My Boys and I started on our raw 1974-82 Topps Baseball set run (same sets I collected as a boy) with the help of fellow board member Duncan (packCollector) on Jan 9, 2007... some 2 1/2 years later and with the help of so many fellow board members (via purchases, trades & freebies), today we completed our goal.
The last two mailing arrived today... first, we received cards to complete our 1975 set, and a great 77 OPC Gary Carter card (now only need 7 cards) from Jim (Orioiles).
The second from Alex (al032184), who traded us the final card to complete our raw 1974-1982 Topps Baseball run, drumroll please... 1979 Topps Ozzie Smith!
My Boys and I want to thank all of the wonderful folks who helped us, we had a great time collecting these sets... now we just need to decide on adding either a 1973 or 1972 Topps raw set and complete our 1977 OPC set.
thanks again,
Mike & Boys

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Lee, I posted a nice photo of my 2 Boys and Baby Girl earlier this year for a contest and my Wife got really upset... I didn't think it was a big deal, but she feels otherwise about posted photos of our kids online. I'll take a few more and see if she changed her mind before posting.
Happy Collecting!

My Kids and I just watched "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" ...what a comedy classic and my kids loved it. There was a Cab scene involving a 10 cent tip by Sid Caesar and the Cab Drive rolled his eyes... all I could think of was, hey that's 2 wax packs (1961).
