I just wanted to thank Al (bishop) for his generosity. He had a full set of over 200 horse racing jockey cards laying around and offered them up for shipping only. There were no takers right away, so I contacted him since a business associate is an ex-jockey. So big shout out to Al for allowing me to put a smile on a friend's face early in this New Year!

    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

    Al (bishop) has my respect as well. I'll never forget his willingness to trade me his 1954 Topps/Canadian Ed Mathews (grey back) card (one that I will never sell). Took me a very long while to find one.

    Super great guy and super great gesture.

    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.

    Al is one of the finest gentleman I've had the pleasure of meeting, in or out of the hobby.
