I won one of his contests a few weeks ago, and this is what I receive in the mail today:

I was kind of disappointed there were no Mantles or Gretzky RCs, but I guess this'll have to do. But seriously, the guy sent me some awesome stuff and put thought behind it (I'm sure the Bubba Smith RC is because I'm a Baltimore guy). I'm not gonna make one of those sappy "it's people like this that are why I collect" speeches, but stown's a great guy who sent me a bunch of cool (and expensive) cards, and for that he should be commended.

All cards are for sale for anybody who's interested.

    Apparently, I have badly misjudged stown. I thought he was a guy who would yell at kids to "get out of his yard". And spend his afternoons patrolling illegally parked vehicles. Clearly, I was mistaken--or so it appears. This is a very generous thing. I'm not sure what the contest was, but it was a great gesture regardless.

    Let this be my public apology to this guy. I'm sorry for bickering. Sometimes on a message board, you can't get the vibe of a guy with written words.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Your first package was hockey cards I had from UD's 1st release ('92 or something?) and some other random stuff. There were several names that I was familiar with but don't know what they were worth.

    As to other contests, I had one here but it had limited participation, for whatever reason.

    I'm sure Keith and Goose appreciated the lack of responses image
