    Just got back into town and catching up on the boards to discover this very sad news.

    I dealt with Tim a number of times, all of them were great, and he never mentioned he was ill.

    I just sent a donation and my thoughts are with Tim's family in this difficult time.

    It's truly awful to lose someone, but especially during the holidays.

    Rest in peace, Tim.

    Randy's shakedown at the bar along with a couple other donations has pushed the total up to $3,725. I've got a busy day ahead of me, so I won't be able to check in very much today to make updates.

    Remember - tonight is the cutoff to get the money to Tim's family by Wednesday, so if you're planning to make a donation, please make it today.

    Thanks to EVERYONE for all of your generosity. This has gotten so much bigger than I ever expected.

    Yeah, at the beginning I was thinking about how cool it would be if we could put together about $500. This is awesome! The CU is one special place. image

    Wow, thanks Craig for doing this.

    Good for you.
  • I have a Mays lot for sale posted in the Vintage section.

    If it sells I'll donate $200 of the $500 price to the fund.

    put all the mays stuff on this thread with pics, sell em in a heartbeatimage
  • Here's my post from the Vintage B/S/T. I can only sell this as a lot. I travel a lot and don't have anyone to sort through the group at home and send out piecemeal. It's a good lot at a good price, lower than VCP average. $200 will go to the family when it sells, whether today or not. I'll get the address and make sure it gets there. Will also make sure the OP confirms and posts here for the buyers assurance. Thanks, Keith

    Edit - I can't spell.


    Time to sell off some of my collection to concentrate on only a couple sets and my new found love for fine guitars.

    This Mays lot includes some well centered examples which may prove to be "bumpworthy."

    Price reduced to $500 including shipping by Priority Mail. Packed up and ready for shipping now.

    Terms -

    1. Sold as lot only. Will not break this up. Work commitments severely limit my ability to sell individually at this time.

    2. Price is less than 85% of current VCP average and includes shipping. Therefore the price is firm.

    3. Payment by money order, check, or Paypal. For reference check my Ebay seller account - ubidnow2. I'll also be glad to speak on the phone with any seriously interested collector to work out the details.

    4. PM me here or e-mail to soflphillyfan email if interested.

    Thanks,
    Keith

    Keith, that's a great looking lot! I hope someone takes you up on the deal.

    The sale may be in the works. Waiting for confirmation.

  • The Mays lot is sold!!!

    $300 dollars has been donated to the Mastin family.

    The buyer (hope he does not mind me mentioning his ID) OckhamsRazor, added another $100 to the sale and asked that it be forwarded on.

    A great effort by all. Such a great bunch here.

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

  • PM sent, and I'll also throw this card up for the next person that makes at least a $25 donation. It is a custom cut auto of Franco Harris, it measures 3" x 5". I have not finished the back yet, but will do so immediately following the holidays so that I can get it shipped out next week.

    It's just about MNF kickoff, but I'm going to extend the deadline until the end of the game. There are a few people who inquired about making a donation but haven't done so yet, so I want to give them a little extra time to get in on this.

    Let's ALL take advantage of this "overtime" to get this number to start with a 5.

    Thanks again to everyone for their generosity thus far!!
