Hugh shout out to Phillies816
This trade was the largest money value trade I've done. His end was delivered on Friday. I noticed when I picked the box up that is was heavy for 140 cards. I finally got around to opening it today. Lets just say I almost passed out. First off, not counting the cards in trade, theres got to be close to 500 extra cards if not more. Secondly, the box contained 2 autographed hats. One Philiies hat auto'd by Bobby Abreu and the other a Eagles hat auto'd by Tommy McDonald. Box also contained a Sports Illustrated 2008 Commemorative Issue of the Phillies World Series Championship, a copy of the Philly Inquirer November 1, 2008 issue with Celebration Day on the front page, and a 2008 Inquirer commemorative poster of Ryan Howard. The picture does this no justice! I am honestly speechless. No word or words can come close to how appreciative I am for all that I received. He is the reason that I will continue to trade on this site. Thanks again!

Looks like you became a Phillies super collector over night! Great trade for the both of you!
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
