A nice member story....
...though I am not at liberty to disclose their name I want to tell you what they did.
When I listed the 5 Star Russel Wilson for Team Conner this member PM;s me and asked if I would sell some cards for them and donate the $$ to Connor's family. Read about Connor and his family here- http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/o...ease-read.html Also I won't post it here but you can also donate directly. PM Me for details. I told them I would be happy to. Well today comes a Medium Flat rate box I open it up and unwrap all the cards and I see the card on the back of 1 of the 4 piles. There are 51 total cards I am not ashamed to tell you that these items brought a tear to my eyes. A list would not do this justice so I will be scanning and listing the cards in this thread before I list them for sale. Here is a picture of 2 of the cards in the lot....

Yes, that was a very nice story Jon. Thank you so much for sharing. Connor is in my thoughts all day everyday and I tip my hat to the member who sent those to you for the cause.

What a fantastic gesture for a brave little boy. This is what I call sacrificial giving. If I was to ever write a book on this topic it would be called "The poor do not like Lima Beans Either".

This should tell you all you need to know Thanks for sharing Jon. Just imagen if we all just sent in a few cards to Jon to sell for Connor. This would really help out this family a lot. Jon, I will be sending a few cards your way to help out. PM me your address if you dont mind. Thanks for all you are doing.
