My Dad was filling up his truck one day and I begged him for a dollar to go in and buy a pack. He gave in and gave my kid sister a dollar to for whatever she wanted. I go in and buy a pack and for some reason she did to...and pulls a Griffey. I was SO pissed. Lol. I think it was the only pack she ever bought. I begged and begged her for about a month for that card and she finally gave in. I'm sure she made me do her chores or something for a week but it was worth it. I always think of her when I see that card.  |
+1 That is a good story.
I want to pull the trigger on some junk wax, just can't bring myself to do it yet, too much of a cheapskate.
