Joshua, that story is fantastic. Stories like that make me realize just how cool this hobby can be, and how generous collectors are.

The most valuable card in my collection to me is a T206 Rube Waddell portrait. When I was a kid in the early 80s, I used to go to a card store once a week. At the time, I was maybe 10 years old, and infatuated with T206 cards. The seller used to put beaters in a shoebox for me, and sell them to me for fifty cents each. The Waddell was in that box - fifty cents. All four corners were clipped, and it was creased from top to bottom, but I still have it, and I love it.
