To you; what is the most enjoyable part of the hobby

[FrankWakefield]

ditto that.

Sometimes I'm able to give someone something they've been after for a while... And sometimes a card I've sought just appears in the mail. It is like having angels out there.

Once in a while someone can enlighten you on the nuances of a set, stuff that the guides and the magazines miss... there are some great guys out there. Many don't post here, they don't even look here. Still waters run deep...


Like how years ago I met Rich Klein when he was attending a Diamondbacks game with Lew Lipset. I was at the game, and went down to meet Lew, whom I'd known through letters and the telephone for years... Rich was with Lew. And years later, Rich and I realized that we'd met... (Jose Jimenez no hit the Diamondbacks, and won, 1-0, beating a dominate Big Unit, who allowed a broken bat single to drive in a run in the 9th). Hey Rich!
