Lost someone very close to me.......

[Old Mill Man]

I bought my first tobacco cards from my very dear friend Paul Pollard,I am not sure if anyone is aware that Paul Passed away in April and I am very shaken by the news.Paul got me started on the 206's,205's ,210's,211's,and it was with his help that I completed the T-210 set.I remember the first lot of T-210 cards that I got from Paul it was 125 diff. T-210 cards and one was Joe Jackson and one night I got the urge to call him again and I asked him if he had got any new 210's in he said well I am opening mail now and I see some T-210's so he was going through the names and I had my wantlist out,he says Jackson,I said what team New Orleans ,I want that one,yes but you already have that one I said yes and now I will have 2 and so I got that one for 100 plus other t-210's that night.It was so cool not knowing what the players image looked like,you just ordered so many cards got them in the mail and was like a child on Christmas eve.One thing I am happy is Paul completed his T-210 set as I had corresponded with him last year getting the Kelly-Mascot card.I am getting teary eyed as I write this but I just want to say to my friend,Paul I know you are listening and I enjoyed our deals and I love you as a brother.God bless and thank you all for taking the time to read this.Paul was a Hobby Icon but to me he was a close and very dear friend.
