Default Big thanks to Net54 member frankbmd

While I haven't met any of you in person, I've had the pleasure of talking with, buy from and trading with a number of members since I joined Net54. Most recently, frankbmd. I first purchased a few sets from the 80s for my son Maddux from him via the buy/sell/trade forum a month or two back. Just today I received a second box of cards for him. Frankbmd really went above and beyond, and my son couldn't believe the giant box of cards he got in the mail. While my love has been the T206 monster, I want to share the magic of collecting cards with my son. As you can see from the smile on his face, he's loving it! I've thanked him privately, and I'll do it again here. Thank you from me and Maddux!

Rich

Great Stuff...that's what collecting is all about! Who says kids aren't in the hobby anymore? Thats an experience father / son will remember for a long time.

Good to see. I don't know the board member personally, but bravo.

Hank

Not having a very good start to my day, but seeing that little one smiling brought out a chuckle. Thanks Frank.

Wow! What a surprise. Thank you all very much.

To tell the truth though, I do not belong on any list that includes Mother Teresa , but my TTM autograph rates are competitive.

Class act all the way, and probably our funniest member! Anyone who collects T206's.....the Neal Ball card......last week Frank referred to it as "Neal Ball, holding an egg". Don't ask why, but it still makes me laugh thinking about it a week later! It would probably even be a fun new thread; re-naming some of the T206's....

I've had the pleasure of having lunch with Frank one fine afternoon in northern WI. And we also completed a fairly sizable trade.

He's a greay guy and an asset to this site. Mostly for his great sense of humor.

Worth more than one thousand words. Way to go, Doc. Can I at least refer to you as Father Teresa?

Way to go Frank!!! Makes me look forward to collecting with my son when he gets old enough! It's great to know there are still "good guys" out there in this hobby!!

I aspire to do great / nice things too! For the kids, that is! Some day...at least it's on my "to do" list!

I agree with all the positive Frank references, just by reading his posts (they typically crack me up!!

I just need to know if he is a SGC 10, a PSA 10 or a BCCG10 ?

Not really, but you should see my wife.
