One of the aspects that has energized me to renew my interest in collecting over the last couple of years is the blogosphere and the community of collectors that resides in it. I've enjoyed reading, commenting, participating in contests and group breaks...and I've really enjoyed the community (both as an observer and as a participant).
I recently participated on one of Kyle's group breaks at Juuuuust A Bit Outside. Kyle hosts a group break every month and I regularly participate - usually selecting the Phillies. Kyle recently sent me a card accidentally that was intended for another Phillies Phan. Realizing his error, he emailed me and asked me to forward the card to another participant. Kyle was very apologetic and offered to reimburse me for the postage - but the amount was minimal and he has always been great with his breaks - so I was more than happy to make sure the card made it to its rightful home.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and, after the last group break, Kyle sent the following (in addition to my haul from the group break) -
As a Phillies phan I was thrilled with all 4 cards - thanks Kyle!!
The rest of the break was pretty kind to me as well. It included a box of 1990 Leaf and 1998 Bowman's Best and I took the White Sox largely because I never owned a Frank Thomas rookie (too expensive in "the day"). Well - I no longer have that problem....
I now have these two...AAANNNND
These two!!
Plus a Sosa:
And a Pair of Maglios:
