Shoutout to Mountaineer1999

[Matvoo]

Thank you so much for this freebie. First t206 card.

[mrvster]

This is what collecting is all about! that card will be priceless to you one day

[Mountaineer1999]

Your welcome Matthew. Glad to do it. When I got my first little ragged T206 in the mail I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Surviving 100 + years is no small feat. Only the good Lord knows where all that card has been and who it's owner's were.

Enjoy

Yep hopefully more kids my age join so we can keep our hobby longer

[mrvster]

I respect you guys! us "veterans" will hand down the torch to you......it's your "job" if you chose, to keep our great hobby/ past time alive

without a future, there would be no hobby.....

hopefully the progression will be from modern to vintage...

and baseball in general to remain as popular as it is...

us "veterans" and collectors in general are basically just "borrowing" the item until it is passed down.....


I look to you younger collectors as our true hobby future.....please keep our hobby thriving!

Well Todd Marcum sent me a 206 card right after I joined the community so I wanted to pass it forward to Matthew because of how much I appreciated it.
Then ZachS went above and beyond and sent me a very nice little nugget. There are some really good people and collectors on this board and I just want everyone to know that their time and generosity is greatly appreciated.

This is why our hobby deserves to stay alive as long as possible. Non greedy, kind and considerate people like you. And hopefully in the future I can give back to the community

After seeing some of the complaints on this board about readers sabotaging eBay buys and auction houses run amok, I'm glad to see a "balancing the ledger" transaction/post.
