Auction excitement (for some)

[Leon]

Positive thoughts always help, Leighton. Thanks for sharing them and being part of the community.
Well wishes your way till we meet again (hopefully soon).

OBC guys gave me this several years back as they knew I loved the card. I still cherish it.

We have a son, Crosby, who is 5 with a very rare medical condition...we could have to go the hospital with him at any time, day or night (and of course we are petrified of having to do that with everything going on). We took one day at a time before this and are most certainly doing that now. My suggestion is try to do the same if possible and soak it all in...be appreciative for what we have each and every day, every meal, every laugh, every cry and organize your baseball card collection to your hearts content I try to minimize the amount of media I consume daily and make sure I have plenty of baseball card stuff to do!

We should not feel alone or keep our feelings inside. We all have the collecting bug or we wouldn't be part of this community....use this group as a distraction and let's help out other collectors...like if you never owned a T206 card or a 1952 Topps card be the 1st to message me and I'll send you one from my collection...I'm sure you'll pay it forward in the future...give someone a better deal than usual this weekend on a card and brighten their day....make a trade like I used to do when I was 12 all the time and be ok that the other side got the better end of the deal...but most of all try and stay positive because it really helps

Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and anyone else who is on the front lines of this trying to protect our society.

In 1960 Burdick wrote that a card collection is "a magic carpet that takes you away from work-a-day cares to havens of relaxing quietude where you can relive the pleasures and adventures of a past day—brought to life in vivid picture and prose."

if ever we needed a pleasant diversion from daily cares it is now. Do yourself a favor: once a day pull an album and sit quietly looking through it.

Adam- Did one better than that ... bought an obscure exhibits card on eBay yesterday for a whopping $18! Some non baseball Dude I never heard of.
