Lured in by the promise of GOLD, then bipped by my own team !!!!

We all know the internet can be a dangerous place.You can lose your identity and thousands of dollars.You can be led to think you're going to meet the love of your life in a wonderful, romantic setting (why do people believe this??!!) only to come face to face with a serial killer in a dark ghetto alley.But this,this is just wrong.

Wrong , Wrong ,Wrong !!!!!

And I hate to say it,but this was brought about by one of our own.

I received a seemingly innocent email from a blogger, with whom I've never dealt, but felt was an upstanding member of the community. He offered to send me this gold Steve Olin card.One I dearly need for my collection.I unwittingly gave him my address.

A couple days later I received another email " Sorry about the cards that tagged along with Steve...". What ??!! I quickly emailed back accusing him of bipping. Alas, no reply.

Yesterday the package arrived.I had my wife dial 91_ just in case my second heart attack was on it's way. As I opened the big yellow mailer I saw the glint of gold inside, as shown below.

Ah...the nearly perfect, very well-centered 1993 Topps Gold Steve Olin card !

But wait, there was more.

Oh No !!!

A dozen Carlos Baergas flying through the air,coming right at me !

With their mouths open and an evil grin on their faces

I knew there was no chance for escape.

But then something else dropped out.

Agh !! A Carl Crawford card.

Wait a minute, there's something unusual about this card.

Derek Jeter is wearing a disguise.

The jokes on you !

You must have accidentally sent me this one-of-one card right out of your own collection.

It's probably worth millions to a Carl Crawford collector.

Wait, you are one !!!

Yes, friends, the culprit is Paul from Carl Crawford Cards.

Thanks Paul for the great cards !!
