Greetings!

Mindy, do you remember when there were only 10,000 cards? LOL! Here's part of the email that you sent out announcing that milestone:

"Hello,

2. Today GCUniverse hit 10,000 cards (10,016 to be exact as I type). With such a large selection of cards, and growing daily, we are looking at ways to better organize and further categorize cards to improve the shopper's experience. Stay tuned for more details this week. ALSO this week we will be removing the over 2,500 stock cards from the other BigDates' sites which means all our sites will be 100% "direct from the artist" GCUniverse cards!

Congrats and thanks to all of you for your hard & creative work!
Mindy

Director of Marketing"

The date of that email? June 26, 2007!

(That was when I had my FIRST GCU shop, which I ended up closing and starting anew, one year later!)

So, a BIG congrats to everyone involved in this adventure!

Penny
