I live in Kansas City and Randy in Columbia about 2 hours away. Randy invited me to his house to view his collection and a great friendship began.
Together, Randy and I have attended the last 20 Cardinals home openers, traveled to several Nationals including a 20 hour drive to Cleveland, set up at a few shows together to sell our duplicates and viewed with envy each other's Cardinals collections. He has shared his research and checklists. Randy has made this such an enjoyable hobby for me. Selfishly, I hate that he is selling his wonderful collection of Cardinals cards. But I understand and am supportive and our friendship will endure.

Ed, thanks for the heartfelt post. All I can say is the feeling is mutual. The Nationals, other card shows, and Opening Days have been a blast, as well as our friendship.
