hi again guys....
just dropped in because i got a message in my email that my bench inbox was full and figured i should take a minute to try to contact a few people to assure everyone i'm still around , just haven't been able to spend time with cards or collecting activities most of this year..
this message goes out MAINLY to drpid and robert326 since i owe the former quite a bit on our back-and-forth trades and was still trying to work up a big lot for the latter....in addition , i think i was working up a small lot for timfsu2k and vasteelersfan....i also see i have quite a bit of new mail in my inbox that i will try to get taken care of this weekend...
and now i'll apologize for not being here more often , but to be honest , 2010 has been a VERY bad year for me as some of you already know (beginning with the car accident with fatality , followed by 3 separate illnesses , a burglary , more car problems , employment issues , a possible eviction , and most recently surgery with lingering complications among other things)....due to all these issues , my collection has pretty much been on hold most of the year....each time i thought i was just about ready to get back into the swing of things i was hit with another setback....
all that said , please give me a little more time to finish getting things in order (on the way back to court over the burglary in about an hour in fact) and i hope to be back to a more normal pace very soon....
i'll close by saying that due to the burglary (some cards stolen , many more damaged by clumsy thieves) i am having to do even more resorting and updating up of inventory and would love to get rid of a couple boxes of base material along the way so if anyone has and special requests for BASE cards (player/team/set needs) from sets primarily from 1987-2004 feel free to drop me a message here or via regular e-mail and i'll see if i can pull stuff aside as i continue re-organizing the mess...
thanks again ,
claude
