Default you know I'm in!!

Phil -

You know I'm a hof "rookie" collector (whatever that means) as well. I've focused on trying to pick up some of the more difficult cards to start and will eventually pick up the "easy" ones later...

If you recall, my new year's resolution was to buy anything you were selling on the BST this year!

With the few you are sending me (plus ones I picked up from Dan P. - thanks Dan), I should be at about 48% complete...not yet reflected on my "website".

I think if I added the "easy" ones - - you know, the one's you can grab off ebay at any time - - I could get to 60-65% pretty quickly. The last 35% will be a b*tch, if not impossible.

But, as you and I discussed recently, IT'S NOT ABOUT COMPLETING THIS SET, IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY! There are so many cool items out there and the research and discovery is awesome. And as you know, your research has been VERY useful in at least knowing what items exist out there. I now know what to plug into google / ebay / auction house search functions!

Thanks again for all the great research and documentation for all to enjoy!
