Blessing in the mail today
 

Possibly should have posted this in the "pick ups" thread but it is not really a pick up so here goes.
Retired (mostly ha) dealer friend of mine sent me something unexpected. I won't mention his name because of his humility I know he would not want me to. He helped immensely when writing my book "Buying Back Dad's Cards" by getting me interviews with lots of people, even Dr. Beckett.

Anyways, I had a very large package delivered today. Inside was tons of bubble wrap and another pretty good sized package. 2nd package pictured below:

Now my mind was racing. What on earth could this be. This was inside:

Now here it is in it's permanent home in "Campy's Corner"

There have been so many threads about prices/bubbles/scams/trimming etc. (and I participate in those discussions) but I was just reminded today that there are a great number of wonderful people in this hobby. Lots of people who are generous and honest.

It was indeed a blessed day in the mail!

Holy smokes, what a gift! That's amazing, enjoy it Chris. That's what happens when you put good out into the world.

Wow, that's great!

Very nice!

Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

WOW...that is super cool...just wow! Such a beautiful picture of an iconic hero...and yes, blessed is the correct word!!!

Wow. That’s awesome. Part of me can’t believe it but the part of me that knows both of you absolutely can. Congrats my friend. Hoping to see you in a couple weeks.

That’s pretty amazing. (Also love the 57 Campy! One of my Top 10 cards)
