Such a great story, thank you for sharing it and the cards. A couple of years ago my wife gave me my dream card, a gorgeous Unitas RC, for Christmas and it means even more to me having acquired it that way rather than purchase. Your Dad has accomplished making cards a tradition and that transcends the hobby by far.
