Something I have found I enjoy in my time away from the blogosphere is TTM game. At times I won't send any out for months and then I will go on a sending spree. I recently sent out a bunch and received one back today. Enjoy your Thursday!

The Return
2828 days is a long time. That is the amount of days since I closed my AREA 40 BLOG which was previously my WILLINGHAMMER RISING BLOG that was originally my first blog JAYBARKERFANS JUNK. After all this time I have experienced a lot of life-remarried to a beautiful amazing wife, experienced a serious health episode, transitioned into semi-retirement, and welcoming a grandbaby into our world. Hearing the recent news that we lost blogger hiflew from Cards from the Quarry saddened me but it also stirred me to revive my page. My goal is to use this page as I originally intended all those years ago as a vehicle to spread cards and good vibes. I think as I ease back into the swing of things I will offer a card up weekly to anyone who would like it in their collection. So let's give this a try. If you want the below card sent to you leave a comment to claim. First comment to claim the card gets it. Contact email is lifebythedrop79@yahoo.com
Much love to everyone and enjoy the World Series!

CLOSING TIME
Well, the time has come. The final mega break packages made it to the post office today.
Today is the last blog post I will be making. It's also the end of my active trading career. I will be on twitter and I will still be collecting just in a much more subdued manner with a much smaller subject base. Only going to be pursuing a couple of pcs-Willingham 1/1s, Mike Wilks jersey cards, Steve Woodard and Gary Redus certified autos, and certified pro wrestling auto cards.
Maybe down the line some of my trading buddies may see a surprise package from good ole jbf- ya never know. I want to thank everyone for the support and interaction over the years. Wish you all the best in your collecting journey! Please hit the lights on your way out.

Wrap Up Time
The AREA 40 megabreak has now come to a close. I must say it was more of a daunting task than I imagined but still a ton of fun! Hundreds and hundreds of packs later and we have ended up with 351 hits. Kudos to our winner Adam Sanders who almost nailed it on the head!
Sorting is now complete and packaging is next. I hope to start mailing next week. I thought a good way to wrap this up might be to share some of the best hits and where they are headed. Everyone that signed up will receive a package and I'm proud of that! Buckle up for the top 15 imho that are headed into the blogosphere!
