CONGRATS! TO RUBE (THINK HE PICKED EVERY NUMBER BUT #5? LOL!) - THANKS TO EVERYONE!

rbdjr1

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION IN THIS CONTEST! IT WAS FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

Orioles won with #5, and I'm sure he will love this card! (he loved it soooooooo much he auctioned it off to rube LOL!, and I'm 100% sure Richard will be thrilled with it! Congrats!)



This beautiful 1971 CFL OPC #53 Mike Law is the only PSA 10 in this series (656 cards have been graded in this set!)



Here's the deal and the rules!

You will have a chance to win this rare card tonight for just $10 (100% of proceeds will go to Tim's family!)

Rules:

1. PM'd Craig (gumbyfan) a number from 1 to 25.
2. Contest is limited to 25 players (you can buy more than one chance, if you desire!).
3. Just post here that you want to enter and pick a number from 1 to 25 (please check to see if your number is still available).
4. Once we have 25 entrants, I will close the contest.
5. All $10 payments must be paid tonight (by the end of Monday Night Football).
6. Once all payments are received, the winner will be posted here!

Good luck and have some fun! It will create $250 for Tim's widow and three children. My heart broke when I read Tim's story.

So come on and participate!

Think Richard donated soooooooooooooooooo many times I couldn't type his numbers fast enough. Geeeee! With rube's contributions, he could have bought season tickets to see the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos!

I will also take 18 if possible and send some extra dollars too, I have been in the middle of moving from Texas to Florida and didn't see all of this until recently.

We are all fortunate individuals and that PM that Danny (OsClabs) shared about Tim talking about his family shows he had a warm heart, and that is one of the best attributes in a person in my opinion.

Oh Yeah, you are still number 1 in my book Matt, and hello

Bob - thanks for the card. PM sent. It was very generous of you to offer the card.

drewsef

<< <i>congratulations to orioles, Awesome generosity rbdjr1 >>



It was all you guys who showed generosity with all those donations!

All I did is supply a piece of cardboard in a plastic coffin

Just knowing how wonderful it will be when Tim's family receives Craig's express package, makes it all worthwhile.

CONGRATS TO ALL OF US!


p.s. and a special thanks rube for taking turns with me, bumping another donation thread for 2 straight days, over on the U.S. Coin Forum board. man-o-man, you are too much! Some "coin guys" also "kicked-in" some bucks (via craig) and most of them "never even heard of tim", they were really cool. ~ thanks rube!

Also: I understand rube just might need to take out a second mortgage for all the donations he made to Tim's family! Wow!

Blackborder

Rube bought the Law card from Orioles, pushing us over 5k

rube26105

nah-rube is retired and sitting good in a dark hollow

HeritageAddict

All I can say is wow, the way the board members pulled together for a good cause is very impressive. May you all have an extra special Christmas.
