Congrats man! When my wife and I were dateing she wanted to get me a card but didn't know anything about them. She went to a shop where she used to live and told him she wanted to get me a vintage card. Not knowing much she recognized the name Sandy Koufax and purchased a PSA 6 1959 Koufax for me. Needless to say I was stunned. I'm sure the salesman took her for a ride and I've never asked her what she paid but it still sits proudly in my collection anlong with other cards she has purchased for me including a 1953 Satchell Paige, 1952 Bowman Eddie Mathews, 1952 Topps Enos Slaughter, 1966 Topps Mickey Mantle, and 1913 National Game Walter Johnson.
It's great to have a wife behind your collecting desires but sometimes I wish Christmas and my birthday would come more than once a uear. Ha ha.
