Special Thank You to Chuck Price
This deserves its own post.
A few days ago, I posted a list of T206 HoFers I need for my Cooperstown project. I called it The Tortoise & The Hare List, but in the post, jokingly referred to it as my Wedding Registry (I'm getting married on the 8th of September). Shortly after I posted the thread, I received a PM from Chuck Price. Kyle, Please forward me your address and I would like to send you one of the cards on your list as a wedding gift. It’s not much, but it will be a graded HOF’er off your list. Chuck Price Yesterday, I received the T206 Bresnahan pictured below. Heck of a gesture, and I am very thankful for the gift. Eventually, I'll complete this project. But as is with the rest of the hobby, the journey is the best part, which includes incredible moments like this. Thanks Chuck!

I love this place! More than once I've had board members extend some far more than generous gestures. This place is amazing.

Thank y'all for the well wishes. I can proudly report that my soon-to-be wife 99% supports my collecting, and has actually made an effort to learn about the cards. The 1% of the time she doesn't, is when I scare the crap out of her and tell her I paid way more than I actually did for a card (or when I paid a lot for a card and don't tell her up front that it's under market value and I have it covered).
And yes, just an outstanding gesture by Chuck. Nah. I'm good on fire kindle.

Congratulations! A board member sent me a card for my collection when I got married and it's still one of my favorite pieces. I hope it brings you ton of enjoyment and that your wedding brings you a lifetime of happiness.
