I'm not scared of any "Monster"
 

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.

She's got a nice collection going there!

Top class collection! Great pics.

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.

very cute, good luck to the both of you:)

The younger the better!
 

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!

hey andrew,
i bet she's just like you based on her statement," I'm not afraid of any monster." i'm doing the same thing with my grandson.

^^I can tell from his expression - he is holding in a Steamer^^:D

very nice guys, good luck to them

from that look
 

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.

yes jon,
hot,hot,hot

Andrew & Larry,

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

hey alan,
nice meeting you in baltimore last year. my grandson lives in florida:(. bad timing because he'll be in school.

Ha ha, nice!

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.....

Doing the same thing for my sons. Thats the best benefit of grading is I dont worry that ym four year old is playing with a 100 year old card :)
