Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.

My grandfather was in World War I and died a year before I was born so never had a change to meet him. My father would tell me some fond memories of him. His dad was gassed in the war and it damaged his lungs and health wise was never the same. My father was in World War II, in the U.S. Navy, and was on a sub chaser in the South Pacific. They received credit for sinking a submarine during the war. A number of his friends and family members were lost in the war. I know people throw the saying around, but it's true, "Freedom isn't free."

Today I'm going to post a favorite item of mine that I purchased from Scott (quitcrab) several years ago. I was going to post it earlier this year with the next item, but just couldn't find the thing. So first I'll picture a Brooks 1964 Topps Standup that I posted on Day 128.

Is that transparency from the Topps Vault? I think that is very cool!

Happy Memorial Day to All
