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)

<< <i>Take a piece of nylon stocking and rub it across the gum/wax stain. >>
but first, put the card in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cardboard backs on 70's though, that stuff embeds there, should expect still (ST). At least in my lame attempts.

***WOW WOW WOW***
another #79 Red Sox Rookies (FisK) - this one is DEAD Centered . This has a legitimate shot at a 10 and I think it's a surefire 9. Scan coming
are you checking the packs for stars showing before opening? You might want to save a few if you already pulled that star.
Thanks for sharing, John
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
#241 Rollie Fingers - Nicely centered, gum card! I could see the #241 and looked in the SMR to see if it was a star and it doesn't list Fingers, damnit! Would have kept that one sealed.
