Yep, it's how I liquidated all my high grade Mantles years ago!
Those were truly awesome times here and I miss them!!
PLEASE be sure to include the classic "sent...does not suck"!! Sadly I only get SSDI/SNAP every month and I still got to finish paying down my credit card so I personally won't be able to join in...and why I haven't for years
My favorite SS is that one year I drew a guy who wanted Mark McGwire cards and I drew inspiration from this moment where Don West from Shop-At-Home said "well what's the big deal about this card" and Don shouted "It's a [shown below]!" So I got him (I think) graded 1987 Fleer and 1987 Topps McGwires. Well what kind of cheapskate are you, you might be asking...well you see I made sure they were this kind!

A gift from me to you.
I ran one of the early years events, and participated in several others. Always was a good time!
Would you run it one more time?
Man, I don't think I have it in me to run it.
This and group breaks. Those were the days!!

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way

I never participated, but always enjoyed watching the breaks and SS every year.
I also LOVED watching the big 12 days of Christmas unopened that one member posted every year. Those were great threads
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I miss them too!
I participated in those early on. It was a wonderful experience. Lawnmowerman and his wife organized them on multiple occasions.
There was some real camaraderie going on for a stretch to make all this happen. I was not sure what was going on recently, though.
