Default Thank you Leon

Probably not said enough, but thank you Leon for running this three ring circus. Day in and day out. Lots of craziness in the course of a year to deal with, and I am sure there are many days where I can't believe it's worth the aggravation. But thanks for hanging in there and running a site that provides a good deal of pleasure to many of us. An escape from other things in the world. And an invaluable resource tool. Thank you.

I echo what the previous posters wrote. I appreciate that Leon is so vigilant about booting out scammers and keeping this a safe place to buy, sell and trade.

I barely have a vintage or pre-war collection. I acquire a low-cost old card about once a year. But I check in on this site nearly every day and have since I found it thirteen years ago. Thanks, Leon. -George

I agree with everyone else. In fact, nearly all of my graded HOF cards, most of which are pre-war, have been obtained right here (not to mention sales transactions as well). Thanks so much, Leon!

Leon, everyone has said it much better than I could. The first thing I do every morning is come to the site and read. I enjoy the fact I have been able to learn so much from so many people and learn more everyday. After all these years, I recently started reading, every day, the Watercooler and Chat forums. You have, as said earlier, produced a site that brings enjoyment and pleasure to many people and not very many sites can say that. Thank you very much and I wish you a very Happy New year.

This is the best running forum I have ever been a part of. I'm on here, at a minimum, 20 times a day reading posts, even though I'm mainly a game used collector. What's most impressive about Leon is how patient and fair he is with people. We all have our bad moments, but Leon's not quick to judge and he involves members in helping him make some decisions in order to be fair. This is what keeps me wanting to be a part of this forum. I just wish I collected what you all collect, so I could be more involved. Great job Leon!!!

You're welcome, guys. It is our members that make this place what it is, not any kind of management.

But, It's truly my pleasure to be able to run it (with some technical help). I definitely make mistakes but always want the best for the forum and try to be fair.

Thanks to all members and happy holidays!

and a BST pick up from a few years back...

Been on the board since 2004! My collection or knowledge or enthusiasm for collecting pre war wouldn't be anything that it is without this board and the great people I've interacted with here!

I'm not so sure thanks are in order here...

If it wasn't for Leon and his pre-war henchmen I would probably have a remodeled kitchen and had a shiny new truck in the driveway, instead I have 3 suitcases of cardboard pictures depicting deceased men in uniform.

Seriously, thanks Leon for keeping the inmates from running the asylum, it's a one of a kind place and a very special community.
