Well, the wife and daughter came through again, sending a list to my LCS, negotiating price, then driving out there to pick up an amazing hall with minimal contact. They always get the stuff I'm hesitant to buy. One of my main goals lately is to get every Topps Cub card. I've been focused on the late 50s, but they gave me 2 1955s, 1 1953, a 1965 Ernie Banks....and 12(!) 1952 Cubs. I only owned a total of 4 1952 cards of any kind in my whole collection before this. Not to mention the '65 Gibson and a couple other missing cards. 

So shoutout to family! And Merry Christmas to all!

I remember year's past posts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My wife and I just had a discussion the other night. She has never bought me Cards. She has stopped by the LCS or Wal Mart under direct instruction. She really doesn't know sports. She could name my favorite teams and maybe some players. In her defense, buying a present, she would really be in the dark. Now clothes, she keeps me in clothes. No worries there.

Let me be clear: she always works off of my easily-accessible want list. There's no improvising...

I will print a Vintage Wantlist and leave on the fridge this year. I'm sure she will hook me up. My wife's computer skills are lacking so looking it up is a NO! She makes a good living cleaning houses and has many friends to help with the purchase online. I wish I had an offer for your 1969 Ryan. 

Now that is a top class wife and daughter - I need to get to training mine better!
