[pac_rat_76]

Yes those are sweet looking patches TGutta!

Traded for this one and it came in today. He's not one of the better known players but it is a 1/1 so happy to add it to my collection.

I found all the Levi Michael Leaf Player editions I bought, not that I ever really lost them

I think 25 Metal were made available, and I bought 21.

I also have 1 Valiant.

Here's a thought...

I was thinking about this group/thread, and who is a regular in it. After 473 pages, it's pretty well established who is currently a regular on the thread. Going back 10-12 pages, I have compiled the following roster to see who is current:

TBTwinsFan
55marlins sp
Twins Win
devin
Musial Collector
Yrocks2001
TGutta
TwinGnats
UMich92
jtrinaldi
wolfmanalfredo
clarkzac
jszczech
sjrmn91
Lally1
vwnut13
Greg Cleveland
And as the OP, but not always a regular poster, but keeps in the mix with the occasional post with a great pick up, Flightposite deserves a spot. There are a few others I can think of who have been around here and there in the past, but haven't posted in a long time or very infrequently. (Ideal24--yes, you Dan.) Guys like Jaypers who pop in with a comment or something to offer don't count.

What I would like to do is to create a rolodex of our real names and addresses, to make trading or sending stuff easier. In order to keep it within the group, everybody can PM me your real name and address, phone or cell if you wish to share, and I will compile it and PM it back to everyone. That will keep your info off the thread and within the group. (It also helps me with real names since I forget real names and the FCB handle that goes with it. Getting old sucks, boys.)

Wish I thought of this well before Christmas, but we have Twinsfest and Winter Caravan to look forward to. Enough of us go to that and other events in Twins Territory that we already do a great job of hooking each other up and helping out with cards and autos and such. If this idea dies right here, that's cool. If you'd rather not, that's fine too. I can tell by how many PM's I get if enough care.

Bumping myself to get a few more folks to respond in case they missed the original post. Good response so far, but a few guys haven't been around much. If I missed you and you want in, please send me your info.

I probably won't be able to help much since I don't follow game used mem but I will try. Is it signed and/or authenticated?
