It was well worth it.



My friendship with the both of them grew.

I got to know their father box by box

And I got to take part in the unearthing of the coolest collection I have ever seen.



I've never been good at accepting gifts, and I always felt as though accepting something for doing a good deed cancels out the good deed.



Yesterday we were invited to a picnic at one of the Twins house... while I apparently wasn't looking they gave these cards to my wife and suggested that she give them to me tommorrow... came home to find a 40&41 play ball on my countertop... Both cards were part of their dads collection and among a grouping that were freshly graded... They will keep my 39 play ball company for years to come...



Thoughtful, unnecessary, and appreciated...


Nice cards with priceless memories and friendships.
