I was recently contacted by someone who states that Aurelio Crespi was their Great Uncle and I would really like to be able to point them in the direction of an available card for them as I only have the one copy in my personal collection, if I had an extra I'd just send it to them. Anyways, I get contacted on a fairly regular basis by people with family members in the Zeenut set as I have my collection online and it shows up in peoples Google searches, but this email was a bit different.
Anyways, I couldn't stop laughing when I read the email, so here is the email's content with the name removed... "Hi, My name is Kris ***** and Aurelio Crespi was my Great Uncle. We were very close. You've stated your card isn't for sale, so I was wondering about he way you were able to find it. It would mean everything to get one for my mother, who is still alive and has plenty of stories about him. I do too---- he blew his eye out after his baseball career with a champagne cork and he used to take out his glass eye and show it around. He was a drinker, a crazy Italian, and a real character. If you know a way for me to find another (I didn't know they existed, because i don't think he was very good, it would mean a lot to our family to find one. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for collecting these cards and putting them up as images on the web! It means a lot to all of us who grew up with these men. Take care, Kris." Anyways, if someone knows where I can pick up an extra copy of the card I would appreciate it (condition isn't important) as I would purchase it & just send it to the sender of the email for free. -Rhett
