If you want to PM me an address I have some Astros cards I can send that I just don’t like looking at anymore being a Mariners fan
Also, the 2001 WS games are on YouTube in full under the MLB Vault user.

Picked up a couple Astros RC from my LCS. And then I splurged on two Kyle Lewis RC, which I'll probably give to him in a couple years as well. I decided to buy him Topps complete sets rather than introduce him to packs because I can't afford packs now - like another contributor pointed out. I wanted to get him a couple jumbo packs of Topps for his Christmas Stocking and the hobby packs were $30! I couldn't believe it. I could buy a complete set for the same amount as two jumbo packs which would probably yield an auto or relic card of a minor star.
It was fun to watch him go through the first Topps complete set. He organized them by team and was learning team names. He is into building reptile habitats in his room from stuffed animals, and when he came across the Arizona Diamonbacks, they instantly became one of his top favorite teams. I wish I could find every game from the 2001 WS, so he could see one of the best WS of my lifetime.
