Surprises make me happy. Surprise packages from fellow collectors whom I've built a great rapport with that include cards for my son make me even happier. I've been talking with Michael S. since I was on my vacation and I picked him up some 1958 Topps set needs. He's a really super guy who coaches football at a local high school in Texas. An Astros and Rangers fan (mainly Astros), Michael has been talking to me via Kik messenger every day since our initial contact a month ago.
Michael sent me a really nice package of some Bowman Chrome Orioles (most notably this Nolan Reimold from the Futures Game) and a few other Orioles cards.
Additionally, Michael included some Giants cards for my son, Chris. The above Pablo Sandoval Bowman Chrome rookie blew me away when I saw it. This card is really awesome and I know Chris will feel the same when he sees it (he is at his grandparents' house right now).
So, thanks for the surprise, Michael. I really appreciate it! We'll have to continue to do more trading in the future as well as continue our conversations on sports, life and collecting. Thanks!
