Yes, this is a cool topic.

Last year my wife finished off my T205 set with the suffering Kaiser Wilhelm. I was bidding on it early, and she had a friend bidding too...It might have driven up the cost some, but overall the price was fair, and it finished a major pre-war set, so I couldn't have been happier!
Plus I was totally surprised as she has taken less interest in my collection in the past few years. She used to buy cards for Valentines' day and birthdays etc in past years...
Oh well, this year could be another baseball card year. She asked me what cards I was interested in, and I pointed her to a couple. I like being surprised, so I gave her many choices.
I also told her some Phillies tickets would be nice...only living 2881 miles from Philly makes the home games hard to attend.
Happy Holidays to all of you...I hope you all get some cardboard too!
