Kind of Amazing
I just sold off a large bulk of my collection through LOTG (thanks Al) with the thinking that I would keep the pieces I really enjoyed, get rid of those that I had been collecting to collect (or those that I thought I just had too much risk tied up in third-party authentication) and refocus on what I really care about . . . the Mets. Today, a Mets item I'd been waiting for for a long time came up on Ebay and I had the cash to make it happen. Kind of amazingly perfect timing.

Scorecard from the first ever Mets game in St. Louis. Have a running Ebay search for that date specifically. For the last few years all I ever get out of the search is old national geographic collections and other magazines. But this morning when I got the notice I could tell straight away (based on price) that there was something new. Now if I could find a ticket, it would be great (to match my first ever home game ticket and 3 first game at Shea stubs).

Awesome. Mets fan here also.
I'd sought for 10 years or so for both a ticket and game program to the first game I attended. I happened to luck upon a scorecard real easily, but was able to find a ticket last year.

Great story.
For the sake of the board's mental wellness I won't show it again right now but when I acquired the E90-1 Young in my collection I wouldn't have, in a million years, been able to get it had Heritage (where I bought it) already not had my collection to sell. Sometimes things are just meant to be?

Congrats! I'm always surprised scorecards being scored is looked upon as a negative. I love that extra little bit of history. I always keep score at baseball games. Cool story.
