This thread is being created to give each and every one of you the opportunity to give a shout out to someone, who in your eyes, lends something special to TCC. If someone took the time out to check something for you, if they made you smile, if they sent you something unexpectedly in the mail without expecting something in return, if they made your day in some way, if you just want to tell everyone who you think makes TCC the special place that you like to visit, by all means... give a shout out! Once a day, once a month, once a year. It doesn't matter how often you post here, just so you know that when you take the time out to acknowledge some of your friends and those you think are great members, you may just be making someone else's day. Give it a try! You'll be glad you did! Thank you. -Vickie

Cool Idea!

I am going to give a Shout to Monsta for sending me some free Posluszny cards! Thanks a lot!

My first shout out goes to Lew47 (Lewis) for being such a class act in a trade we had. He was more than fair in getting my Bagwell collection to another level. Great packaging, professional PM's, just a great guy to have met and interact with. KUDOS TO YOU Lewis and a mighty huge THANK YOU! -Vickie

I am giving a shout out to Tom Hoferautocollector He bought me an andruw jones 1/1 off of ebay and gave it to me for free!

Kudos go out to bushidobard for always having the best ideas. I don't think i can EVER Thank him enough for that and giving out free cards

My shout out....hmmm..

Hows about the smiley VICSTEN for creating this thread and spreading her goodness all over TCC once again..

First shout-out will go to Nyfancam01, for being patient with me when I thought I lost the Vick GU I had agreed to send him in a trade!

Thanks to my mom, I found it.

I gotta go with Ken (Kooljazz) because of how helpful he is and I love his box breaks.
"YES! Oh thats a sweet card!" - Ken

I have 2 shout outs for today:
First goes to thesobons (robert) for sending me some awesome Brett Favre cards for my PC 2 weeks ago. I got many new ones that I needed, and they were absolutely free through a contest so I'm deeply grateful for them.

Secondly goes to aceecards. I love watching your breaks, whether it be posts or videos...your sweet breaks today and always are something to be remembered along with your memorable quotations

Thanks to these 2 members who help make TCC as awesome as possible for an online trading card website!

How can a topic like this be thought of without 1 certain guy popping right into your mind? Thats right im talking about the great KoolJazz1966! Ken is an inspiration to us all in some way or another. He is a great member, very respectful, dependable, kind, and he fights to defend this land we call home! What more of a sacrifice can you make than what he has made? I started in this hobby with not a single friend. But iv ended up making so many. And no matter what this guy always sticks out! Ken thank you for being a friend, and more importantly thanks for doing what you do brother! God Bless you and your family! Heres to a live dual box break Jazzman/Chippa in 2008!

My first shoutout goes to skatalite for always helping me out....especially with online auctions! IMO, he's one of the reasons why TCC is such a special place!

My second shoutout goes to Aceecards! He helped me to secure a tough Bibby card I was after and I also received some super pulls from 2 mystery packs I bought from him. Always an awesome guy to deal with!

Another shout out too: kooljazz1966, for what he is doing for our country.

aceecards, for being the box break master.

mvpujols#5, for doing his best with his baseball team.

Definitley Aceecards

When I saw that brady quinn auto on your box break... that made me smile lol... very sweet looking card.

Agreed - Vickie gets my 1st shoutout!!!


Also a shoutout to RGBII for his hardcore dedication to "2002 Diamond Kings Set" ... This guy needs to be locked up!

The folks that I have dealt with on this site, whether buying, posting, showing off or just wasting time have been pleasant and professional. The ones that have put a "smile-on-my face" include (in no particular order)
skatalite - unending patience and help with my graphic inadequacies, even though he doesn't respond to thank yous! ( too many to respond to, is my first assumption)
tarasadie17 - just seems like a class act! nothing specific, bought a couple of boxes of '02 Upper Deck Piece of History from him, but every post that I have read from him is to the point , no ego, knows the hobby. We need more folks like this. Good for this Hobby!
jaderock - Well, his collection speaks for itself! We've
only had one transaction on this site but he truly understands the sickness and actually embraces it (you sick $*@c!-+). Thanks for the help getting my posts organized.
ffman - the most positive individual I've had the pleasure of reading. Never seen a post where he badmouthed, or talked-down to a collector. A peace maker. We need more of these.
dviv17 - a young, hellion LIBERAL, and an up-and-coming-hard-core collector with an intellect to scare the folks that I like to scare.
vicsten - first for kind words on a mini-rant I had and for bringing up a great subject for discussion.
Collect Hard Folks,
RGBII

Thanks Vicsten for posting this!

My shout out goes to KHarmon, Kris you were one of the first that greated me with open arms here at TCC (besides Boberino) and your kind generosity to help my collection get truly started was an inspiration to what collecting is all about. You gave me so much for so little, I can only thank the Cowboys for picking up TO, and putting that AWFUL taste in your mouth. I am sure I still have all the "freebie's" that you sent my way. Kris, I wish you were on more often, I can't wait to visit my little brother in Lubbock so we can get together for a BBQ, and Wax Break. There are so many others I want to give a Shout out to, but that will be for another day
B-

Thank you to everyone who have responded to this thread! I am so happy to see that you all are taking the time to recognize those who make a difference! Keep 'em coming! Also, thank you to those who gave me shout-outs. I do appreciate it. -Vickie

straightbutta14- Great person to communicate with and trade with... There is a reason why I have done multiple trades with this fine member. Too bad everyone couldnt be like him.

and

Vickie- Because She is one of the nicest people on the internet I have never seen a post where she wasnt happy!

And a big thanks to RGBII for greatly helping me with my Sosa collection.

I'm going to have a long list.

Crazygood: For helping get a Larry Bird auto for my dad.
Bushidobard: For helping me immensely with my writing and for the great transactions we've had.
Wahoo25: Just sent me a Casey Kotchman auto, that was great. Much appreciated and you have an incredible PC.
Kooljazz: Just a great guy and I always love reading/watching his breaks.
Sheesh: Brings a lot to the politics forum, and 99.9% of the time I agree with him.
RGBII: An amazing collector who probably has one of the best single set collections of all time. Love his attitude to collecting and in politics.
HOFerAutoCollector: I've traded with Tom several times and each one has been smooth. He sent me some free cards when I had to take a couple weeks off along with a nice letter. He's a true class act.
Vicsten: She always knows when to step in and take control, but always with a great attitude.
Snkpocket137: Great trader, great guy.
Tex333: Great to talk to, and an excellent guy. He got some Kendricks for me when I was out of money, thanks a bunch!
Bigalexx: Excellent trader, and great to talk to. Fellow Angels fan and he has a sweet Ervin Santana collection. He also sent me a very very nice Howie Kendrick sweet spot auto.

I've probably forgot some people, excuse me if I did.

Thanks to all at TCC.

-David

No one loves me

Oh man, how could I forget?

thesobons (Robert)

Robert is the epitomy of a class act. He is always very generous and a great role model for younger collectors like myself.

Way to go Robert!

chip.. I luv ya man!!

My kudos today go out to bravesfan09 (Chip) and kooljazz1966 (Ken).

The kudos go to Chip for reaching 10k posts, and making a very nice thread to thank all of those that helped him get there.

Kudos to Ken because I have been trying to make a trade with him, but I don't have anything that he is interested in so he is sending me free cards...This man is preparing to leave his family and go overseas, and somehow he finds time to send out FREE cards? That's a class act people!

Thanks TCC Dad

Kudos to bravesfan09 for reaching 10,000! 10,000 posts and 200 transactions....wow.

And, TCC Dad -

Kudos goes out to coltsfan23 (aknesh) for helping me have another TCC friend

"I thought I was your friend, Paul?" Longest Yard

TCC is easily the best place to meet friends!

Kudos to Killerhawkeye21 for the free Csonka card. It's cool that there are those out there that are willing to give for little or nothing in return. People like him make me glad I got back into the hobby.

No one loves me?

Mario. Hands down the most humble and amazing collector I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. And I'm not saying this cause he gave me a shout out, I honestly think Mario is the site's jewel.

Another huge thanks to Ken for some awesome PC stuff he sent me!

I shout out to acee, just because he's acee.


Plus my dog's name is Ace...........

I want to give a shout out to junior mcintosh for being such a hard worker for a young man!

Thanks Alex, I want to say thanks for having that sig. Very funny, even though it's the 245th time I see it

I would like to give a shout-out to StroBro for sending me free Biggios/.

I would like to say Thanks Big time to unban monk. We had a trade for some base cards, but he put 6 base cards with DC and a bubble wrap. Thanks!~

Here's my first set of shout-outs.


Mark (marcus42) - Mark is a very easy going guy to talk to, he seems like he'd be an overall helpful person in real life and over the internet. He sent me some free cards for my ND PC including a Darius Walker auto. He's a great guy that I'm glad to be able to call my friend on here.

Tom (HOFerAutoCollector) - Tom is all for helping the younger members of the site, weather it be sending them top loaders, penny sleeves, and etc.... or even buying stuff off the bay or just stuff from his card collection and sending it to them for nothing, just to help them out. I have always had respect for him and will continue to. He also sent me some free Quinn cards for my Quinn collection a while back.

Ken (kooljazz1966) - I've never had the pleasure of having a conversation with Ken before, but what he is doing for his country is great. I have tons of respect for him and what he is doing. God bless you man!

Cody (ffman) - Cody is one of the first people that I actually had conversations with through PMs and what not. Very cool guy to talk to and joke around with. Very laid back and easily one of the most respected guys in my book.

Joe (2000 Rushing Yards) - I haven't known Joe for long, but he's a very good person to talk to and I can get along with him very easily. He's yet another good friend from this site in which I've made.

Bob (bob_TCC) -

Consider it done . Thanks for the shout out. check your pm.

-Ken

KUDOS go out to all those who have thought of me when they come across a Bagwell or two and have PM'd me with an offer. Hint! Hint!


Sneaky but hopefully effective. Can't blame a girl for tryin'!

ok I throw a few appreciations out!

Ken- It was awesome getting that Newsome from you awhile back, and I was glad to get you a Montana! What your doing for our country is something that no piece of cardboard will ever be able to show how much I, and most every other member, appreciate what you do! Keep it up man!

Steve (Aceecards)- not that you and Ken haven't gotten enough of these kudo's already thought I'd toss mine in as well. You two are awesome collectors, and members to the hobby, it has been a pleasure dealing with you in the past, and hopefully we can work a couple more out, it's nice to see someone speaking up about the moral's on the site, when things sometimes get out of hand.

Cory (Raidersfan4life)- Though I haven't seen alot of Cory, I've had a few deals with him, and he has been awesome to deal with, wish you all the best man!

Todd (tmburton22)- I think todd and I have had two of the fastest deals in terms of negotiating in the history of TCC (one was where I asked about two cards in a reply to a thread, he asked about a couple of mine in the next reply, I replied if it was ok to post, and took a total of maybe two minutes! ), as with Cory it is the same with Todd, awesome to work with, hopefully we can work something out again.

Chad (DetroitFan113)- Most genuine member that I have come across on TCC, bar none. Worked a couple deals out, and have had some great talks about football. Great member, even though he doesn't collect anymore, it'd be nice to see him around more!. Also really nice too, great member.

Dan (killerhawkeye)- Sets the TCC standard. Great Collection, always has positive things to say, and is quite funny in the everything else thread. Your the man, Dan!

Matt (Iplayfootball90)- It's always great discussing football with you, Matt. Even though you don't trade anymore, it's great seeing your opinion's on whats going on in the sports world, as well as the hobby. Keep it up man! Oh, and thanks for what you said earlier, I really appreciate it!

Vickie (vicsten) and Cody (ffman)- Sorry for lumping you guys into the same compliment, but you two are awesome for this forum! always having the right thing to say without ever trying to degrade another member. And as always Vickie, thanks for gettin me my ryan freel auto .

Tyler (Eliptic)- Thanks for being a Cleveland Browns fan! it has been awesome to share whats been going on with the Browns with another die hard that bleeds Brown and Orange! Big things coming for the Brownies. And your graphic design talent is second to none! Has been a terrific addition to TCC!

Bob (do I really need to put his username here )- Bob, thanks for running such a successful site that gives me an outlet to talk about a hobby that many others do not share outside of TCC.

I think I have gotten everyone off the top of my head, I'll add more when they come to mind!

Time for my list.
Steve (Ace)- We've only had one trade, but it went fast and it was a good one! Thanks for that!!
Mark (marcus42)- Awesome guy, our trade was great! A great member and cool guy here at TCC.

Sorry if I forgot anyone!

A huge shout-out to:

bravesfan09: Chip told me through a PM a while back telling me he had gotten a Sosa GU card. I responded with an 'awesome!', then he PMed me back telling me he had just sold it locally the night before.

Yesterday, my mom told me when I called her from work that I received a package in the mail.

It was from Chip. The package included the Sosa GU which he had 'sold' ( ), a Sosa RC, and a note. He said that was a time when a little lie wouldn't hurt, and he knew it would help my Sosa collection as a gift from 'friend-to-friend'.

Therefore, a big kudos to Chip aka bravesfan09!

i forgot to give kudos out to..

kooljazz1966 (Ken) Awesome video box breaks, i look forward to them. Awesome guy and a great protector of our country

I give a shout-out to anyone that wants it.

when i think about honorable mentions my first thoughts directly go to members like ace, and kooljazz, and a number of others who easily make themselves just as recognizable everyday on the boards. bob's kudos are a given. but no words or mention can really do him justice.

i have to give two thumbs up to vicsten for looking after her fellow stro. she gave my meek bagwell collection a huge kick in the pants and gave my meager stack some credibility all for nothing, just out of the thoughtfulness of her heart. all good things that come her way just goes to show what goes around comes around.

second thumbs up would be for a member who hasnt been around lately and i hope he is okay. Chrispounds, i met him the very first day he joined the site, i found him much like i was when i joined sitting in the chatroom all alone. so i joined him and helped him to navigate the site alittle easier. that sort of help is always readily available and would be no problem at all for 99% of all members here im sure. so it was no big deal for me to offer my help. low and behold he asked who i collect and the sport im into and after that was said he told me he would see what he could do for me. first telling him that wasnt necessary he insisted and i got a few very nice ssuuuperbb bagwells!! a month or so later all just for my time. i hope he shows up someday so we can talk again.

last mention id say would be to NGWH for letting me know this topic existed and for all the fellow stros on the site!

and i wouldnt be lookin half as studly as i do when i post without my banner and bondsaways artsy eyetastic ability and his time and also thoughtfulness. offering to send things without cost or do what he can for members in need.

final thumbs up would be for all the banner makers out there, thanks for all your contributions!

My kudos for today go out to.


All the banner makers of the site. Thanks for making banners for every member that wanted one and also, doing them for free. It's really appreciated.
