Ok, been really busy but I can't hold this in... The generosity from you guys on this thread has absolutely floored me. I'm speaking to Phillies Joe and Bill Menard. I received 2 large bubble mailers over the weekend packed with some absolutely awesome cards!

I mean really? I literally felt like a kid getting the "big" hit from opening a pack.
I am not worthy of this thread... I feel so thankful for all of these cards. Thanks again Phillies Joe and Bill Menard!

I am happy to hear they arrived and are helpful to your collection! Like Joe said, and I have been a believer of with threads like these for many years, the best part of them is seeing and hearing about what others are getting and how much they enjoy what they get for a surprise in the mail. I couldn't send everyone relics and autos b/c I just don't have them for all things collected by members of the thread but when I do have something nice just lying around, I'm happy to give to others!

Continue the generosity forward! It keeps some of the fun in the hobby and collecting in a day and age where that part of it is in heavy competition with making money and turning the hobby into a lottery.

Glad the relic made it Doc...more stuff will go out to all as it is found and dug out. Actually just a question. I mailed the Docs out about 5 days after my other envelops/bubbles. Have most of you got something with a Canadian stamp? i know the border can mess things up timing wise sometimes but Phillies_Joe and the Doc are the only ones that have posted something coming from me and I'm getting worried that something may have happened at the PO as many others should have arrived to you all about a week ago. --Ryan

Ryan, you may have sent to me and I may have received and forgot to post. The first two packages we got my kids and I ripped through in excitement and split the cards up into our collections really quick! I think I did post what was in them both, but forgot to mention who they were from. One was from Phillie Joe, but I can't recall other, though I think the envelope was from Canada.

Reading and re-reading this thread, and all I can think is " Xmas in August!"
Everyone is just so incredibly generous!
Here's my bounty, from my earlier post. Sorry I combined Ryan P. and Bill M. In one massive photo!
Thanks you guys! ... And again, thanks to Phillies-Joe for initiating this in the first place!

Sweet! Glad you like them! Lots of Yankees collectors on here and I just so happened to mail to you first. Will get to some others too!
