Default Another good "find" story

Not really a "find" as the gentleman who is bringing these cards to the hobby knew that he had them all along but it is nice to see that he was pleasantly surprised by the value of the cards and that the proceeds will be going to a good cause.

Just as an FYI I noticed that this was on front front page of section C (which is the suburbs section) of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I thought it was great to see some front page news that was really heart felt even if it was on section 3. Great story, great read, great man.
