Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

Yes, the leader cards used to be silly cheap. Cards with 2 or 3 Hall of Famers, selling for just over the price of a common.

We always collectively called them 'junk' cards (leaders, checklists, playoffs/World Series, etc.) and grouped them together in the back of the box, but they ain't no junk no more (especially your card!).

I just wish that when I was informally grabbing them a few years back I'd finished the job. They've gotten a bit tougher to snag affordably at this point.
