Amazing.......how the heck do you know what I do for a living??? Anyways, back to the subject at hand. I collect baseball cards for a simple reason. It keeps the kid inside of me alive. Just the other day, after getting home from a long & frustrating day of staring at a computer screen, a puffy envelope is waiting for me on the kitchen table. While trying to stay cool, calm, and collected in front of my wife, I anxiously wait until she heads for the bedroom. At which point, I tear into the envelope like Hugh Hefner on Viagra. Inside, is a recently purchased lot of 1936 Wide and Fine Pens.

Well, I'm going through them, mumbling........got it, got it, need it, got it; when all of a sudden, I notice some cards with a little writing on the back side. You know what, those eight cards put a big old smile on my face. As was mentioned once in a prior thread, sometimes the cards talk to me.........do they talk to you???

Here are two pics of the back side of the cards....

Thanks for the cards Raymond! I'm glad they helped you make it through the five grade. I'm sure you will be happy to know, that with your assistance, they helped me get through a frustrating day. Thanks again!

Lovely Day...
