As most of you know, I collect the C56 hockey set. It is the first hockey set, issued in 1910-11. Cards are similiar to the t206 cards. Anyway, I needed 7 commons (not that common, actually, as the cards are hard to find) to complete the set. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call from a dealer telling me that he was shipping out to me the 7 cards that I needed. Apparently, a number of posters and lurkers from the board got together and decided to get me a farewell present after my time as moderator. Not sure, if they were just thankful to see me go.

I just wanted to thank everybody who contributed for the thoughtful, generous and unnecessary present. It was a blast being moderator of the board, and I certainly didn't expect to receive anything for something that I enjoyed. I think this just goes to show what a wonderful community we have.

thanks again

P.S. A special thanks to Lee Behrens for organizing things.
