New Quest-A tribute

Doing some trading on diamond giveaway yesterday got me to thinking.  I haven't put together a set in a long, long time.  Had some offers of 1969 cards on there.  I like the look of the set.  As I thought more about it, I researched the set and there are some toughies in there!  The Reggie Jackson rookie and Year 2 Nolan Ryan.  However, 1969 has a special meaning to me.  I wasn't even born until 1979 but my brother was born in '69.  He passed away last year.  He never really got into cards.  I think if I put this set together it would be a nice tribute to his memory and it would help keep in my thoughts when I'm working on my hobby.  I'm gonna do it all by trade, not gonna spend a dime.  Thats my quest- Complete the 1969 Topps Baseball Set completely by trade- no $$ spent.  Gonna be a tough one but lets give it a twirl.  Starting out I have 0 Cards except for the two I traded for on the diamond giveaway.  If you have any 69's you can part with and would be willing to trade for team lots of your favorite squad, please shoot me a PM or message and help me with this project.  God Bless

Special thanks for SanJoseFuji

Received a very nice package from my bud Mark, aka San Jose Fuji.  Some old school Braves that went right into my PC Braves binder.   Most importantly to me though was the San Jose Fuji Trademark card-autographed and personalized to me.  Thanks again bro.

Summer of Giving-25,000 Card Giveaway

Some of you may be aware of my Pay it Forward Card Project.  For the last couple of years, I have sent cards from my collection to team and player collectors that could hopefully use them in their pc.  I have been sorting cards for a while now and I'm ready to kick it up to a whole 'nother level.  Starting this week, I'm going to be sending out cards in my Summer of Giving.  From April 5th-October 5th I'm going to be sending out packages and blogging my progress here!  My goal is to send out 25,000 cards between now and October.  Contest coming soon!  So........I have a few buddies who I know what to send but what do you collect-looking for some recipients!
