side note...brought this up last year..but a good a time as any. Each year during this time i go to Dornbeckers children hospital here in Portland,OR (I live over the bridge in Vancouver,WA) and i give out baseball packs to the boys... and i usually can finds some kind of cards for the girls. I just got married this year for the first time at age 52 and now get to bring my wife (an RN) with me.
I have been doing this solo for over 20 years since my step-sister lost her baby when he was less than 1 with a hole in his heart. I saw the faces of other children there and it kills me to see kids in such pain. When i lived in California i would go to UC Irvine Children Hospital and since the move..now it is Dornbeckers. Both hospitals do tremendous work there. Nothing like a child's smile.
Jay--my wife (Teri) and i will be praying for you and may 2014 be your year to beat cancer!!
Can I assume you can use packs, cellos, or rack packs from some of the members? If so, why don't you post an address where we can send you some to give out.

Brian...thanks for kind the offer. I am stocked already for this year. Being a Military Veteran, I know you can look up some fine organizations and one that i give to is www.thankmilitaryfamilies.com. You basicly can adopt a family for Christmas. Very coooooool!!
I have a son following my footsteps (except i was Army) graduating in May from the Air Force Academy.
I'll PP later this afternoon and great job to all that participated!
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Lot # 46 paid! Thanks again to all who coordinated this and may God bless Jay and his family through this time. Merry Christmas to all of you and thanks to all who participated.

Lot #47 paid for. Mike, thanks for coordinating this. Although I have never interacted with Jay, I have had family with cancer and I know what it can do not just to you physically, but your pocketbook as well. Glad he has a friend like you.
JOB WELL DONE GUYS! With all the differences people have on these boards at times, it just shows that when a fellow member is in need we can put those differences to the side and come together as a group to help.
MIKE ... awesome job.
JAY ... as I have said to you in private, if you ever need to speak with someone I am here for you.
ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS ... GOD BLESS and wishing each of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
STAY HEALTHY!

Mike- I sent one payment for lots 2,5,14,19,29 I'll let the AH know to pay you directly.
To Everyone- I spoke to Jay again yesterday, and he and Carole are incredibly grateful for everyones generosity and thoughtfulness. Even good insurance can leave a family financially devastated when fighting a battle like this, and every bit helps. Really a great bunch of people on this board, and a huge thanks to JP at Memory Lane for his contribution and especially Joe Orlando and CU for his.
Towards that end, just wanted to point out Jay's site, should anyone be looking for cards in the coming days and weeks. Great service from one of the truly good guys. Quality Cards

Anthony thanks for the testimonial as you are one of the good guys in the hobby & a true friend.
I will be shutting down my eBay store today and my website in a few days. If I do it a day before I'm hospital bound I cannot respond if there are any questions or problems. So I'd rather be safe then sorry and have all the eBay & website orders dlvd before my extended hospital stay. Again, thanks to everyone involved in this fund raising drive, it makes us feel good during these trying times. Happy Holidays! ...jay

Just caught this thread. As a person who has a family member battling cancer and going through chemo every penny helps expecially when travel is involved. We have had people give gifts of gas cards, hotel rooms and everything in between. Bravo Mike and everyone who helped make this happen.
Winnings shipped via Priority Mail. I refuse to ship the Brodeur lot, however . . .
And don't forget, if you would like to make an additional donation, you can do so at: www.gofundme.com/HelpingJayW! We're at $305 and I've matched the first $250, so we're up to $555.00. With your help, we can make it more. I will send the first total donation to Jay after this weekend. Thanks to those that have made donations!!!
And a hearty THANK YOU to Mike for getting this started and taking care of everything after it snowballed...
Sorry, will get my payment out very soon...just arrived back in China from 4 days of hell sorting through 6 months of purchases. Guess, I get to keep my "shamoo" rookie unfortunately.

<< <i>thenavarro has paid in full for the 100 consignments via Probstein123 >>
Thanx Mike - it's been marked as paid.
Please PM me full info to give to Rick - I'm sure he knows you but just want to make sure.
Please send your payments as a DONATION - otherwise ebay is deducting fees.
If mine comes up a couple of dollars short let me know. I went directly on Paypal and saw nothing about "donation".

edit: If I missed your high bid? Please let me know - I tried my best to keep up with all the bids. Thanx!
Just an update
Most of you have paid and I'll post on the final along with contributors and stuff.
You would appreciate the fact that some have donated without being involved in the auction - and I'll post on that later.
Plus! Some have rounded "up" their lot(s) and offered more money.
Now - for those who have donated LOTS? Please note your winners that have been marked PAID and get with them for shipment.
If anyone has any difficulty getting this to work? Please PM me and I'll help. Shouldn't be a problem.
Those who have won my lots? I'll be getting these items out by the end of the week.
Thanx again!
edit: this is what we have so far: PayPal balance: $4,358.26 USD - we should collect about another $7-800.
