btw.....my mom passed two years ago.....I can't tell you how much I miss her, wordsjust can't describe......
she bought me an uncut sheet of 1982 topps from a shopping mall baseball card show in 1982....it has a cal ripken on it......I had it rolled up in a closet for years......I forgot about it almost.....has some damage now, but, by far, is my most cherished card / piece I own.....
it's the memory of us together in the mall and the time we spent together...
I wouldn't sell it trade it for anything, not even a wagner
brings a tear to my eye just typing this....
Jason, cherish that mantle like your dad
