Big Ups to Franklinguy52!! I got an envelope in the mail today from Troy and it contained some very special cards.
My family has a special regard for PGA vet Fred Couples. He's a great guy and a good supporter of the University of Houston. Troy's package contained a really cool Upper Deck Fairway Classics swatch card of Freddy.
There was also a Brooks Robinson game-used jersey card from the Panini National Treasures set. Funny thing is the before I went to get the mail I hit up ebay to check on an auction and what did I see in the "you might like" grouping of stuff on my page but this exact card. And I put it on my watch list. That's a weird and almost spooky coincidence, no?
Troy sent five cards in total and each of them had a significance to my collecting. Rather than make this a huge reply I will be posting them all on my blog in the near future and I'll come back and paste in a link.
Thanks again Troy. Now I'm going to go and see what 'Pay it Forward' items I can send along to someone here. Without very many modern cards I'll really need to be inventive.
