Grail for my dad
We have been talking about this card for 20 years. I swore to him that we would get it someday (he's a former photographer that also is into antique wood cameras, those big boys haha).
Today was the day. Was very hard not to lose it while he was haha. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...98e44a08ac.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...903eff1808.jpg I love you, dad. |
Pretty awesome, brother. One love and Merry Christmas...
|
You’re a good son, thanks for making us all weepy...
Merry Christmas to you both. |
That's awesome Brent!! Merry Christmas to you both!
|
Great back story man. I wish my Dad was around as well.
|
Great story!!! Thanks for sharing.
|
What a wonderful story. In my opinion the 1869 Red Stockings trade cards and cdvs are among of the most historically significant cards ever produced.
|
Such a blah Christmas this year with family split up and not able to be together. This brought a little Christmas spirit. Good man, great gift and story! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to all!
|
Totally Awesome, there is nothing better than having great children. I’ve been blessed with four of them.
|
God bless
|
Brent that was fantastic
|
That's awesome. Great stuff.
. |
That is perfect for Christmas Eve. A great card.
|
Wonderful... thanks for sharing!
|
Terrific,,,,
|
Great moment!
As any good son would, I hope you took to opportunity to ask him what the Red Stockings were like to see live ;) |
I agree that was an awesome gesture, and one that I'm sure you will treasure.
|
Best.
Thing. Ever. Way to go man. |
You all are killing me, in the best way. I totally appreciate the responses and I hope you all have a blessed Christmas and holidays.

A thing, which may be an immaterial thing to many but is a thing that connects a father and son, is the most valuable thing in the world.

1) GREAT story, well done Brent! 2) Merry Christmas to tall! 3) To the user above with ID "Slightly Rounded"- I am jealous, that's the coolest name on the board:) Trent King |
As great as that card is it isn't as wonderful as the story behind it. Thank you for sharing it.
|
What a great story and Christmas memory.
Thanks for sharing. |
Awesome thanks for sharing

What a great gift, Brent; you did good. Both the 1869 Cincinnati trade card and the CdV are incredible cards, iconic images of one of the all time great teams and also quite rare.

Congrats Brent on the wonderful Holiday gift!
Those memories are priceless! Patrick |
With A card that old i'm sure there are many stories and history to go along with it. Now a new story is attached to that card and forever cemented in its history. Beautiful card and Beautifil story. Congrats!

Brent, I was so moved by your post & pix. Wanting something for 20 years, and then to have your son hunt it down to present it to you is ... priceless. I got teary-eyed, and stayed that way reading the responses you've received. Well done, way to go!, slap on the back, and I'm so proud of you! I'm very happy for both of you! Snapping a photo of this special occasion is something that will always make you smile, and cry sometimes, when you go back to savor your precious memory.
Thank you most sincerely for sharing your special moment with us. The continued best to you, bro.:) --- Brian Powell |
