Hi everyone
Well, the auction is totally over - I'm in the process of mailing out my lots - and want to take this moment to speak to you all.
First, your magnanimous donations and participation in the auction speaks volumes to the class of our forum. I'm sure you all know how Jay feels.
While Jay is in the midst of treatment which we're all aware is no picnic, he took the time to send me a Christmas gift. Thanx Jay!
Jay has sent "care packages" to others over the years - it's unparalleled by anyone's standards - as many can attest.
Now to my friends here.
Not only was your generosity quick to come - the response to your commitments was equally fast.
We collected $5193.26!
Moreover, some "rounded up" their payment to me and a few of you donated money without having won anything. Wow!
Here's a list of the donators of lots to the auction: (if I miss anyone, please PM me and I will inconspicuously add you to the list with my deepest apology)

So in conclusion - from the bottom of my heart - I say Thanx! And wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas.
Ya know? Sometimes I'll say - as others - "this place has changed."
Well, maybe the focus has changed, and we constantly get very nice new members but what doesn't change?
The fact that CU members are thoughtful and generous in a time of need.
And I hope that NEVER changes!

Sums it up pretty well Mike.
And great job taking this on once it snowballed.
Most importantly though, get well soon Jay!!!!
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
Great job, Mike.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Cheers, all, Merry Christmas, and get well soon, Jay.

Hope everyone has a great 2014 too
Thanks to all who helped out. I won't point out anyone specific as several preferred to be anonymous, but there were several that were quite generous!!!
<< <i>Additionally, $930.00 has been raised so far via: www.gofundme.com/HelpingJayW. I cut and mailed a check today to Jay and Carole for the total of $930.00. I covered the GoFundMe fees and added my $250 to match the first $250 in donations. Donations can still be made at the site and I will mail a check out weekly as funds come in...
