Happy Feast Day of St. Valentine! There's nothing like pushing a post back a day to loosely connect it to a holiday that has nothing to do with the traditional overtures of said holiday! Sorry, no romance here, but if you're looking for the kind of love that stems from acts of kindness and selflessness, then I'm your huckleberry.
I'm a pretty lucky guy. I've been on the receiving end of some free cards from wonderful collectors who are just looking to spread good feelings!
For example, Stuart (S.R Cards '75) sent me some cards to help me towards my 1977 Topps set goal. I'm 16 cards away now, so hopefully I'll be able to get this set knocked out before year's end.
Jim (Cards As I See Them) was also kind enough to send some extra Red Sox cards my way. Those 1999 cards finished off that year's team set for me!
Jim wasn't done there however! He messaged me asking if I needed this card for my Golden Sox Project since it wasn't listed on my page. He was right, some how this Kimbrel card was missing from the list entirely! I'm grateful Jim mentioned that, because I might never have discovered it on my own! One more gold parallel down from the last year the Red Sox won a championship!
Finally, a bonus card from Greg (Night Owl Cards) that he included in our most recent Time Travel Trade. O-Pee-Chee Yaz? Yes please!
Thanks again Stuart, Jim, and Greg. My heart is warmed by your generosity!
