A few Thanks

When you have been going to the same shows,swaps,fleas and sales for as many years as I have you get to know everyone who does the same. I have a great group of fellow collector and friends out there which make the whole adventure that much more fun. The thrill of the hunt and stories of who got what or who missed that are told all thru the morning as we all pass each other while running around in the pre-morning darkness looking for that killer find either for ourselves or a potential buyer down the road. I look back at the past 27 years and man there were some great things found by everyone over the years. I think sometimes that we all have a lucky streak here and there which makes most of us happy for our finds and also for a fellow collectors score. The fact that everyone gets a find out there shopping keeps us all heading out at the crack of dawn every weekend. The next few days I want to thanks a few friend for small gifts the have found for me.

Thanks Eric for this Rocket card


Thanks Dan & Steve for these Space cards
