Blessing in the mail today

Possibly should have posted this in the "pick ups" thread but it is not really a pick up so here goes.
Retired (mostly ha) dealer friend of mine sent me something unexpected. I won't mention his name because of his humility I know he would not want me to. He helped immensely when writing my book "Buying Back Dad's Cards" by getting me interviews with lots of people, even Dr. Beckett.

Anyways, I had a very large package delivered today. Inside was tons of bubble wrap and another pretty good sized package. 2nd package pictured below:






Now my mind was racing. What on earth could this be. This was inside:










Now here it is in it's permanent home in "Campy's Corner"






There have been so many threads about prices/bubbles/scams/trimming etc. (and I participate in those discussions) but I was just reminded today that there are a great number of wonderful people in this hobby. Lots of people who are generous and honest.

It was indeed a blessed day in the mail!
