A couple weeks ago I put out an offer to trade some spare bobble-heads I had floating around the hobby room. Micheal as schedule collector I have traded with a few times in the past contacted me about wanting a Bret Morel. Micheal lives in the Chicago area so it would be only natural he'd want one for a player associated with the White Sox. E-mails were exchanged, and a trade agreed upon. In return for Bret I got the following.
Mark has long since retired due to injuries. Along with Mark the name of the team this bobble-head was for is retired. The short lived name Swing of the Quad Cities just never caught on. Personally I was one of the people not fond of the name, and celebrated when they went back to the old name Quad Cities River Bandits.
Since doing this trade I just got news last night that Micheal is in the hospital with heart trouble. While he won't see this I want him to know I'm pulling for him. Micheal is our type of trader. A guy who loves his baseball, and collects postcards, ticket stubs, and all sorts of various baseball memorabilia.
Sending out the positive vibes for your buddy and fellow member of our card collector fraternity. That Mulder bobble is very cool. On the flipside... I'm a fan of any bobblehead.
