I didn't receive the email either. That's probably because of the spam deterrent I've put in the email address.

Made a direct donation in addition to buying the promos from mhoponhop.

Thanks for doing this Cliff. Looks like all the sets are sold. I think that by dumb luck I bought the first set.
Recently another board I am on had a post about the costs and silently put a donation link with the goal for the year. It filled up in just a few days.
NSU is a great resource for this hobby and the only survivor from the 90's card explosion. There were a few other magazines but when profits fell they quickly disappeared. Its the Hobbyist publisher and stores that keep this hobby we all enjoy going.
Thanks to you for this generous offer to help and thanks to NSU for soldiering on through this crazy economy. And thanks to all those who donate to help out.

No I didn't get an e-mail either .I have just made a donation.

Well done to Cliff for has actions as well (shame I missed it)

Hello Hello - I have relisted another (slightly different) 25 lots of promo cards on eBay (#160518008041) to help the "Card Talk" forum.

The 1st 25 lots SOLD OUT in less than ONE DAY (you all really stepped up to the plate!). This will be the last ones I can do, so let's make this just as successful! The auto card in this new lot is different (signed by Katie McDee) & there's 1 less promo in this lot (the Kepi card I made is gone!), but I still think it's worth the value & remember: The entire $10 bid price is being sent to NSU. We've already raised $250 - let's make it $500!

Thanks everyone.
Cliff

Just purchased one of the second lot of promo's. Happy to help Cardtalk.

Yep, it was missing the http: part. Worked with a copy and pasting into the address thingy.

Donation made.

Thanks for the how to advice, --Chris

No email to me either but I have bought some cards and made a donation.

Thanks all. Yes....an e-mail was sent to just about everyone here. I would guess it got caught in some people's spam traps. It was sent from the forum's mass mailing feature rather then a regular e-mail client so maybe that caused it to look more like spam then had it come from a regular mail client??

Thanks also for pointing out the lack of http:// in the note. I see that now. I even checked all the links before sending this and my mail client had no trouble with it, which is why I guess I missed it.

Thank you everyone who have donated very much. We got some very nice notes yesterday too.

Thanks also very much to Cliff at MHopOnHop. That's really great of you to do!

I deliberately have additional words in my email address that need to be taken out when emailing me from the site.

Let me see if I get some extra money to get a subscription.

Cards arrived today. Thanks Cliff. Very Generous offer to help out. Thanks Again.
Erik

Mine arrived too! Thank you again Cliff!

I had bought one of the first 25 which arrived today as well.

What a great way to contribute to NSU (for Card Talk), and to get some great cards for your collection.

Thanks for doing this Cliff.

Mike.

The set I won on eBay (from the first batch) arrived today and look really nice! Thanks again Cliff - it was exceedingly generous of you to make this offer in support of Card Talk!
Au Res.,
Paul

Just to let everyone know....Cliff donated exactly what he promised a few days ago. $500 for the two sets of 25 auctions. This was VERY GENEROUS of Cliff and we very much appreciate what he has done — all completely of his own doing after reading the mass e-mail, by the way. Thank you Cliff.
