Name me a nice person in your collecting history

Mark Macrae always goes above and beyond the call of the hobby in helping me when I need it. There is no one incident I can pick. It's every darn time. Kevin Struss fits right into that category too. Nicer guys you could never hope to meet. If the whole hobby was filled with individuals like them it would be a much happier place. As for a recent experience I do have one. Three or four days ago Mike Wentz emailed me and asked me about an R316 he had (common) with a cool back stamp on it from a candy dealer. He and Brian know I am an avid "back" collector. We emailed back and forth a little bit and I told him what I thought the added value would be based on my experience. It was probably about 4x of the common player as they aren't real expensive to start with. Yesterday I got the card in the mail.....insured ....free.......What more can I say?

ps...edited to say I should mention that my best bud in the hobby, Scott Brockelman, has been like my mentor.....and I blame my addiction on him.
