A big thanks to Cincyredlegs.

I have participated in several group rips here on the boards and because of this I have several shelves of unopened product of which 90% is from here. I can only imagine what work goes into a thread, keeping track of all those packs, and the occasional retraction, which I'm sure adds to the chaos. Cincyredlegs has asked for nothing in return other than "Just the fun of it" and I respect that, as he wants to help others fill their "Shelves" with cards they might not have a chance to own.

In the middle of all of this he came to me and stated that he knew I needed/wanted a 1980 Topps cello box (Empty), so I may house my cellos. He sent this to me recently and I just want to say thanks a million, so...

I just got off the phone with Steve @ BBCE and put $25.00 on credit for Cincy for all of the help he has given to me as a collector. This is my small way of saying thanks for the box, and thank you very much for organizing the group rips!

Thanks Cincyredlegs!

Paul.

Excellent gesture.

Paul,

Dude, thank you very much. I wasn't expecting anything in return. I was just looking to help a fellow collector/friend out. The group breaks are a little work but the enjoyment I get from them (deciding with everyone what to rip, seeing if we can out do the last break, all the new members we have attracted to the group breaks, seeing what everyone gets) far out weighs the work.

Thanks again Paul and you my sir, are a class act.

Can you make one demand if joining your group rips. That all must actually RIP THEM ! Disappointing to see all those say '"i'm going to keep it sealed' What's the firggin point there.

Just kidding on that being your concern. I want to be in on the next one and yes, any/all packs will be OPENED LIKE A MAN !

I also second everyone opening all their packs--the more vintage unopened getting opened, the scarcer and more valuable my packs become..

edit to add: Great gesture, mark!

now you sound like an oil tycoon dancing when Kuwait oil tanks were on fire. LOL j/k

I enjoy opening packs far more than keeping them sealed. But I have been collecting packs recently, so there is its own thrill in that.

I plan on opening some pack, I just don't touch them until its time to submit some. I also wait usually until a $5.00 or less special.

Sorry, but thats me.

Paul.
