FINALLY - King Felix Complete Rainbow with Scans and a HUGE Shoutout!!!

Hello Ladies and Gents! I wanted to send an official THANK YOU to a couple friends on here. Both of them I have known nearly my whole existence here on FCB and the bonds, hobby mentoring and sharing of each others collections has been a blast.

First off...my first thank you goes out to [MENTION=2418]George_Calfas[/MENTION]

I came home from a long hiking/camping vacation and found a surprise package in the mail. Very unexpected, and a VERY nice card for my ongoing HOF PC. I can't thank you enough George...you have truly impacted my collecting knowledge and hobby in so many ways

Lastly, I received another package yesterday in the mail. I knew something was coming as [MENTION=3694]King_Felix_4_CY[/MENTION] aka Phil PM'd me stating to expect something. First item was a tin of 2007 Sweet Spot. Such a fun product to open and one of the reasons why I miss Upper Deck stuff box break lately. Inside was a Travis Buck Sweet Spot autograph, Matt Chico RC helmet autograph, Roy Halladay jersey and a Roger Clemens Jersey. The last item had a very kind note on it and said to open last. Inside was my most sought after card. I had seen 3 of the 5 surface, and luck would have it that I missed it every single time. I honestly thought I might never see the card pop up again:

I have been searching for this card for 2 years now and it was THE only card I was hoping to find at the National starting tomorrow Thanks again Phil, words cannot describe how awesome this gesture is!

Congrats Alex! Those items deserve to be in your PC. Congrats to George and Phil as well for hooking you up!!

You are very welcome my friend!

Now lets root for Felix for AL Pitcher of The Month!

Dang!!! Real nice rainbow. And some equally impressive generosity shown by a couple fellow FCBers.
Congrats

Nice Alex! That's HUGE! I know you were looking for it for a while... MTSS tipped me off obviously!

Since that was the only card you were going to look for at the National, I guess that means you can spend more time keeping an eye out for any really rare Albert Belle cards

Holy Bernandez!!!!!!!!:-o:-o

Glad it has a great new home!

Alex, good things happen to good people so it's no suprise to me that you got these. George and Phil are alright in my book, too!

Congrats on the Purple, Alex! I've always kept an eye out for that one for you.

That's really generous of those guys, and that is a great looking rainbow!

Congrats Alex !!! Phil & George are some fairly solid folks
