I read on Beckett that he edited all of the cards in the 1976 SSPC set, which I picked up a while back.<br /><br />Captain Canuck - Email sent... thanks for your contest.<br /><br />Ryan G - I could hear the Budweiser guy reading your comment.<br /><br />Greg Zakwin - Glad to hear you have a great LCS... and I agree Night Owl is awesome!<br /><br />Martyn - Thanks bud... and yeah Colin and Ryan are first class people. Their generosity is second to none.<br /><br />Kirk Jacobsen - You bring out a great point... maybe I should nominate my mom, since she's the one that bought me those first packs.<br /><br />VOTC - Holy crap... you read my blog post? Seriously... the three of you keep up the great work. You all are awesome!<br /><br />Baseball Nut - My dad is definitely one of my heroes... but unfortunately... he doesn't share my collecting passion.<br /><br />Anthony - Thanks... but sorry... no extra points.
