He had a fantastic collection (mostly baseball), but I have always loved the '79 Gretzky. Dad has been gone over 20 years ago, and the card he showed me is long gone, but after he died, I saved up all summer and finally bought this card. I have had it with me for over 20 years.

Yeah that's a great story and that's a really nice copy that I'm sure you'll have for another 20 years. What collecting is all about - a connection to our past.
