Cards are just stuff, and you can't take them with you, but this card no doubt brought joy to that other guy's life. Even after he got sick. Would be cool to give it a new home.

A decade ago I bought a vacation home and found out just before closing that one of the owners had a heart attack one night in the master bedroom and died and that why the family's house was put up for sale. At a way too young age, with a bunch of young kids. While it's sad to think about sometimes, it has not been the burden I thought it might be. Rather, it's a reminder to enjoy what you enjoy as long as you can.

Really great story. Thank you for sharing it.

It would be really cool to buy it and to give it to the parents, along with the story. I don’t know what it goes for, but I’d kick in $100 for that.

Wow. Speechless.
Thanks for sharing. What a horrible tragedy for a very young man.

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful card. The coloring isn’t nearly as nice as the 51 Bowman, but I still can’t see why this doesn’t get the same recognition. I’m not sure how someone could purchase the Bowman and not get the Berk Ross. Hope you get a strong result on this one.
