I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, just wasn't sure where to do it.
I don't typically like to share a lot of personal stuff on the boards that I'm on, like to keep it fun, and about cards. But, I'm looking to pick up some St. Louis Cardinal cards, specifically Yadi and Carlos Martinez stuff.
Some friends of mine, Jon and Jen Self of Springfield, IL have a son Tyler who is 9. I will tell you, this is the strongest kid I have ever met in my life. When he was 3, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He battled that for 2-3 years and beat it. It was a tough road for the family but we all thought he was in the clear. Things were good and got back to normal. This past February, he was diagnosed with leukemia and the outlook wasn't good. They gave him about a month. Obviously this news was a shock and completely devastating. As a parent, I can't begin to imagine what they were going through, or any other parent of a child with cancer. He began chemo and then underwent a bone marrow transplant. After his release from the hospital in St. Louis, they spent 3 months living there so he would be close for appointments, etc. He was recently released to come back home to Springfield and things are looking positive at this point but he is a little limited in what he can do or people he can be around, etc...at this point. He is a big Cardinals fan(why I have no idea, lol) and his favorite players are Carlos Martinez and Yadier Monlina. I'm tying to get together a bunch of cards to take to him to give him another thing to do. I am a little limited I what I have for newer stuff but am pulling together any cardinals stuff that I have.
I would be interested in any lots that people might have available. Regular cards, game used, oddball stuff, etc. Please let me know what you might have and how much you want for it.
I would really appreciate any assistance!
Thanks guys!!
