Thanks, Jeanine, Dan, and Andrew...

 

I'm writing up the preliminary as we speak I've "borrowed" some of the ideas from the Aurora sales thread (kudos to them), just tweaking a bit for these circumstances.

 

So people will be posting items directly in the thread. The difference will be, payments will be going directly to Mike.

:thumbsup:

Was just about to ask but I see the answer.

Ill find some stuff to donate and we can get busy doing something this boards is amazing at:

Helping others!

This is horrible. Is this lung cancer? Do we know what stage we are talking about?

 

I hope his prognosis is positive.

 

I have some items to donate but I will wait and see if buyers are needed more than item donors. I can probably do both.

It's in his chest, I believe it's touched his lungs but is not "lung cancer". I never asked the stage. The Dr's told him the prognosis was positive, but it will take a while and I'm sure his medical plan will not cover all the costs.

 

I know the tumor moved his esophagus, but I really didn't ask for more details. I've spoken to him on the phone and he can barely speak.

 

I agree with the "horrible" Chris.

This ghastly disease can be beaten if caught at the appropriate stage. Let's all hope this was caught early.

 

I don't know or have had any dealings with this individual Mike, but I can see he's very well-liked and respected by the number of responses this thread is getting.

 

Godspeed to Mike for a fully recovery and best wishes to his family/friends as he goes through treatment.

Mike and I have been personal friends for almost 10 years now. I got back into collecting comics in 2002. Mike and I met each other at a local auction In northern Illinois when we were both bidding on comics. We realized we had a lot in common and became good friends after that.

 

We would often tell each other about upcoming auctions (both local and online) with comics in them. He's helped me out a lot on how to properly grade comics. He also told me about a place called the CGC chatboards. I must admit I was rather reluctant at first to start posting in here but have learned over the past 5-6 years what a great place this is. Many, many good people on here with big hearts. :)

 

Like Sharon said, Mike is just a good guy with his head and his heart in the right place. I still send Scooby-Doo and Sonic the Hedgehog comics to his daughter Mackensie even though I've been in Oklahoma the last 2 years. Please do whatever you can to help Mike and his family out. Even though I know he is very reluctant to accept help like this, I also know that he will be very appreciative of everything we do for him.

 

I will be listing a number of books in the thread that Sharon starts tomorrow so please look for them there. (thumbs u
