OT: Tragedy......looking for community support.
Ive been here contributing for the last 10 years, over the last year I slowed down activity due to me purchasing a new home.
But recently tragedy struck both my girlfriend's parents at the same time and they are currently both recovering in a nursing home. We are coming up with money together to try and help cover a deposit into a Senior Living facility.
Sooooo, since my girlfriend's finances are strapped, it appears that I will be selling off a really good chunk of my collection for the first time in 10 years of collecting. Ill be listing most of it little by little, while trying to hold on to some stuff. A good mix of everything really.
If anyone is interested, just PM me and I can respond with a link or email a list of what I have, since posting here is frowned upon.
Thanks.
Mike

RE: OT: Tragedy......looking for community support.
Thank you all for the interest and prayers.
I just listed a TON of key rookies and autographs today.
Thank you all for the support. As I just told another member, they arent happy in the nursing home, and her dad is refusing physical therapy. Just wants to sleep all day and go home. So I think a decent care facility is thier best option, so i know at least all this is going to a good cause.
