Darrell, you got it.

So with that, that concludes the drafting.

Thick McRunfast will get both Star Co cards. I have already been in contact and he will be receiving some bonus cards (it will go beyond the 40 for getting "stuck" with the remaining item. In this case items.

Darrell, I already had a pile of cards for you, and I will be adding to that.

Everyone who is participating - please read the following carefully!

Thank you EVERYONE for your participation, anticipation, humor, and now, especially, your patience.

Just so you all understand, I'm looking through your want lists, collections, & profiles to see what you like to collect. If you're baseball only, you're not getting basketball. I'm essentially hand-picking your "other 39". Sometimes, I have a few from your want lists, or your favorite player(s). Sometimes, I'm taking a stab in the dark. But please understand, this takes time. I am currently working on #28 and the draft is done. 

I am then getting them in team bags, sandwiched between 2 old top loaders, and using some sticker scraps to keep things in place.

I want to get them all to the point where they are ready to go out (at least for the US ones). Then I will start packing them up, and slapping the postage on them. I will be doing it all through Paypal shipping, so I will have tracking numbers for everyone in the US. Please give me some time. Once I have payed for the shipping and get the tracking number, I will send you a PM with the link.

Again, thanks for participating in this. I doubt this will be the ONLY thing I do for my 40th anniversary, so keep an eye out for some other crazy fun. I'm having a lot of fun picking cards for you all. I'm hopeful you enjoy the surprise and suspense of the package.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate you on all of your awards for the past year on the TCDB, especially the MOY and most helpful both being deservedly so granted. What a fantastic way to kick off the new year and no doubt will (and already has) spawn others to do all they can to promote and continue the success of this site. Thanks for all the help you have provided me with in my inaugural year here and all that you do in the "background" that many members likely take for granted. Again, all the best to you as you continue to be exemplary in your conduct and generosity.

Thank you for the contest, Dan.  It was a lot of fun, and your generosity is appreciated by all.  Here's to 40 more years!

Dan, This was fun and I appreciate your efforts to include us in your celebration. God bless you for your generosity.

Dan,

Just echoing the thoughts from the members above.  Thank you for all that do, CHEERS!

Woo-hoo! 40th-place bonus cards.

Like others have mentioned, thanks very much for putting all the time and energy into this, Dan. It was fun.

Wow Dan. Thanks for all the great Phillies cards and thanks for including me in this fun event. I hope it as as much fun for you as it was for all who participated. On to the next 40 years of collecting or in my case maybe not quite that many more. You have inspired me and I am sure others to celebrate milestones like this. Thanks Again, John

Congrats on 40 years. I hit 30 this year. 

I would like to participate but there are days I cant even get on the internet 5-7 days straight because of my job ( no internet service)

That being said I wish you a great next 40 years and you do it even better than your past 40 years

kkRecieved the cards today

Jim
