Even though my dad's cards are poor-good they are worth more to me than the PSA 5's (especially since he got the 75 cards for a total of 75 cents!).

Now that, John, is good stuff. My dad unfortunately lost all of his cards when his mom threw them out when he left for the Navy...I have a few Yankee & Red Sox programs of his that are framed on my wall including a 49 World Series scorecard...wish I had all his cards...he said he had a ton. Oh well...take good care of those!!!
