each of us would love to help out in any small way we can.

    I'm in. I know Carlos is not asking for this but it is a fantastic idea.

    What is Carlos' Paypal email?




  • downgoesfrazierdowngoesfrazier Posts: 1,515 ✭✭
    I don't do paypal, but a simple mailing address would be fine. I'd be happy to help also.
    Carlos, we don't know each-other but I sense you'd do the same for others. Be strong and laugh whenever you get the chance. Best,

    Carlos, go into debt, pawn off your neighbors t.v.,wash cars on your lawn, do not, I repeat DO NOT sell this set. If you're doing it to buy more cards, I understand.
    These doctors and insurance companies can wait.

    WOW...this is beyond words. I don't know what to say. Speechless!!!

    I must say that I do love this set and would hate to see it go. But this just doesn't seem right to take money and keep the set.


    Really...I'm speechless...I don't know what to say.

    Thanks

    Carlos is solid! I'm in for $25 as well. Let me know the details for payment and its done!
    Hang in there Carlos, and hold onto your set, you'll be happy you did...jay

    Think of this as the board's collective effort to keep a great set together. That's what we want to see. Paypal info please.
  • acowaacowa Posts: 945 ✭✭
    <But this just doesn't seem right to take money and keep the set.>

    Carlos,

    You have been a valuable member of this board for quite some time. From my vantage point, it doesn't seem right that you have to sell the set. If each of us donates $25, I would look at the set as a gift from the members of the board for all you have done.


    Regards,


    Alan
  • carkimcarkim Posts: 1,166 ✭✭
    Guys,

    Really I can't do this... The amount that I need would far exceed your very kind donations. SMR on this set is nearly $20,000. Although you gifts would help, I'm not sure that it will get me out of this blackhole. Therefore, I can't guarantee that in a month or two I will be right back where I started from.

    I don't think we necessarilly need Vargha Bucks. There are more than 800 participants on these forums. Some can contribute more, and some can contribute less.

    Best of luck to you and your family, Carlos.

    I just chucked you a donation,hope you can get the bills down to a dull roar or ultimately paid off.I'm glad to know that you have survived the cancer and the worst of the matter is merely bills.


    Glad to know you and your set will remain among us.

    Best wishes,Robert Esposito

    Gentlemen,

    Regardless of what you send. Please forward this link to other people who you know are PSA set collectors. Let's pull together. Each person who collects a certain set...mail this link to 5 others who collect the same set. When you list an auction, please link this thread to the auction. Do whatever it takes to get the word out. I am starting an auction tonight with a popular card and this thread will be linked.
