Keith, like I said in my email to you, I am so very greatful for your kindness and generousity. Initially, I was a little reluctant to accept free cards from board members because I felt bad that others would have to take a hit to their collections on my behalf. But, after giving it some serious thought, I decided to accept. By NO means do I expect anyone to send me cards though. To anyone who does decide to, thank you so very much. |

I gave the stolen T210 Zimmerman to Ben in the first case, so I'll be glad to replace that. It won't be Zimmerman, but it will be comparable, and also Series 2 (Virgina league). |

I have duplicates of Chance and Carrigan in the E95 series that I would be more than happy to send to Ben. I would never want to be in his position. I am richer than I could ever imagine having a great wife, and beautiful son. Cards are fun, but they are just that, cards. |

Keith, when you get a chance, could you edit the Ramly Evers, Sawyer Biscuit cabinet, and the N173 Smith out of the list? A few of my cards were stored in a different box and manage to escape the big pinch, and the two cabinets were in that box. The Ramly Evers I sold just days before the theft. |

Eric, thank you for your kind gesture. Julie too, of course. I think there's been a slight miscommunication between us regarding the leader novelty and the W553, which I will address in a private email. |

I just started learning about vintage cards, so I have none of those to offer Ben, but if you want an '86 Donruss Jose Canseco Rookie Card I will send it to Julie no problem (I have 4 of them from my childhood collection) |

I know it's not much, but I just got back into collecting and I do not have any of the cards he lost. I do however, have an extra Matty W-514 SGC 40 I will gladly contribute. |

+ the Nadja Stone.<br />Although this is an accident of availability, I found when I had to sell practically all the valuable cards in my collection in 1989, I tended to avoid the ones I had in re-buying, even deciding I hadn't liked them as much as I thought. "The 1914 Cracker Jack Jackson looks like a wooden doll." "The E90-1 Jackson has a Hitler mustache (because of the red lips misplaced--and I HATE red lips on a bseball card)". "How can anyone buy a mint T206? They're bound to be trimmed" Probably all rationalization. |

A very impressive assortment; in fact, Ben insisted on keeping two in their graded holders (the traitor!). Barring unexpected ones, or another that may be coming in a week or rwo, that's it. |

I'd like to send out one final "thanks" to everyone who sent cards my way. While the void of my stolen collection still stings and will never be forgotten, the generousity people displayed here reminded me what collecting is all about, and has inspired me to ocme back to the hobby I love (albeit in a lesser capacity the second time around). THANK YOU! |

his entire collection got stolen. At first we all looked dilligently on ebay for his cards, and then Keith (see top of thread) suggested we replace some of them ourselves. I think we sent very few actual replacements, but some really nice stuff and some really weird stuff. |

How dare Ben let his cards get stolen, i mean the nerve... (JUST KIDDING!!!!), i'll see what i can do.... i wouldn't cross my fingers, we don't have that many duplicates and those that we do have duplicates for are because they're not that nice or something is wrong with them. Certainly nothing too wierd .... maybe i'll send him my E90-1 Jackson... |
