How many OBC member do we have here?

[hoot-owl]

Not much else to add that hasn't already been said. A great group of folks interested in the history of baseball and old cardboard. A group of guys and gals that enjoy tracking down the last card you might need for a set--or the elusive short-print for an obscure set you might be working on. You have to love NCAA pools and Super Bowl pools where the winners receive cards.

A ton of knowledge across a wide spectrum of the hobby--pre-war, regionals and food issues, variations, you name it there is an industry expect in the group. Some OBC friendly dealers do occasionally provide boxers of beaters to be distributed to the larger group.

I agree with Josh, Geno, Grant, Bob, and the other guys who are also members of this board. Long-term friendships that go beyond cardboad with folks with with common interests. It doesn't get any better.
