Most folks know about my preoccupation, obsession and deranged interest in acquiring the Topps Allen & Ginter issues 2006-2008.
Well, the sickness has a new symptom - 2009 Allen & Ginter. I had planned on purchasing 5 cases with an option for a sixth. Financial obligations and other responsibilities have crashed that party.
While I had to eat a substantial restocking fee on the cases, my chase for the 2009 set has progressed due to the generosity and thoughtfulness of the fine members here at Trading Card Central.
July 29th, I received the following from Bob, (road_runner_1964) . . .
That is every card (minus 1) that he pulled from a two Hobby box break. An absolutely remarkable gesture from Mr. 264, it will not be forgotten.
August 3rd, I received these from John (Johnny Number 5) . . .
Yes, that is a Bazooka in a batch of freebies. Unbelievable, John! It will not go without just compensation.
August 3rd, I received this from a trade with Ankesh (coltsfan23) . . .
It's nice to have a Wood card this early in the chase. Thanks for the trade, Ankesh.
August 6th, I received these from a trade with Aaron (pspstatus) . . .
Love the Bazooka's, thanks for the trade Aaron

August 7th, I received these from Kris (KHarmon) . . .
In yet another phenomenal act of generosity, Kris sent 13 Short Prints, 3 Black Border minis, 3 A & G back minis (1 is a SP) and 3 SP regular back minis.
August 10th, I received this from a trade with Lucas (troygoesdeep) . . .
Lucas went out of his way to offer me a shot at this fine autograph. Thanks once again!
August 10th, I received this from a trade with Chip (bravesfan09) . . .
Chip, I really appreciate this trade, the No Number Minis are killer!
August 10th, I received this from Cody (ffman) as a gift . . .
Yet another act of of generosity from one of the Trading Card Central's true gems. Thanks Cody!

My partner Shawn (sasports) and I had a trade involving other sets. He volunteered to help me out going after some of the funky stuff out of this years Allen & Ginter. Well, to say the least, he was successful.
He claims to be my student, well, today the teacher has his hat in his hands for you Shawn. Thank you, immensely!
Folks, let there be no doubts, financial obligations notwithstanding, I am going to chase this set as Hard, if not Harder than last years stuff.
To everyone that has traded, offered and sent me gifts from this issue . . .
I can't thank you enough and your contributions will be treasured.
Thanks for the looks & Collect Hard!, RGBII

QUOTE(ffman @ Aug 11 2009, 09:24 PM) Richard, you might not need to actually buy any Ginter this year. Nice haul! Sacrilege, Sir, sacrilege.
