First off I want to thank all the guys who helped me secure a few 206's for the kid. I was able to finally see her on her birthday and give her the cards I got. I told her she was battling the monster and her response was "I'm not scared of any Monster." It's funny, cute, and going to cost me for sure:D But to see her take those cards out and look at them and ask about them made it worth every cent.

great pics, great kid, and a collection to be proud of.
congrats to the whole family!!!
do remind her of the almost famous dictum:
The Monster wants you to quit; don't listen to it.
Or you may just want to say it to yourself and then remind her well before she starts driving.
all the best, andrew
great story.

That's what I like to see--start 'em young! There's a fascination to what we do that's akin to holding an ancient Roman or Egyptian coin in hand. Some people see it, and some don't. Much as Masto isn't a particular favorite of mind, he said it: "you either have the collection gene or you don't!"
Great collection; great sharing; great start.
Best of luck to both of you!

From that look he has I don't think he is holding it in anymore :). Flatulence doesn't run down your leg:confused:.
Really cute kids- way to start 'em young guys.

Andrew & Larry,
Bring the kids to the National in Chicago this summer. I think they would enjoy it.

It's great seeing kids enjoying card collecting.
Gave my daughter her first card a month or so ago. I was sitting sorting some new stuff and she seemed interested. She thought it was tasty but a bit hard to chew. (8 months, everything needs to be chewed. ) I think I'll wait a bit to start her on prewar.....
