I could picture you joining in 1999, yet still waiting until September of 2001 for the site to actually start. Unless you were around on the fullcount board JV? I don't think you were there...

turner, adam, jantz......
I owe all three of you big time for a big card in my collection.....it's guys like you that make a little bird like me grab a worm.....your kindness and not taking advantage of a passionate collector still resonates in my head....i have three of your backs always! just recently jantz you put me on that card that got pulled, i didn't get it, waiting for it to be listed i hope....but that split piedy 42 is still one of my favorites....and turner, the sick 4 back polar bear, you did me right on that card, another favorite of mine.....adam, u did me a solid i don't think i ever could repay your kindness to me
THERE IS SO MUCH CARDBOARD CANDY IN THIS THREAD I THINK I"m BLIND!!! I WANT THEM ALL!!LOL This Is a dream thread for me, thanks for getting it going Wonka |
