Board Members are Awesome! (Elemenopeo)

I wanted to publicly thank a board member for his generosity.
For the last three of four month I've been collecting Ted Simmons cards,,, well a couple of weeks back I saw this Thread. The 84 Action All Star is one of the cards that I need for my Simmons collection so I sent Elemenopeo a PM and asked if the pack/card was for sale? Without hesitation Byron asked for my address and said that he'd send it to me. I tried to flip him a few bucks for the trouble, but he refused!
Last week we traded some 07 A&G and to my surprise when the trade arrived he had put two more Simmons cards in with the trade. One was a 72 topps that is in better shape than the raw that I have, the other was a real sharp 81 fleer.
It’s gestures like that that make these boards so much fun.
Thanks Bryon! You're what the boards, and collecting are all about

    Thanks for the shout out, but I'm more often a beneficiary than a benefactor of the generosity to be found around here. I don't want to get into naming names for fear of forgetting someone, but several members (cough-kmnorton-cough) have helped me out with things I've wanted for my collection (cough-DonnieD-cough) by just sending them to me free of charge (cough-1989FleerBillRipkenCollector-cough) or have gone well beyond what was agreed to in a trade (cough-Bigstep-cough) or have otherwise helped out with a project (cough-ajw-cough-Knuckles-cough)... not to mention all the folks who have helped (cough-ZodiacMindWarp-cough-xbaggypants-cough) or who have offered to help (cough-mosaic-cough-Wondo-cough-onlyanumber-cough-jmbkb4-cough-sayheykid54-cough-just to 'not mention' a few-cough) get the ball rolling on the whole '52 Mantle thing. So, really, a few Ted Simmons cards don't come close to evening things up... it just helps me feel a little less like a complete slacker. Sorry about the nasty cough.. must be goin' around.

  • No need to thank me. Cards were stolen and I think they are tracebale.
