I returned from a three day trip and had 9 packages waiting for me, several of them PIFs from Database members:

bobfetta, thanks for the car cards!

Thick McRunfast, thanks for the Beckett Hockeys! My first from the title, I look forward to reading them.

sumboy11, thanks for the bonus cards in our trade!

PapaG, thank you for the great old photo included in our trade! I don't know if I told you that I collect old photos of automobiles besides those on cards so that is perfect for me!

I also recieved a 20 pound box of cards from ShoeboxLegends, who runs a blog of the same name and has a goal to have the most Whalers cards on the Database.

I also recieved two PIFs from my model building friends that I want to mention- some football and baseball from the 70s that one of my friends inherited, and from another friend, a factory sealed factory set of 1993 Maxx (my most wanted factory set) and at least 150 cards from the 1953-54 Topps World on Wheels set, among other things!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Thank you very much mike

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped and summer was gone.”
― A. Bartlett Giamatti

A big thank you to Bounty13 for the extra Browns cards that he threw in with the other cards that I bought from him. And this was after he gave me a good deal on the cards that I bought. Much appreciated! Angus

Nick has a way of doing that (It's Astros and Berkman with me). I believe he's a saint.

Coming home after 5 days away, there were packages to go through. All seemed normal except one.

It took a few times throught the "in progress" list to find this one. There were only five cards slated to come to me.

But a one inch thick stack of Jays came with it.

A huge thank you to Euklid, very generous!!
