Topps Baseball Boxes Wanted for Katrina Survivor

[GarkoCollector]

As some of you know, my friend Roger Allison lost part of his home in Hurricane Katrina. He was lucky that he had a steel reinforced garage that took most of the hit from the winds and was somewhat more lenient with his home. He lost all of his photographs, his car, a lot of his family's clothing and several other items. He also lost his precious babies...his Topps Baseball card collection. He had EVER COMPLETE SET from 1959-2004. They are all gone and I want to help.

I am asking that anyone that has boxes of Topps baseball cards let me know and I will TRADE for them. He has since moved north to PA with the rest of his family. I want to get these boxes and spend some time with him. We will open the packs, sort things, put them in binders just like he had them before and search for the ones we need. I want to help him, and this is the best way I can, because we met through our mutual love for collecting.

I am not looking for handouts here, just anyone that would be nice enough to trade me some Topps baseball boxes. They can be from any year. I have plenty of 87 topps, so any year other than that would be wonderful.

If you can help me out, please do. If you dont have any but know someone that does, help me out and put me in contact with them somehow.

Thanks everyone!
Tom

Don't do Baseball but Good Luck. That must have been a sick collection. Did he insure them? Can he collect money from his Home insurance?

he had his memorabilia insured, but not his topps collection. Thanks for the well wishes.
