Default Thank you Gary.

I know this has happened before so nothing new, but I felt compelled to publicly thank Gary (111gecko) for his generosity. I recently posted that I needed some cards to complete my 1961 set and Gary pm’d me that he had several I was looking for. Gary asked for nothing but my address to send me the cards, which he did. With the negative stories we deal with in our hobby so often, I felt telling a small story of the generosity that still exists was worth a few minutes. Thanks again Gary!

Leon, if you feel this is in the wrong section please move, since it all started in the BST I thought I'd post it here.

Yes, I think it was in the wrong section (BST). Gary sounds like one of the good guys and I want to personally thank him too. We need more good guys in the hobby.

Very nice of you, Gary. And kudos to Bill for recognizing him.

There are a lot of good people in this hobby, and on this forum.
