My mother passed away on Sunday after battling a neurological illness for about a year. Despite the timeframe, it was super aggressive and she went from driving to almost totally debilitated in a period of not much more than 6 months. As a reminder of our happier times, I was able to pick this up yesterday at the LCS while running errands related to her service, and I guess I am thinking of this as kind of a final memory piece. Mom was the original supporter of my vintage card habit, buying me singles at now long-gone LCS’s in NC back in the late 1980’s. There was never a Ryan rookie, but there were plenty of Mantles. We had our ups and downs over the course of life like as in any family, but the happiest times I can remember as a kid were going to the baseball card shop with Mom...[emoji4][emoji17] I’m glad she’s finally getting the rest she deserves.
