Wish I had it. Would have sent it out to you.

The fondest memory I have collecting is the day that a friend of my fathers, who was a former TE at Penn State, spent the entire day with me. My Dad new I was getting into cards, I was probably around 10 at this time. Lets just say his collection was mind blowing. He'd be a hardcore collector for years, and for him to take the time out was something I'll never forget. He's been a friend of the family for years, even since my fathers passing. It was special for me and one of my greatest memories. Not just the cards either, but the memory of the whole day. I mean he really set me up for high after high. He new I was a huge Bruins, and Celtics fan. To see piles and piles of Bourque and Bird Rc's was amazing. I mean not just the insane collection, but the scope of it. From Decades and Decades, going way back. The history and all. It was a memory that will never fade.

I don't have children of my own but three nephews who I try share moments like that. I go out of my way to share the hobby with them as well. So just taking the time to spend with any young collector can have a impact. Thanks for sharing, wish I had the card.
And Happy Holidays.
