HEY EVERYBODY. Earlier I alluded to the fact that I am running my eBay auctions for Charity with ALL the proceeds going through The Knights of Columbus Council 12997 @ Nativity of Our Lady Church.
Here is the lint to MY AUCTIONS. Now check this out.
I have decided not to ask anyone for contributions however a few kindred souls have either made donations or sent some items to be auctioned or to be given to Young Numismatists/ perhaps even in the form of small Gifts for needy children and I appreciate it but HERE is where you REALLY SHOULD PAY ATTENTION, OK?
You ALL work with me all year long, right here. You ALL know how I feel about treating one another. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION FOR A FEW MINUTES YOU COULD GET REALLY LUCKY.
I believe eyoung 429 and Bigtime 36 would both vouch for my spirit of generosity. Bigtime just happened to draw ME as his very First swap mate and I wanted to make SURE it was one that he would always have fond memories of. In another thread he expressed that indeed it was "One to remember." God, I hate tooting my own horn but there IS a point to be made here.
Earl is more special to me than he even realizes and that would be due to ONE simple act of Compassion shown to me when I needed it most. In the True Spirit of GIVING, I gave him what can be easily summed up as one of, if not my FAVORITE COIN because it was very "unique."
I discovered a LONG TIME AGO that when we GIVE, it is WE, the GIVERS, that actually benefit the most. In other words, it literally FEELS GOOD to GIVE without expecting to be compensated. For ME, it goes much deeper but I will try to keep it short.
Some here may recall that I have undergone some MAJOR Life changes over the past 2 and a half years. Before this I used to run a Christmas Charity Drive here and right along with the events of my Life (2 1/2 yrs ago) things got crazy, got ugly and way out of control. My Life was turned upside down and everything about it ceased to be. I was violated in more ways than I care to remember but when I realized that nothing I could say (not even the Truth) would stop the Venom aimed at me, I withdrew to Silence and relied heavily on my Faith. Now that I look back I know what really happened and so does the Big Man upstairs ... and ya know what? That's ALL that really matters.
My point IS, because of all of this, I spent 18 months in self imposed Silence. I took a long hard look inward, at ME. People tried to make something that was beautiful Ugly which brings me to what is going on THIS YEAR regarding a very long Tradition I have had regarding helping those less fortunate than we, at Christmas.
Some seem to enjoy raking people over the coals. I cannot bring myself to wish ill on anyone, not even someone that betrayed me after a 28 year relationship. I'm sure glad I didn't wish ill upon this person as she is totally burnt and living a Private Hell.
I have always had this "thing" for helping others. There are quite a few people amongst us that can vouch for this statement. So, this year, in addition to what I have already done with and through my Brother Knights of Columbus, since so many cynical people are among us and seem to want Full Disclosure, I've made it real simple. Every item I auction over this coming weekend will go to my special cause through Council 12997, through my Grand Knight and my Pastor.
In our Fraternity (some of you might actually be shocked to learn that here among us are OTHER Knights of Columbus that KNOW and can vouch for the Fact that ALL KNIGHTS are Sworn to a Vow of Secrecy) JohnK and TexasT are BOTH Knights of Columbus. Did you know this? They are 2 very special men and I KNEW there was something a little "different" about them however, Mojoman can vouch for what he has come to learn about me, too, first-hand.
I have NOT asked anyone for so much as one thin Dime, nor do I intend to but KNOW THIS: There are others here with hearts of Gold whose Names I will honor by keeping them anonymous. They are REALLY CLOSE AT HAND!
They gave without asking for anything in return and they could care less about "Full Disclosure." The demographics of our Council, 12997 is indeed very broad. Within the Council are some very powerful men such as our Parish (County) District Attorney, Attorneys, CPAs, very wealthy men that donate tens of thousands of dollars for this same Charity that some of the so-called "Elite" among us questioned, and they do so without so much as batting an eye. One Fellow Knight wrote a check for $10,000. He didn't ask questions because he KNOWS and SEES because he is on the Inside and just like me, he too learned a long time ago that Money doesn't matter when you live with the reality that Death could come any moment and there may not be a next breath/ a next heartbeat and under such conditions money means nothing and IS NOT the Measure of a Man.
OK, so I have actually said more than I meant to but NOTHING short of Death is going to stop ME from doing that which I am compelled to do every Christmas. It is too deeply ingrained into my very being. As such, I repeat, the proceeds from EVERY ITEM I auction over the next few days (most of which are MINE to do with as I damn well please) IS GOING TO BE GIVEN TO CHRISTMAS CHARITIES and my Deacon, my Pastor AND my Grand Knight ALL KNOW what the deal is, meaning that although I will personally hand over a certified Bank Check, I do not want ANY recognition nor do I want my Name mentioned or brought up in any Fashion.
I am going to donate the proceeds of MY listings to Charity and all the aforementioned have received a voucher from me and are authorized to distribute the funds to Toys for Tots, the St. Francis Diner, to the MOST needy in our area (this has already been done - all I need do now is auction my items and HERE is where YOU come in.
I am auctioning, among other things, 4 1963 US Proof sets (the coins are spectacular) AND INSIDE EACH SET WILL BE SOME FORM OF GOLD! EVERYONE THAT WINS ONE OF THESE SETS WILL RECEIVE AT LEAST A 24 KT (not layered) US GOV'T $20 GOLD ST. GAUDENS MINIATURE, BUT ONE PERSON WILL TAKE HOME A PAMP S A (SWISS) .9999% PURE GOLD INGOT CERTIFIED BY THE ASSAYER'S OFFICE BEARING CERTIFICATION NUMBER 507020. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.
ALL YOU NEED DO IS BID. THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE MINATURES MAY BE SEEN ON EVERY ONE OF THE PROOF SETS' ITEM DESCRIPTIONS AS CAN THE SPECS ON THE 2.5 GRAM PURE GOLD INGOT. IF YOU BELIEVE IN ME AND I SINCERELY HOPE YOU DO AS I HAVE TRIED MY BEST TO RUN OUR SWAPS EQUITABLY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.
If you want to help this cause and have a chance to win Gold (Who knows ... I may even place bonuses within ALL my listings, then help by bidding on all my items. Some items I have already sold to fellow members right here - OFF EBAY - those proceeds were included too). OK, so NOW you know.. Your bids and co-operation WILL BE greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas everybody and Happy New Year,
Special Thanks goes out to Mojo, LonelyP, Musky1011, JohnK, TexasT, eyoung429, MorganHunter2 and several more who I surely must be forgetting as I am now One eyed with a pounding Migraine headache.
It's been a heck of a day and it's like being on the clock 24/7. I sleep when I can catch a couple hours every now and then. Fact is, I just got back from a Dr. appointment FEW HOURS BACK/ SAT IN THE CHAIR FOR A MOMENT'S REST AND JUST WENT RIGHT OUT LIKE A LIGHT! Sorry about the caps. I'm bad for that and I DO apologize but I'm not going back to edit. (Uh-uh).
Those of you that I allow into My World are indeed, quite few. Trust is NOT an easy thing for me ... and with Good Reason (that's far enough!)
Anyway, I want to thank everyone here that's chosen to be a part of our little group of swappers. To me you guys are like Family. I have come to know most of you quite well.
Well, I suppose I should check on what's going on @ eBay and get busy listing but first I see that I've received a box from my swap partner. I'll check it in a bit but I'm sure that whatever he sent will be fine. Thanx Musky.
Y'all keep checking my eBay cause I intend to keep posting all the way thru the end of the year with everything going to our worthy little cause. Thanx for everything to everyone of you. I think I need some coffee.
Here is my update- ElKevvo and I have made our choices- sad part is on my end of things I can't locate an item in our agreed price range in this entire area- go figure california is not as hip with old stuff as you think.
I have to go outside the box on this one- I contacted a friend of mine who specializes in what elKev is looking for and he is going to assisit me in this endeavor.
I have to PM ElKev and let him know it will definitely be after Xmas from my end (my friend is in Hawaii as a treat from his ol lady, wish mine did that to me) so in the spirit of the Holidays and to our fellow swappers I wish you all good tidings and cheer and may the good Lord give to you Peace and Prosperity in the upcoming new year.
I am in the same boat as my swap partner, MorganHunter2, searching! It has been fun though and I have actually learned a couple things! I have a couple of things on the way via 3rd parties and will wrap this up this week if things go well. I have enjoyed the search!
I picked up a GREAT package, that was a purchase from Boom today at the PO. Was hoping that I could get my swap package at the same time. By the tracking info I think it should come today. but who knows.
(Old man) Look I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah”.
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
Package came in from Paul today . All I can say is WOW . I am going to have to send him another package to go along with the one I sent last week . Once again WOW!!
<< <i>Label/Receipt Number: 0307 0020 0001 0611 7385 Status: Delivered Your item was delivered at 1:00 PM on December 24, 2007 in ARVADA, CO 80003. >>
Well it looks like Bigtime36 got his package... Hope he liked it...
Merry Christmas everybody...

I had a swap package Christmas present in my mail box today. I picked it up on my way out, to be with my family, and opened it after getting home.
3 NICE Morgans, I haven't checked to see if the albums have empty holes as yet. 2 BU Jeffs from 1938-D + S. And a bonus 1960-P MS-70 1 step Jeff, INB certified, . Not a bad looking nickel, but MS-70???
I'm very happy with this swap.
UPDATE: My albums had empty spots for 2 of the Morgans, both 38s, And the 1960-P. I also liked that the INB slab was so easily opened.
PS. JP I know I was all over the place. But what did you like best?
(Old man) Look I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah”.
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
HUMMMM tough one Paul but I would say the Kookaburra . It's actually my first one . But I did need almost all of the other coins in the lot . I am very happy with the assortment.
Seems to be a real lack of information about the swaps, The grinch could not have struck everyone. "Show Us The Money (coins)"

I have to go outside the box on this one- I contacted a friend of mine who specializes in what elKev is looking for and he is going to assisit me in this endeavor.
I have to PM ElKev and let him know it will definitely be after Xmas from my end (my friend is in Hawaii as a treat from his ol lady, wish mine did that to me) so in the spirit of the Holidays and to our fellow swappers I wish you all good tidings and cheer and may the good Lord give to you Peace and Prosperity in the upcoming new year.
Just to update. The swap between Musky and me has been deemed mutually gratifying and a success.

3 NICE Morgans, I haven't checked to see if the albums have empty holes as yet.
2 BU Jeffs from 1938-D + S.
And a bonus 1960-P MS-70 1 step Jeff, INB certified,
I'm very happy with this swap.
UPDATE: My albums had empty spots for 2 of the Morgans, both 38s, And the 1960-P. I also liked that the INB slab was so easily opened.
PS.

I know I was all over the place. But what did you like best?
